A worth reading classical Tibetan Buddhist book by Patrul
Rinpoche introduces readers into the depth of Tibetan Buddhism. It is one of
the rare classical books translated into English language by the Padmakara
Translation Group trying to reach out to the wider audiences.
The technical aspects of the different stages of meditations
are briefly described, which I believe that would be beneficial if practiced consistently.
Some of the higher meditation techniques are also briefly described which
obviously seem to be unnatural, but practical. Well, it’s all about the
enlightenment and to achieve it, the book has it the right path.
The fact impermanence of earth or life and the universe
itself has been revealed; which also includes the beings which live in the
outer universes. Obviously the principle of cause and effect are
comprehensively described and the solutions revealed too.
As everyone is well aware about the Karmic effect, brief
confrontations with the bad Karma and accumulation of good Karma is very well
instructed.
A certain part of Guru Yoga and the ultimate method for
arousing the wisdom of realization are well instructed attributing how capable
we are and how much perseverance and patience we have.
So as the title of the book, the teachings in the book are based
on the teachings by his Master/teacher of the author without much manipulation.
