Praise

“His teachings can be found today in monasteries and retreat hermitages throughout central Asia, from Mongolia on the north, to Bhutan, Sikkim, and Ladakh on the south, and continue to be practiced with undiminished enthusiasm. My old friend David Molk working with Lama Tsering Wangdu has performed a wonderful service. . . . It is a great read and explodes with the sense and sensibility of the enlightenment dynamic.”—Glenn H. Mullin, author of The Dalai Lamas on Tantra

“A rare portrait of an elusive yet important religious figure in Tibetan Buddhism. . . . Offers an entertaining glimpse into the life of a classic tantric iconoclast.”—Buddhadharma: The Practitioner’s Quarterly

“Collects two venerable texts in one volume, both skillfully translated into English for the first time. . . . An invaluable reference for Buddhist studies shelves and reference collections. . . . Highly recommended.”—Library Bookwatch “This translation effectively presents this Master’s legacy from the 11th century, which is still as dynamic and inspiring for current times.”—East and West Series
