Book Description:
|
Tantra constitutes the fabric of a Tibetan Buddhist's daily practice, but no practice of tantra can be successful without adherence to the tantric precepts, or vows. Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Dalai Lama's tradition, is perhaps the greatest philosopher ever produced by Tibet's Buddhist culture, and remains a figure of immense significance. This book is the first English translation of his explanation of the tantric precepts.
