Buddha's Lions: The Lives of The Eighty-Four Siddhas (hardcover)

Biographies of the Great Siddhas: From farmers and wood-gatherers to royal ministers, scholars, and kings, the great siddhas, bearers of enlightened knowledge, came from widely divergent backgrounds. Yet each found within their way of life the keys to realization. Abhayadatta's account of the eighty-four great siddhas offers insight into the Vajrayana, the path that transforms ordinary experiences into opportunities for awakening. These stories reveal that the doorway to enlightenment is close at hand, and that the freedom found by the siddhas is as available now as in ages past.

Written by Abhayadatta, translated into English by James B. Robinson
