| Abstract |
"The main part of this book is a very traditional namthar, full of prophesies, demons, treasure discovery, and visions. However, it also coveys some very central features of tantric Buddhism. In Karma Chagme's words: "New students and the narrow-minded should read this liberation story to gain an understanding of the essential points of the sutras and tantras as well as particular Nyingma teachings. One with good insight into the sutras and tantras but little or no knowledge of treasure teachings will achieve a basic background concerning treasure teachings by reading this biography. People who walk fast and desire to visit sacred places and mountains may consult this text to discover the history of certain holy sites. If wealthy persons desire to practice dharma, reading this biography will encourage them to engage in virtuous activities and thus attain ultimate bliss. Monks serving great lamas should study this work to learn how their hardships accord with dharma. If persons related with Terton Migyur Dorje's teachings read this, they will be happy, inspired and enthused, After reading it, people with wrong views who speak negatively will repent and faith will arise in their minds. Those who doubt should also read this liberation story to have their doubts eradicated from the roots. If revealers of false treasures read it they will despair and feel discouraged. Everyone with faith in Lord Orgyen should read this text and marvel at the wonderful stories". The second part is a commentary by the Terton's main student, on the foundational practice that should be completed before pursuing more advanced practices"-- Provided by publisher. |
