Beschreibung
Vajra Wisdom presents the commentaries of two great nineteenth-century Nyingma masters that guide practitioners engaged in development stage practice through a series of straightforward instructions. The rarity of this kind of material in English makes it indispensable for practitioners and scholars alike.
   The goal of development stage meditation in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition is to directly realize the inseparability of phenomena and emptiness. Preceded by initiation and oral instructions, the practitioner arrives at this view through the profound methods of deity visualization, mantra recitation, and meditative absorption.

Autoren
Khartrul Kunkyen Tenpe Nyima [Kun-mkhyen bsTan-paʼi-ñi-ma, 19. Jh.], recognized as a reincarnation of Śāntarakṣita, was a nineteenth-century master from Repkong, the homeland of Shabkar and many other masters. His father was Chöying Thobden Dorje, the author of the Treasury of Sūtras and Tantras, a landmark text widely studied in eastern Tibet. [Vgl. TBRC P1PD12763.]
Shechen Gyaltsap IV [Źe-chen Rgyal-tshab Padma-ʼgyur-med-rnam-rgyal, 1871-1926] spent most of his life in retreat and was one of the main teachers of the late Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. [Vgl. TBRC P235.]
