Publisher's summary

In the classic best seller, Introduction to Tantra, Lama Yeshe offered a profound and wonderfully clear glimpse into the sophisticated practices of Tibetan Buddhist tantra. This present book, the last major teachings of this great lama, opens up the world of advanced practices for Highest Yoga Tantra initiates in much the same way his earlier work opened up the world of tantra in general.

Following Je Tsongkhapa's (1357-1419 C.E.) text Having the Three Convictions, Lama Yeshe introduces the renowned Six Yogas of Naropa, focusing mainly on the first of these six, the practice of inner fire (tummo). Mastery of inner fire quickly brings the mind to its most refined and penetrating state - the experience of clear light, an extra-ordinarily powerful state of mind that is unequaled in its ability to directly realize ultimate reality.

Lama Yeshe felt that 20th-century Westerners could easily grasp the often misunderstood ideas of this esoteric tradition: "We really need tantra these days because there is a tremendous explosion of delusion and distraction - and we need the atomic energy of inner fire to blast us out of our delusion."

Lama Yeshe's aim was for his students to actually taste the experience of inner fire rather than merely gain an intellectual understanding. Lama's own realization of the transformative power of these practices comes through, inspiring his students to discover for themselves their own capacity for inexhaustible bliss.

This is a starting point

A worthy read peppered with difficult ideas. Expect plenty of research and cross referencing for complete understanding. And of course don't forget to practice.

Excellent narration btw

excellent teachings

wonderful presentation. very informative in understanding tantra with a more scientific process. The details and commentary on concepts like illusory body were a joy to read. Inner fire meditation is magnificent!

fascinating but could really use some diagrams

fascinating descriptions into the philosophy and practical techniques of inner fire meditation. but difficult to follow it's visualizations without a better idea of what these symbols look like, for example, the "short A" and other symbols are supposed to be visualized in "secret chakra" locations etc. But is fascinating none the less even if it is not excelent for practice.
