Luminous Essence is a complete introduction to the world of tantric thought and practice. Composed by the renowned Tibetan master Jamgön Mipham (1846–1912), the text provides an overview of the theory and experiential assimilation of a seminal tantric scripture, the Tantra of the Secret Essence (Guhyagarbha Tantra). Embodying the essence of tantric practice, this text has been a central scripture in Tibetan Buddhism for well over a thousand years. Mipham's explanation of this text, here translated for the first time, is one of the most celebrated commentaries on the Tantra of the Secret Essence, which today occupies an important place in the tantric curriculum of Tibetan monastic colleges. Luminous Essence is a specialized guide meant for initiated tantric practitioners. To fully appreciate and assimilate its message, it should be studied under the guidance of a qualified teacher by those who have received the appropriate empowerments, reading transmissions, and oral instructions.

The Mysteries of Clear Light, A Timeless Legacy, is the first of an open-ended series, which speaks to you in the words of the Great Beings that have always watched over the development of the Human race. Their communication cuts through the misinformation that accumulated throughout ages of ignorance and self-interest and helps our species adapt to the vital role it has to play in these stressful times of changes. The always-unfolding story encompasses all periods, passed, current and future; its message is one of hope and reconciliation. The style, at times, reflects the character of the Being who dictated a given chapter but invariably and effortlessly builds upon itself and gently reminds the reader of all that our spirit has always known. We do not teach, for in truth there is nothing to learn. The realizations to which you awaken are your own, we merely show you alternatives. Your immortal spirit will assist you in making the best choices for you and help you fulfill the purpose for which you incarnated. Your reward is not enlightenment; you already have that within you; rather it is the freedom to make use of the power you have always had.

Essence of Ambrosia is a guide to Buddhist meditation, composed by the prolific and eclectic Tibetan scholar and practitioner Taranatha (1575-1634). Following the lead of Atisha, Taranatha expounds a graduated approach (known as lam rim) to cognitive and meditative development designed to address the needs of three types of person: the person of lesser, average and greater capacity. Taranatha's innovative contribution to this genre is to instruct the student in "contemplation sessions", that specifically guide a beginning Buddhist practitioner through the traditional practices of meditation, beginning with devotional reflection up to the apex of Buddhist meditation, insight (vipassana) meditation. The result is a remarkably accessible and concise insider's guide to the Mahayana Buddhist path.

The book answers the question what Self-realization is and which stages lie before and beyond.

Further it contributes by putting the insights of the first two thirds of the book into perspective with new readable translations (from Sanskrit with commentaries) of Yoga-S
