Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. FabulousBy John S. BakerThis is a book to read very slowly. It is very dense in meaning. I have to let the material penetrate my brain and sink in.The translator; Sarah Harding; has been doing this kind of work for a long time. I am not able to compare her work to the Tibetan original; but as an English text; this one is easy to read. She finds interesting ways to express unfamiliar ideas. I have had many oral teachings and read many books over the years concerning Tibetan Buddhism and its practices. This text keeps my attention and does not drop into familiar channels (the same thing said in the same way as other texts). In other words; the text seems fresh and keeps my interest.This is the second time I have bought this book. The first time I thought it was way over my head and I gave it to a teacher. I'm not sure I'm any better equipped to read it now; but I feel closer to my Shangpa heritage I want to become more familiar with Niguma; one of the founders of the tradition. I guess my imperfect understanding of the material is the best I can do.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. There are no illusions with Sarah Harding words and Work!By ReySarah Harding's research and work is always exceptional. She offers insight that can only come from first hand experience; so you feel the writing walks the talk! Kudos; Sarah.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
