Tantra in Tibet: The Great Exposition of Secret Mantra

El Dalai Lama en 2012
byThe 14th Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso)

The first volume of the series that rendered Tsongkhapa's Great Exposition of Secret Mantra into English. The Dalai Lama's introduction explains what distinguishes the tantric vehicle from the path of the perfections and why it requires compassion and an understanding of emptiness as its basis. It is a dense, technical work of study for readers already grounded in Tibetan Buddhism.
