This text, composed by the great Indian siddha Bhavideva, explains in detail how to develop and maintain the correct attitude towards one’s lama so that clarity and understanding develop and great achievements become possible. This invaluable teaching is essential for everyone who is studying and practising the Vajrayana path.
