Product Description

Jamgon Kongtrul's Treasury of Knowledge in ten volumes is a unique encyclopedic masterpiece embodying the entire range of Buddhist teachings as they were presented in Tibet. The Elements of Tantric Practice sets forth the inner system of meditation--that of highest yoga tantra, which comprises two phases. The phase of creation relies primarily on the use of the imagination to effect personal transformation. In the phase of completion, practitioners actually achieve this transformation by the use of powerful inner yogas that manipulate the inner energies and constituents of the mind and body, leading to the realization of the fundamental nature of mind and phenomena. Together these practices constitute, in Kongtrul's words, a magnificent tradition...cherished by scholars and siddhas of [ancient] India who achieved total realization [by relying] on it.

Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars (1 customer review)

5.0 out of 5 stars exhaustive, Jun 30 2011

By Arthur Rytus - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Treasury of Knowledge: Book 8, Part 3: The Elements of Tantric Practice (Hardcover)

The (almost) 200 pages of endnotes are remarkable, easily a book in themselves.

In most books of this sort, you'd expect the endnotes to refer you to the particular Tibetan text where you can find more info. (So you're S.O.L. if you can't read Tibetan.) But here the notes are extensive and precise, detailing everything you could ever want to know about various tantric systems and practices.

I wish Sarah Harding's book had notes like this.
