With the aid of color illustrations from Ben Christian - which include channels and chakras diagrams, beautiful thangkas, and postures for sitting - Rinpoche compresses centuries of practice commentary into fourteen short chapters. Covering everything from the preliminaries - Refuge, Bodhicitta, Mandala offerings, Vajrasattva, Guru Yoga - through to Samatha Mahamudra, Vipassana Mahamudra and finally on to Tantric Mahamudra, Rinpoche empowers the student to advance their practice with the \"very heart of Buddha's teachings.\"There are extensive how-tos and commentaries in this ultimately very practical book, especially the chapters on Samataha and Vipassana meditation. Rinpoche is well-known for the clarity of his in-person teachings on these important methods, and he brings that practicality.
