Summary
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
The foundations of Vajrayāna practice, taught as practice rather than as recitation.

Phakchok Dorje, son and heir of the great yogin Shakya Shri (1853–1919), wrote these two manuals for the practitioners of his father's retreat community. The Condensed Heart is a guide to the uncommon preliminaries: refuge, the awakening mind, Vajrasattva, the maṇḍala offering and guru yoga. The Profound Pith Instruction explains the generation stage of deity practice step by step, from the three samādhis to the "four nails" of recitation.

Both insist on one point: that the preliminaries and the generation stage are not "the outer husk of the path", counted and completed, but the path itself, to be taken into experience.

Translated from the Tibetan, with an introduction, notes, glossary, bibliography and index, by Rob Newton M.D.
