overview
The Tantric Grounds and Paths of the General System of Highest Yoga Tantra (based on Guhyasamaja). In order to be of maximum benefit to others, Buddha revealed both the common and uncommon paths to full enlightenment. The common path of sutra, as embodied in the lam-rim teachings, serves as the basis for the uncommon path of tantra, capable of guiding qualified practitioners to enlightenment in even one short lifetime. Following Ngawang Pelden's text on The Tantric Grounds and Paths, the most venerable Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche presents a comprehensive explanation of the various elements making up the lightning vehicle of tantra. His teachings include an explanation of the three lower tantras as well as a more detailed explanation of the two stages of highest yoga tantra, the most profound of all four levels of tantric practice.
Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche, feels that by making his teachings available, sincere people will benefit. Here is Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche's advice and comments on the availability of his Tantric teachings on LamRim.com:
"In the past, the main reasons to maintain secrecy concerning such teachings were to prevent wrong views, negative minds and the decline of faith concerning the teachings as well as to prevent argumentation and dispute.
However, these days, it is difficult to maintain secrecy because so much information (correct and incorrect) is available in books and on the internet etc.
The people who come to LamRim.com have a genuine interest for this knowledge. To keep it secret will not benefit the people seeking this knowledge at this time."
