Summary: "This book is based on transcripts from the author's teachings on the five buddha families given at the School of Arts in Lacot, France on December 11, 2007. The explanation of mind's nature, using the structure of the five buddha families, belongs to the tantric approach to practice. It is therefore helpful to understand that Tibetan Buddhist tantra is a general concept for the basic activity of the Vajrayāna, its systems of meditation, and a traditional practice that necessarily includes our experiences, as well as the potential of those experiences. In this context, the ground represents the practitioner; the path which purifies our negative experiences is the path of meditation; and the result, or fruition, is that which arises as an effect of this practice. The author begins with a discussion of the foundations for practice and then explores the five-buddha-family principle"-- Provided by publisher.
