"Anyone who knows the Jewel Ornament well can say that they really understand Buddhism."Khenpo Konchog Gyaltsen

"Contains a wealth of useful material for anyone committed to the study and practice of the path and stages, or the Great Vehicle. The introduction is a fine overview of the text, given in a form accessible to the Western non-scholar practitioner.
