The two volumes are both extremely useful for anyone seriously interested in Buddhist philosophy in general and Tibetan Buddhism in particular. Dudjom Rinpoche gives a thorough, encyclopedic overview of all Buddhist schools, seen from the Nyingma (i.e. The Great Perfection, or Dzogchen) perspective, and an account of the history of the Nyingma lineage is given. The reference volume contains amongst other items a brilliant bibliography. Dudjom Rinpoche's work is not easy reading, but demonstrates the complexity of Buddhist thinking and practice. Gyurme Dorje's translation is annotated and is in itself a remarkable feat in buddhology and tibetology.

This tome is a must for those interested in theory and practice in the Nyingma tradition. The section on the 9 yanas is excellent. It will be a lifelong reference work for me.

this book make a review on the history and pracice of Nyingma school of tibetan buddhism. The first English translation of the master work of His Holiness Dujom Rinpoche, The Nyingma School is presented in two volumes and constitutes the most complete work of it's type in the west

I had the very good fortune of meeting and attending meditation
sessions with Dudjom Rinpoche when he was in New York City. The
Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism is a beautiful and highly
magickal book that should be in the library of anyone interested
in the occult and Tibetan Knowledge. This book is written in
such a way that there is a transcendental essence about it and
one truly can feel and sense the great magickal power that
Dudjom Rinpoche manifested through this book.

The book of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche gives a full account of Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
