This present book, the last major teachings of this great lama, opens up the world of advanced practices for Highest Yoga Tantra initiates in much the same way his earlier work opened up the world of tantra in general. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing Je Tsongkhapa's (1357-1419 C.E.) text \u003ci\u003eHaving the Three Convictions\u003c\/i\u003e, Lama Yeshe introduces the renowned Six Yogas of Naropa, focusing mainly on the first of these six, the practice of inner fire (\u003ci\u003etummo\u003c\/i\u003e). Mastery of inner fire quickly brings the mind to its most refined and penetrating state--the experience of clear light, an extra-ordinarily powerful state of mind that is unequaled in its ability to directly realize ultimate reality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLama Yeshe felt that twentieth-century Westerners could easily grasp the often misunderstood ideas of this esoteric tradition: \"We really need tantra these days because there is a tremendous explosion of delusion and distraction.and we need the atomic energy of inner fire to blast us out of our delusion.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLama Yeshe's aim was for his students to actually taste the experience of inner fire rather than merely gain an intellectual understanding. Lama's own realization of the transformative power of these practices comes through, inspiring his students to discover for themselves their own capacity for inexhaustible bliss.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLama Thubten Yeshe (1935-1984) was born in Tibet and educated at the great Sera Monastic University.
