Book Description

The Dalai Lama opens the door to the topic of Yoga Tantra with an extraordinarily detailed teaching on a classic text. Rarely in the Dalai Lama's lifetime has he given teachings of such a nature on this topic. There follows a translation of the Yoga Tantra section of Dzong-ka-ba's The Great Exposition of Secret Mantra, one of his most important works and a monument of Tibetan Buddhist literature. Jeffrey Hopkins concludes this book with an outline of the steps of Yoga Tantra practice. This is an invaluable book for anyone who is practicing or interested in Buddhist tantra in general.
This is the third book in a series presenting The Great Exposition of Secret Mantra. The first two books are Tantra in Tibet and Deity Yoga. Tantra in Tibet, part one of The Great Exposition, describes the differences between the Lesser and Great Vehicles, and between the Sutra and Mantra Great Vehicles. Deity Yoga, parts two and three of The Great Exposition, presents Action Tantra and Performance Tantra.

Dalai Lama

The Dalai Lama is the supreme religious leader of Tibetan Buddhists and until 1959 AD, the Dalai Lama represented the spiritual and worldly leadership in Tibet.
He is, of course, a Buddhist monk of the Gelugpa group, which was founded by Tsongkhapa (1357-1419).
The title of King of Tibet and the successor of Buddha in the eyes of his followers. The last to hold this title was the 14th Dalai Lama, born in Shanghai in 1935, when he was four years old when a group of lamas considered him to be the successor to the 13th Dalai Lama. It was then erected in Lhasa in 1940 and came to be considered a "living Buddha".
He was a pacifist. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his peaceful struggle for the liberation of Tibet. He has consistently advocated nonviolent policies, even in the face of extreme aggression. He also became the first Nobel Prize winner to be honored for his interest in global environmental problems.
