Summary
As a young seeker almost 40 years ago, Thurman first journeyed to Dharamsala, where he became the first Westerner ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Now, Thurman guides you lucidly through the unifying principles of Tibetan Buddhism's many branches. You will discover Tibetan Buddhism's detailed map of the "bliss state of enlightenment", the principles of tantra for opening the doors to "infinite compassion and continuity", and how to overcome the dangers of the spiritual quest to discover states of consciousness that transcend even death.
Finally, here is Robert Thurman on audio, offering a rich and intellectually riveting retreat program, complete with many specific meditations and spiritual practices to fully immerse you in the mysteries of The Jewel Tree of Tibet. More than nine hours of compelling study with one of Tibetan Buddhism's greatest teachers.

Inspiring
Thurman has such an in-depth knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism which he communicates in a fluent manner which engages the listener totally. There are so many complex layers in this presentation which Thurman succeeds in conveying with great clarity. The perfect antidote to those superficial books on Buddhism which repeat the same old information. Thurman moves the listener into new and unexplored territories of spiritual enlightenment.

Of interest but meandering
I enjoyed learning more about Tibetan Buddhism and the meditations and visualisations led by the writer were of interest. I was frustrated by his continued reference to other religions, e.g. "You can visualise the Buddha, or Christ, or Allah," etc. I understand that he was trying to make his retreat inclusive (and indeed this is not an audiobook, it is the recording of a retreat), but it did not match what I was hoping to hear about. Also, there did not seem to be a clear thread of information; instead, the text meandered from one topic to the next and one idea to the next. He is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, and I gained from listening to much of it.

Questionable lineage
Although there is a lot of good information contained in this book the dubious lineage and choices of it's author, Professor Thurman bring doubt as to the motivations of his work. Without the guidance of a full qualified teacher who has not broken lineage to the root guru, Buddha Shakyamuni, any work may contain damaging or at least unhelpful advice. If you still wish to purchase this, please cross-reference the material against other sources not necessarily linked to Thurman's lineage, such as other Gelug-pa lines of Venerable Trijang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso.
