Tantric teachings are essential & taught by Buddha to help all of us reach our full, beautiful potential--the meaning of life, to become enlightened! Wonderful & will change your life in the BEST possible way!

This book and tis whole series do a pretty good job at describing a certain sect of Buddhism. They are well written, but miss the mark in several places. They seem to teach the views of the author and do not put to much emphasis on the teachings of Buddha(sidhartha). They are good but if you are looking for the classical teachings of Buddha that I expected.

A deeply beautiful book about genuine love, compassion and wisdom. This is a counter point to another review who's information is incorrect. Buddha certainly taught Tantra, thank goodness, because the fully enlightened state is not possible without it – not in a thousand lifetimes. However the person is *absolutely 100 percent* correct in that Buddhism (including Tibetan Buddhism) has absolutely nothing to do with sexual practices. Tantra is the most precious gift we received from the Buddha and this persons limited knowledge is misleading. Please enjoy this beautiful text which is entirely founded upon profound universal love. Tantra has been misunderstood and mis-taught, but not here.

Tantrism has essentially nothing to do with Buddhism, only Tibetan Buddhists claim otherwise. Tantrism comes from Hinduism and has practices which are completely against Buddha's teachings. Buddha never taught sexual practices to the disciples.
