![Tibetan Yogas of Body, Speech, and Mind by [Wangyal Rinpoche, Tenzin]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41V13QKjQfL._SY346_.jpg)
I"m glad I didn't start with this book on the three doors of body, speech, and mind. In many ways it's more of a reference/guide book to support an existing practice than to start a new one. As such, I feel it's probably most useful for students enrolled in his "The Three Doors" training program, or for self starters, like myself, who use his practice trilogy on the three doors.
My main concern with beginning with this book is that I would have almost certainly never have done anything with it. I'd just have more head knowledge. Excellent head knowledge, but unused, unpracticed head knowledge just the same. Yet this doesn't mean this isn't an excellent book. And if you're only looking for a concise understanding of this Bon practice, I can't think of a better single volume than this one.
However if you would actually like to have a better chance of changing your life, I'd recommend starting with these three practice manuals first. All three come with either a practice CD or DVD.
Awakening The Luminous Mind: Tibetan Meditation for Inner Peace and Joy -- This is my favorite. It can be practiced anytime, anywhere, with near instant results.
Awakening the Sacred Body -- The DVD makes this so much easier to understand. Drawings of this yogic practice never worked for me.
Tibetan Sound Healing: Seven Guided Practices to Clear Obstacles, Cultivate Positive Qualities, and Uncover Your Inherent Wisdom -- Finding a supportive place to practice this may be a challenge.
None of these practices are difficult to do. Which is part of the problem since we tend to value complexity over simplicity, assuming that it's more advanced and thus more effective. This has had lead teachers of all traditions to come up with all kinds of preliminary teachings and practices just to get the student to the point where they can finally accept simplicity. You can save yourself many years and much grief if you can accept the effectiveness of such simple practices like these.
