Description
This is an explanation of Offering to the Spiritual Guide (Tib. Lama Chspa), one of the most profound meditation practices of Mahayana Buddhism.

He explains the three essential components of Buddha's Sutras and Tantras - the two preliminary practices of the stages of the path and training the mind, and the actual swift path to full enlightenment, Vajrayana Mahamudra.
