These life stories of eighty-four Tantric masters who achieved the highest results of the Vajrayana have inspired generations of practitioners. By relying on a qualified teacher, devoted men and women of different backgrounds: cobblers, princes, blacksmiths, and wood-gatherers, were able to take everyday experience as the path and reach enlightenment in a single lifetime. Filled with subtle, concise teachings expressed in the poetic songs of realization of the siddhas. Excellent introduction to the Vajrayana and a good resource for the study of Tibetan. Tibetan text, iconographical notes, with 84 detailed line drawings.

By A Customer
This review is from: Buddha's Lions: The Lives of the Eighty-Four Siddhas (Tibetan Translation Series) (Paperback)
this is about the legendary 84 siddha who were able to transcend the dense activity of their time and reach a way of life that expresses the ideal. I compare this to the ideals of theosophy, etc. (compare with Spalding's "Life and Teachings") top rate.
