Very helpful, probably not for beginners

Revisado: 01-03-23

This book gives an interesting overview of the Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana views, including a breakdown of the lower and higher tantric practices. It is very general but very helpful

Excellent, better than I expected

Great explanation of the narrative mythology and inner quality of goddesses and their mantras. I love the inclusion of Tara and other Tibetan mantras

Very practical

Excellent historical look at the life of buddha

Revisado: 05-16-20

This book combines a biographical look at the life of Siddhartha Gautama, as well as an exposition of his philosophy. This is important because many aspects of buddhism are impossible to understand without knowledge of the environment the Buddha lived in, and an understanding of the ideas which he diverged from

I thought this book would be cliche-absolutely not

Revisado: 01-14-20

Excellent narration
possibly my new favorite book. I thought it would be cliche millenial responsibility avoidance, but it is the complete opposite.

very thorough mantra use instruction

Revisado: 08-14-19

This is a great alternative to Transcendental Meditation instruction. Nobody owns the technique of using a mantra... whether it is labeled TM or DM...
this is just enough information to truly cover the subject, without fluff. I was taught by a different instructor who I now believe was influenced by yogani and his method (not that it matters!!!!)

very practical explanation of Mantra

Revisado: 06-24-19

Love this book
Emily distinguishes between mindfulness and meditation. mindfulness practice can be used to prepare for meditation. The meditation technique she teaches is mantra based... so you basically get what the "TM" people sell for $900 in their courses for the cost of the book. I have dabbled in all of the practices in the book, but Emily puts them together in a practical way with a strategy and guidelines for consistency.
Best of all she reads the book herself, and doesn't have a "yoga voice" lol

best intro to tantra I've heard

Revisado: 10-18-17

I wish i had discovered this understanding of buddhism a long time ago. I made the mistake early on of thinking that earlier buddhism (hinayana) was more authoritative and superior. I have since learned that i have almost no interest in early buddhism, and greatly prefer mahayana and tantric conceptions. this book will also be useful for people studying hindu tantra.

excellent

Revisado: 10-17-17

this is an extremely paraphrased version of the gita, with commentary. however, i consider it the best explanation of the real meaning of the bhagavad gita.
