Overview

The Complete Explanation is the renowned master-work of Machik Labdron, the 11th century Tibetan female saint and tantric practitioner. In this, the first full translation into English, Sarah Harding shows how Machik developed a systeem that takes the Buddha's teaching and applies it to the immediate experiences of megative mind states and malignant forces. Her unique feminine approach was to invoke and nurture the very 'demons' that people fear and shy away from, transforming those reactive emotions into love. It is the tantric version of developing compassion and fearlessness, a radical method of cutting through ego-fixation.
