"The most exciting Buddhist publication of the season is actually one of Snow Lion's more esoteric offerings, Rosemary Fuch's translation of commentaries on the Uttaratantra Shastra by Jamgon Kongtrul and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso. The exciting thing about this translation is that it has succeeded where five previous efforts failed: it finally makes it possible for non-Tibetan speakers to study in traditional contemplative fashion one of Buddhism's principal philosophical works. In previous editions, the words were translated, but not in a form we could actually practice. Now thanks to Rosemarie Fuchs and the other learned students of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso, an important mahayana meditation practice is ours to use on the cushion in order to directly realize the teachings on the essence and source of buddhahood."--Robin Kornman, Shambhala Sun
