One Sentence Summary: An extensive introduction to and history of the systems of Yoga Tantra in India and Tibet.

Description:

This fourteenth-century text by Butön Rinchendrup, one of Tibet's greatest scholars, is a detailed introduction to the system of tantra known as Yoga Tantra. It includes a presentation and discussion of the major Yoga Tantra practices as well as descriptions of each Yoga Tantra text and a history of Yoga Tantra lineages in India and Tibet.

The descriptions of individual Yoga Tantra texts include the teacher, place, audience, and time of the teaching of the text in addition to summaries on a section-by-section basis of the content of the text. The discussion of the Compendium of Principles (De kho na nyid bsdus pa, Tattvasaṃgraha) – the central text in the Yoga Tantra corpus – is particularly extensive and detailed.
