This first truly comprehensive introduction to the hidden practices and traditions of Tibetan Buddhism is the companion volume to Indestructible Truth. It provides an entre into the mysterious world of Tantric (or Vajrayana) Buddhism as practised in Tibet and as conveyed by Tibetan masters teaching in the West. In an accessible and engaging style, the author demonstrates how the practice of Tantra fosters an appreciation for ordinary life as the place where ultimate revelation occurs.
