<p>This fourteenth-century text by Butön Rinchendrup, one of Tibet's greatest scholars, is a detailed introduction to the system of tantra known as Yoga Tantra. It includes a presentation and discussion of the major Yoga Tantra practices as well as descriptions of each Yoga Tantra text and a history of Yoga Tantra lineages in India and Tibet.</p><p>The descriptions of individual Yoga Tantra texts include the teacher, place, audience, and time of the teaching of the text in addition to summaries on a section-by-section basis of the content of the text. The discussion of the <i>Compendium of Principles</i> (<i>De kho na nyid bsdus pa, Tattvasaṃgraha</i>) – the central text in the Yoga Tantra corpus – is particularly extensive and detailed.
