The foundations of Vajrayana practice are laid out with eloquence and precision here by one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters of our age. His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche's commentary on the preliminary practices (ngöndro) is informed by his profound realization and wide-ranging scholarship, and illuminated with an array of quotations from the Vinaya, Sutra, and Tantra traditions. In addition to the commentary on the outer and inner preliminary practices, he provides other invaluable instructions on the correct view, conduct, and activity of a practitioner. Dudjom Rinpoche taught that the realization of the teachings of the Great Perfection depends entirely on the practice of these preliminary practices, thus his compassionate exposition of them here makes this book a particularly precious resource for anyone who seeks to remove the obstacles between themselves and the total freedom of enlightenment.

All religions teach codes of ethical behavior. So too does Buddhism. This books is a translation of an indispensable exposition of the three levels of moral codes in Tibetan Buddhism—the vows of individual liberation; the vows of the bodhisattva, who selflessly strives for the enlightenment of all beings; and the vows of tantra, the esoteric path of Mahayana practice. For the first time, a comprehensive explanation of these vows is presented with explanatory teachings on how to practice them in everyday life. Until his recent passing, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, author of The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism, was the supreme head of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Here, he offers his authoritative and highly useful commentary on the role of ethics and morality in Buddhist practice, outlining in detail the meaning and scope of the vows, and gives practical advice on maintaining the vows as supportive tools for meditative practice and daily life.
