AbstractLama Yeshe was both one of the most beloved Tibetan Buddhist masters of the late 20th century and a remarkably effective teacher and communicator. In one of his earlier books, Introduction to Tantra, he manages to present a subject that has been misinterpreted and muddled by numerous commentators in a clear and accessible way.

since his death in 1984,many of his teachings have been collected and some have been published,but still some of his most important teachings have yet to become readily available. The book represents a significant development. It is the first book that examine key tantric deity practices in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. What is remarkable is that again,as with his book on Tantra, his teachings make coherent and understandable to the general reader and those just discovering Buddhism practices that once were considered arcane or hidden.

Lama Yeshe strongly believed that practices that helped develop compassion and wisdom should not be Limited to advanced practitioners, but that the man in the street could benefit from them as well. In the book,he provides a commentary on a short guru yoga practice written by H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama. The practice Includes visualizations that inspire the development of compassion and wisdom.

The final section of the book goes into detail on the subject of Mahamudra, the true nature of all phenomena, another potentially tricky subject. Lama Yeshe presents the teachings by drawing on examples from daily life and by introducing meditation practices that all can follow.
