The Torch of Certainty. This translation of a fundamental Tantric text reveals the richness and depth of the intellectual and contemplative traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. The book describes the Four Fundamental Practices that all practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhism must fulfill. The nature of impermanence, the effects of karma, developing an enlightened attitude, and devotion to the guru are some of the subjects covered in this book.
Three eminent contemporary masters of Tibetan Buddhism – Kalu Rinpoche, Deshung Rinpoche, and Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche – explain the significance of The Torch of Certainty for today’s students and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.
JAMGÖNG KONGTRÜL (1813-1899) was a versatile and prolific scholar. He has been characterized as the “Tibetan Leonardo” due to his significant contributions to religion, education, medicine, and politics.
