A friend asked for recommendations of orientations to Buddhist tantra. For a pithy, poetic composition Creation and Completion hits it, for Vajrayogini in particular English's introduction is excellent, and for encyclopedic treatment Kongtrul's Treasury towers.
I'm partial to Ken's intro, as well.
May all be swiftly established in the union of bliss and emptiness!
May all realize the primordial purity of all phenomena!
May all know their original face!
Finished. 🖤🖤🖤
my first Bolaño and I now know why people have recommended him to me for years
incredible prose, veers between lucidity and delirium, a man on death's door ransacking his memories in a final attempt to deny his complicity in atrocity
