Review:

''Mahamurda : The Moonlight has helped numerous serious Dharma students. It is excellent that the second edition is now being brought out.'' --from the foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

''I am so delighted that this text is being published in the English language. It will greatly benefit English speaking students of Buddhism. I myself have used this text in working with my students and I have always found that is communicates, clearly and simply, the mahamudra teaching of the Practice Lineage.'' --Chogyam Trungpa

''Now, from the hands of one of Tibet s most gifted living translators, we have a great treasure, a large and profound work of incalculable value. Readers to whom meditation is not very much more than a pleasant beneficial pastime, might be daunted by its size, depth, and scholarly exposition. Those for whom correct meditation practice is of enormous importance should, at all costs, possess themselves of a copy. To them it will prove a life-long and utterly reliable guide.'' - --John Blofeld
