[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","The 'Great Exposition of Secret Mantra' by Tsongkhapa, with commentary by the Dalai Lama, explores the core principles of Buddhist tantra systems. This work delves into the differences between the Sūtra and Mantra Great Vehicles, emphasizing the unique practice of deity yoga as the central feature of the Mantra Vehicle. Tsongkhapa argues that the union of method and wisdom in deity yoga is essential for achieving Buddhahood, a state unattainable through the Perfection Vehicle alone. The book provides an analytical examination of the path to Buddhahood, supported by scriptural references and reasoned analysis, emphasizing consistency and coherence over mere tradition. This scholarly work is intended for readers interested in the intricate philosophical and practical distinctions within Tantric Buddhism."]
