In a very personal letter written by Padmasambhava in the eighth century the great guru
speaks candidly of his own experience eradicating evil by means of the practice of Vajrakila
and he gives much cogent advice on the appropriate view meditation and action in which all
those who would follow in his footsteps should engage. Of great value to practitioners of
guhyamantra in the present day this book contains a collection of twenty-five complete texts
including original treasures from the 14th century revelations of Rig-'dzin rgod-ldem in Tibet
and insightful commentaries by those skilled in the subtle yogic techniques taught within them.
Deep and dark and dangerous these profound treasures strike at the very core of our being and
explain the methods by which one's innermost beliefs hopes and fears may be realigned in order
to release an awesome hurricane of destructive power that will sweep away all falsehood. Not
for the faint-hearted these texts are spoken of in whispers and rarely revealed. The eye of
the storm however is serenely peaceful and pervaded by a sense of joyful liberation
confident understanding and loving compassion. May these teachings be encountered by worthy
recipients!
