Summary: unique & profound
Review: This is one of my favorite Dharma books, one I find myself re-reading and sitting with, again & again. It's kind of like eating a meal. Each time I taste this book, I discover flavors I hadn't experienced before. This book is a mystery I continue to explore.

Summary: An unusual Dharma book
Review: Not the usual Dharma book. More like a poem or song than a treatise. Lyrically presents the 5 elements and the 5 Dakinis (sky dancers).HH Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche has few books out. This is one of them. Invaluable as the direct words of a modern accomplished practitioner.

Summary: fresh insights into an old tradition
Review: The first thing i noticed after i started reading this book was how poetic it was...it kind of reminded me of Chogyam Trungpa. With each chapter he presents a topic then proceeds to comment from every concievable angle. While the student familiar with Vajrayana's more secret practices will understand his allusions, he certainly presents his topics in such a way that they apply to everyone. An exhilerating read.

Summary: A trip.
Review: This is an interesting one. Written in a very unique voice, with a distict sense that many of the words in this book were made-up solely for this book, and may never be used again. The author is one of the sons of the late Dudjom Rinpoche, a massive figure in modern nyingma. Thinley Norbu does much here to break-up some of the notions the reader may have about spirituality, and does it in an almost psychedelic way, what with the plethora of... how to say, -he talks to you directly, from what seems a very spacious and conscious (read: realized?) perspective. Very personal, this book. I think a generous gift from a low-profile but highly developed teacher. Interested?
