About this product
Product Information
Luminous Essence is a complete introduction to the world of tantric thought and practice. Composed by the renowned Tibetan master Jamgon Mipham (1846-1912), the text provides an overview of the Guhyagarbha Tantra, which has been a central scripture in Tibetan Buddhism for well over a thousand years. Mipham's explanation, translated here for the first time, is one of the most celebrated commentaries on this classic text. Luminous Essence is intended for initiated tantric practitioners. To fully appreciate and assimilate its message, it should be studied under the guidance of a qualified teacher by those who have received the appropriate empowerments, reading transmissions, and oral instructions. I have no doubt that practitioners of the Guhyagarbha Tantra will derive great benefit from reading and relying on this explanatory text. --His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Reviews
"I have no doubt that interested and initiated practitioners of the Guhyagarbha Tantra cycle of practices will derive great benefit from reading and relying on this explantatory text."-from the Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama "For those who have the necessary background in Tantra, this work will be a remarkable treasure trove of insights and explanations."- Eastern Horizon, "As the first major commentary on the Secret Essence Tantra to appear in English, this book is undoubtedly of great significance. Succinctly elucidating all the key points of the Ngagyur Nyingma tradition's profound approach to Secret Mantra, it is one of the peerless Mipham Rinpoche's most important works, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to all serious students of the Vakrayana: study it deeply with qualified teachers and apply its principles each and every day in your own meditation "this has been the approach of the great masters of the past, and the results speak for themselves." "Sogyal Rinpoche, "I have no doubt that interested and initiated practitioners of the Guhyagarbha Tantra cycle of practices will derive great benefit from reading and relying on this explantatory text."--from the Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama "For those who have the necessary background in Tantra, this work will be a remarkable treasure trove of insights and explanations."-- Eastern Horizon
