The ritual focuses on living within the mandala of \u003cstrong\u003ePadmasambhava\u003c\/strong\u003e, also known as \u003cstrong\u003eGuru Rinpoche\u003c\/strong\u003e, and becoming inseparable from the Guru in his \u003cstrong\u003eEight Manifestations\u003c\/strong\u003e. The root text is from the terma tradition of \u003cstrong\u003eChhimed Rigdzin Lama\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003eC. R. Lama\u003c\/strong\u003e), one of the great \u003cstrong\u003eNyingma\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003elamas\u003c\/strong\u003e of the modern period. The text is given in Tibetan, with pronunciation (for reciting) and each verse is translated, with commentary. It can be used as a meditation practice text for those wishing to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Low's overall commentary is based on an edited transcript of various talks and is offered as a way for \u003cstrong\u003ewestern people\u003c\/strong\u003e to engage with \u003cstrong\u003etantric\u003c\/strong\u003e practice. The text itself is from the \u003cstrong\u003eNyingmapa\u003c\/strong\u003e tradition of Tibetan \u003cstrong\u003eBuddhism\u003c\/strong\u003e and is a treasure text (or \u003cstrong\u003eterma\u003c\/strong\u003e) revealed by \u003cstrong\u003eNuden Dorje\u003c\/strong\u003e, a 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century \u003cstrong\u003eterton\u003c\/strong\u003e of whom C. R. Lama was a recognised incarnation. James Low first translated it with C. R. Lama in the 1970's and it became the most frequently practised larger text amongst his students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ritual text is very important and powerful because of the depth of its content and the shortness of its \u003cstrong\u003elineage\u003c\/strong\u003e, in other words, its closeness to Padmasambhava, the root of all the Nyingma lineages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those in any tradition of \u003cstrong\u003eTibetan Buddhism\u003c\/strong\u003e the commentary illuminates how symbolism is used as a method of \u003cstrong\u003etransforming samsara into nirvana\u003c\/strong\u003e. Transformation is the distinctive method of \u003cstrong\u003etantra\u003c\/strong\u003e.
