Book Description

September 1995
The nuances and subtleties required for successful Tantric Buddhist practice were meticulously laid out by Grand Master Lu in a series of discourses at the Rainbow Villa in western Washington state in 1992. In these talks, Grand Master Lu shares the wealth of information he has obtained from his twenty spiritual masters so that practitioners may quickly attain spiritual response from their Personal Deity. Sharing with the reader the various visualizations, mantras, hand gestures, and breathing techniques for a highly successful practice, Grand Master Lu enables the practitioner to quickly progress toward Buddhahood. The reader can learn the methods for invoking deities, paying homage to the deities, guarding against negative forces, merging consciousness with one?s Personal Deity, and entering into samadhi.

jdho (Calgary AB Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Complete and Detailed Exposition on the True Buddha Tantric Dharma (Paperback)
I first read this book and could not comprehend its contents until I read "Encounters with the Spiritual World" also written by Master Sheng-Yen Lu. In order to understand the meaning behind this book it is important to have read Grand Masters other books about his experiences. After going back to "A detailed exposition on the true buddha tantric dharma" I was actually able to follow the instructions to better my meditation. I also recommend going to a local True Buddha chapter for help in the practices. Having read this book I have experienced many phenomenons in practicing the guru heart practice and recommend it to everyone to try. I am sure if they pray wholeheartedly they too will experience spiritual healing.

The English translation of this book can be improved, as the Chinese version is much better.
