5.0 out of 5 stars A very readable explanation of "The Source of All My Good", July 30, 2010

This review is from: Preparing for Tantra: The Mountain of Blessings (Classics of Middle Asia) (Paperback)

I love this version of Je Tsongkapa's explanation of "The Source of All My Good." I find the writing to be very easily readable and not burdensome, which some Tibetan Buddhist commentaries can be. This is simple and easy to follow even if you are not a buddhist scholar. The steps to Enlightenment are explained so well. The "Source of All My Good" is a prayer to the Teacher, or Lama, and it is recited before teachings in this practice. This book is meant to simply explain each of the verses in this prayer.
