"The Guhyasamaja Tantra is one of the most important practices in the Gelukpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, and Lama Tsongkhapa himself has spent tremendous effort in explaining, clarifying, and giving instruction on this practice. Gyumé Khensur Lobsang Jampa holds the uninterrupted lineage of this practice coming from Lama Tsongkhapa himself. Making such an explication available to advanced, sincere Western Dharma students is a great gift and opportunity."--Yangsi Rinpoche, president of Maitripa College "Artemus Engle deserves our great thanks and hearty congratulations for his heroic effort in studying the Guhyasamaja generation-stage practices and in achieving a lucid English translation of this exceptional teaching by the highly respected expert practitioner/scholar, the retired abbot of the Gyumé Lower Tantric College in South India, Khensur Lobsang Jampa Rinpoche. This detailed exposition of the sophisticated creative yoga of the advanced tantric monk-practitioners will finally help scholars, who are just beginning to go beyond the sensationalism attached to this field, to undertake the serious exploration of the original texts--the software of the yogis. It will also become an important source for practitioners who aim for a taste of the extraordinary possible attainments, for which these time-tested Indian and Tibetan traditions provide an amazingly well-developed set of key insights and techniques."--Robert A.
