Ebook: Clear Meaning: The Force of Wisdom Tantra

Description

Clear Meaning is a thorough introduction to the base, the force, the three bodies, the five wisdoms, and the nine vehicles. It is a Tantra of the Great Perfection, also known as Atiyoga or Dzogchen. This Tantra was first put into writing in India by Prahe Vajra, also known as Garab Dorje, who transmitted it to Mañjuśrīmitra, who transmitted it to Śrī Singha, who transmitted it to Padmasambhava. Padmasambhava brought Clear Meaning to Tibet and hid it there in the Eighth Century of our era. Over four hundred years later, Guru Chowang (1212-1270) discovered the book, and released it. Because it was treasured away by Padmasambhava and later revealed, it is known as a Treasure (gTer ma). This Tantra is preserved in the Hundred Thousand Tantras of the Ancients (Nyingma Gyubum), and is here translated for the first time into English.
