Like a spontaneous cascade of wisdom nectar, the open and natural
words of Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, uncomplicated by scholarly
elaboration, flow here in the tradition of the direct transmissions of
Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the past. Through commentary on the
Preliminary Practices (Ngöndrö) prayer from the treasure text of the
great master Tragtung Düdjom Lingpa, insights into many central
practices emerge in order to deepen understanding of the foundations of
Vajrayana Buddhism. Also included in the book is a commentary on
Tsok Khang Dechen (Assembly Palace of Great Exaltation), the root text
prayer of the second Kyabje Düdjom Rinpoche, Jigdrel Yeshe Dorje.
