I have no doubt that interested and initiated practitioners of the Guhyagarbha Tantra cycle of practices will derive great benefit from reading and relying on this explantatory text. --from the Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama For those who have the necessary background in Tantra, this work will be a remarkable treasure trove of insights and explanations. --Eastern Horizon


As the first major commentary on the Secret Essence Tantra to appear in English, this book is undoubtedly of great significance. Succinctly elucidating all the key points of the Ngagyur Nyingma tradition's profound approach to Secret Mantra, it is one of the peerless Mipham Rinpoche's most important works, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to all serious students of the Vakrayana: study it deeply with qualified teachers and apply its principles each and every day in your own meditation this has been the approach of the great masters of the past, and the results speak for themselves.
