This book is an essential guide on the often perilous path to self-transformation. B. Simhananda invites the reader to explore one's inherent potential, through an exceptional and groundbreaking study of Gampopa's famous twelfth-century Buddhist classical works. Let your mind be inspired and your soul stirred through this impeccably written masterpiece. Divided in two sections, one part presents the author's modern liberal rendition of Gampopa's Root Text, and the other, in complete alignment with Tibetan tradition, remains the author's own contemporary commentaries on the mentioned work, helping the reader to extend his comprehension of the various topics. Readers of Buddhist literature and philosophy will appreciate "Gampopa's Precious Garland" in a new mode of understanding and in today's contemporary style of written expression. Once again, B. Simhananda offers us, in a modernized way, an interpretation of his profound understanding of Gampopa's teachings.
