Praise for A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar…

"Thinley Norbu's commentary is not only profound but also refreshingly clear, making it valuable and accessible to both experienced practitioners and those new to this path."—Tricycle

"This magnificent original work on the ngöndro practice of Tibetan Buddhism is cause for celebration. Rich with scriptural citations, incisive reasoning, and personal realization, it shows that the ngöndro is not just a preliminary teaching but the quintessence of the Vajrayana path. Starting with ways to turn our mind to Dharma, it systematically leads us to the pinnacle: the realization of the ultimate nature of mind, the union of the primordially pure nature and spontaneously accomplished qualities of Dzogchen. All Vajrayana followers must treasure this masterpiece of profound teachings by one of the greatest masters of our age."—Tulku Thondup, author of Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth and The Healing Power of Mind

"A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar is one of the most profound dharma books I have ever read. Read it slowly, like poetry, savoring and contemplating each sentence, and you will be rewarded with the highest Buddhist view."—Melvin McLeod, Editor-in-Chief of the Shambhala Sun and editor of the Best Buddhist Writing series
