"These songs are meant to give assurance from their experience of what a person on this path can achieve most in this lifetime. With clear awareness of impermanence, these masters made the best use of this life to realize egoless compassionate wisdom by developing the profound teacher-student relationship of heart-to-heart transmission. I lived with genuine practitioners who had all the sublime qualities and were entirely free from even the tiniest attachment to spiritual pride. What can anybody expect to achieve more than the light of a serene enlightened mind?" —Drugu Choegyal Rinpoche

"This wonderfully inspiring collection of texts, both past and present, of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage is a welcome addition to our knowledge of authentic Tibetan Buddhist teachings. Ranging from the Mahasiddha Tilopa through Tsangpa Gyare and Pema Karpo to modern masters such as Togden Shakya Shri, Khamtrul Dongyu Nyima, and Adeu Rinpoche, we are offered a spectrum of profound advice on Mahamudra meditation and related practices from the perspective of the Drukpa Kagyu school. This volume is a treasure-house of instruction that would benefit whomever has the good fortune to peruse its pages." —Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

"A collection of some of the most important texts to awaken human beings, tried and proven by meditators for more than a thousand years." —Erik Pema Kunsang
