Review
"Dahl offers a valuable contribution for those engaging in this
practice. . . . Dahl writes with the humility that characterizes
the best translations and with an eye to the balance of accuracy
and readability. The book makes a strong case for approaching the
Buddhist path in a holistic way."—Buddhadharma: The Practitioner’s
Quarterly "These preliminary practices found in all the Tibetan
traditions provide a solid foundation for tantric practice. They
consist of initial and continuing study, reflection, and meditation
on the preciousness and uniqueness of human existence,
impermanence, Karma, and the causal dependencies."—The Middle Way,
the Buddhist Society's quarterly journal
