Summary:

"This book contains the first English translation of the Vajra Rosary Tantra (one of the key scriptural teachings of Buddha Vajradhara), with extensive annotations from Alaṁkakalasha's Commentary, and with a detailed introduction by the author. The Vajra Rosary is perhaps the most significant and detailed teaching attributed to Buddha instructing a practitioner in how to overcome the 108 energies and their related conceptions that circulate in the subtle body and mind, leading most of us to continued rebirth in cyclic existence. The Vajra Rosary tells us how to overcome these energies and achieve the freedom of enlightenment"-- Provided by publisher.
