This volume gives Ringu Tulku's teachings on the practice of White Tara. He describes how the formal sadhana practice incorporates all aspects of practice; including shamatha, vipassana and Mahamudra. The teachings are based on the short sadhana of White Tara written by Tenga Rinpoche, with a new English translation of the text. Many questions and answers are included to clarify the practice; and Ringu Tulku's characteristic descriptions, which relate the practice firmly back to ourselves and our lives, as we are right now, are invaluable.

All profits from the sale of this book go to Rigul Trust to help fund health care, education and poverty relief projects, particularly in Ringu Tulku's homeland of Rigul.
