A BLAZE OF FIRE IN THE DARK - RIG-DZIN RDO-RJE ...

Together with a perusal of the historical role of sacrificial and magical fire rituals (homa)
in the tantric Buddhist communities of medieval India  this volume presents a wealth of new
texts and translations from the Byang-gter tradition of Tibet. From the root texts of the
wrathful homa rites of Vajrakila  revealed as Dharma treasures by Rig-'dzin rgod-ldem in 1366 
this book traces the evolutionary development of these practices in the light of innovative
ritual strategies taught by important holders of the lineage over the course of three
generations. The major text composed by Rig-'dzin padma 'phrin-las in 1695 (Accomplishing All
Deeds) has remained the standard work on this subject for more than three centuries  being
regularly performed to this day at the mother monastery of Dorje Drak as well as among the
wider community of those who follow the Northern Treasures Tradition in Tibet  Nepal  Bhutan 
Sikkim  Ladakh  and the rest of the world. Also to be found herein are vital pith instructions
by the mahaguru Padmasambhava on the proper mental attitude and aspect of highest wisdom
understanding that are to be brought to bear in the proper performance of these esoteric ritual
practices.
