Author(s): Lingpa, Jigme

Tibetan Buddhism

The most celebrated work of Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798), one of the most important figures in the Nyingma lineage. In a slender volume of elegant verse, this root text (new in this revised edition) presents the entire Buddhist path according to the Nyingma school. Because it is so concise and makes use of elaborate poetic language, the commentary is indispensable.
