From the Back Cover
In Tibet, six great mother monasteries uphold the doctrine of the Great Secret Nyingmapa. This is a comprehensive explanation of the Palyul tradition where the non-dual Great Seal Mahamudra-Great Perfection Ati Yoga and the Kama and Terma lineages are joined together as one great river of practice. H.H. Penor Rinpoche is the present head of the Nyingma lineage and the Palyul tradition.
"Expertly translated into English by Katherine Rogers...is a text of wisdom transcending generations, and a very highly recommended addition to Buddhist studies supplemental reading lists and academic reference collections. "-- The Midwest Book Review

Can't see the tree for the forest,

This review is from: A Garland of Immortal Wish-Fulfilling Trees (Paperback)
This book is a compilation (in order) of short (a few pages each) biographies of the lineage and throne holders and other lamas of the Palyul Lineage of the Nyingma tradition. The biographies include much legendary material (especially in the older ones) and consist mostly of the many empowerments and types of teachings each person received and gave. If you are interested in an intricate history of a continual lineage, this book's for you. Unfortunately, there are virtually no teachings in the body of the work. It does include a 20 page notes section which does include some valuable information of some interest (otherwise, I'd have given it 1 star).
