The Lamp that Integrates the Practices is a systematic and comprehensive exposition of the most advanced yogas of the Esoteric Communion (Guhyasamaja) Tantra as espoused by the Noble Tradition. Aryadeva's work is perhaps the earliest prose example of a "stages of the mantra path" work in Sanskrit, and it exerted immense influence on later Tibetan tradition. This volume presents the Lamp in a tri-lingual format: its Sanskrit original, a critical edition of the eleventh-century Tibetan, and a thoroughly-annotated English translation. Features a comprehensive, tri-lingual glossary.
