Summary
The Buddha’s definitive teachings on how we should understand the ground of enlightenment and the nature and qualities of buddhahood.
All sentient beings, without exception, have buddha nature—the inherent purity and perfection of the mind, untouched by changing mental states.

Critics Review
“The most exciting Buddhist publication of the season… . It has succeeded where five previous efforts failed: it finally makes it possible for non-Tibetan speakers to study in traditional contemplative fashion one of Buddhism’s principal philosophical works. In previous editions the words were translated, but not in a form we could actually practice. Now, thanks to Rosemarie Fuchs and the other learned students of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso, an important mahayana meditation practice is ours to use on the cushion in order to directly realize the teachings on the essence and source of buddhahood.“—Shambhala Sun “This seminal text clearly details with great clarity the view which forms the basis for Vajrayana and especially Mahamudra practice. Thus it builds a bridge between the Sutrayana and Vajrayana levels of the Buddha’s teaching elaborated here in Jamgon Kongtrul’s commentary.“—Indian International Journal of Buddhist Studies
Arya Maitreya
Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thayé (1813–1899) was a profoundly learned and realized master who compiled the Five Great Treasures. He wrote the outstanding commentary to The Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra translated here, titled The Unassailable Lion’s Roar. This commentary uses Maitreya’s text as a background for the Mahamudra teachings, presenting them in a clear and accessible manner.
Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche provided the annotations and explanations upon which this translation is based. He is a renowned scholar, a highly accomplished yogi, and a living example of the ongoing tradition of oral transmission.
