Three root texts with lengthy commentaries by Gyatrul Rinpoche. Yes, you get some good offerings here by the incomparable Dudjom Rinpoche as well as one of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's favourite writers, Dodrupchen Jikmé Tenpé Nyima and a Dream Yoga text by Lochen Dharma Shri, the brother of Terdag Lingpa. But the section that always sticks out in my mind is in one of the sections by Gyatrul Rinpoche, in which he humbly recounts his hardships in escaping Tibet and settling in exile. It show more was just a few paragraphs in the midst of the main teaching but it gave me a clear flash of insight into what the Tibetans have been through and brought me to tears . That moment is worth far more than the price of the book. show less
