Synopsis:
A new work taken from the edited teachings of Lama Yeshe, in the style of his previous Introduction to Tantra. This book is a commentary on the Dalai Lama's the Inseperability of the Spiritual Master and Avalokiteshvara: A Source of All Attainments - a text on guru yoga written when His Holiness was only nineteen years of age. In the first part of this book Lama Yeshe explains the difference between the sutra path of rejecting delusion and the tantric path of using delusion. After explaining the Dalai Lama's text on merging with Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion, Lama Yeshe also teaches on tantric mahamudra - transforming all appearances into Avalokitshvara, making every moment meditation, and how your own wisdom is your guru.
"Emptiness is a blissful experience, like nectar. Emptiness is not just a religious trip or mythology, it is scientific reality. When you realize emptiness, all concrete concepts of ego vanish. Automatically, you are liberated and experience everlasting bliss...I am not talking about things that are impossible to develop. Tantra fits the Western mind, which is a tricky, technical mind. You like beauty, good smells, lovely forms, and colours, don't you? You like to have nice things, to transform things, to decorate your house. It is the same with tantra, but we use the mind instead, that's all." Lama Yeshe.
