[ 4.0 stars ] "While some of Thurman's language may be unfamiliar to traditional Mahayana Buddhists, in perhaps an attempt to strike a relevance with Western non-Buddhists, nonetheless this compilation of source texts conveys much of the essence of the Tibetan Vajrayana-Mahayana canon and as such is beneficial to both Buddhist practitioners, monastic and lay, to scholars and students and to the wider audienc ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "It's just that simple. Great history with great explaination of the whys and what for's. I love this book I keep giving it away and have to buy myself new copies. I love The Jewel Tree of Tibet as well if for nothing else his explainations of how energy cannot be destroyed and something cannot go into nothing. Everyone needs to realize this point.

[ 3.0 stars ] "I never like to write a bad review, especially not when the author had displayed such a sincere effort to enlighten his audience.

[ 3.0 stars ] "Thurman is a Buddhist in the Tibetan tradition (as am I), and his introduction to this volume, while very valuable and succinct, makes no claim at objectivity. He asserts that the Tantrayana (Tibetan Buddhism, to simplify) is superior to the Mahayana and Theravada traditions because it represents the culmination of Buddhism's "progression." Right off the bat, that makes me uncomfortable. Why ..." Courtesy by Amazon
