Thinley Norbu Rinpoche is a preeminent teacher in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. The eldest son of His Holiness D djom Rinpoche, he is a primary holder of the D djom Tersar lineage and is considered to be an emanation of Longchenpa, the great fourteenth-century Nyingma master.
Thinley Norbu's commentary is not only profound but also refreshingly clear, making it valuable and accessible to both experienced practitioners and those new to this path. --Tricycle <br> This magnificent original work on the ngondro practice of Tibetan Buddhism is cause for celebration. Rich with scriptural citations, incisive reasoning, and personal realization, it shows that the ngondro is not just a preliminary teaching but the quintessence of the Vajrayana path. All Vajrayana followers must treasure this masterpiece of profound teachings by one of the greatest masters of our age. --Tulku Thondup, author of Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth and The Healing Power of Mind
