The Fulfillment of All Hopes: Guru Devotion in Tibetan Buddhism

For those familiar with other works by Tsongkapa, this books follows his usual outline style. At times it is obscure, but the author had done a yeoman's job in researching the Tibetan literature which is relevant and clarifies the points. This is a what to do and not do instruction book on how one worships a guru.Some appears a bit protocolish...Do you prostrate to a lay guru if you are a monk? Other parts are excellent advice...the exact qualities of a guru, what do do if you can only find a deficient guru. It is a worthwhile read for the serious Buddhist student. It is probably too much depth and erudition for the person who has casual involvement in Buddhism.
