This work is a translation of three early Indian Vajrayana treatises from the Sanskrit by three of the early Buddhist Tantric adepts renowned as Mahasiddhas, numbering by the most accepted account eighty-four, who flourished in the medieval era of India from the 8th-12th centuries C.E.

Buddhism's messages are timeless. Yet they're often obscure. How do we best uncover them? In his third Buddhist-themed book, author J.M. Walsh peels away the layers of conflicting doctrine and supernaturalism to expose the tradition's most profound and basic tenets.

The voices of the three sages reflect Buddhist discourses and writings. Although the discussion is fictional, its content isn't entirely ...
