The underlying theme is the practice of the six perfections, the main focus of the Bodhisattva's actions: giving, moral discipline, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom. The accounts are illustrated by a rare series of twenty-two thankas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaves of the Heaven Tree can be used to develop understanding of karma, the nature of the Bodhisattva path, and the value of practicing the six paramitas.

On one level it presents a biography of Padmasambhava and recounts the introduction of the Dharma to Tibet. On a deeper level, accessed through meditation and realization, it conveys insight into the multidimensional aspects of time, knowledge, and consciousness that the Great Guru embodies. While language cannot convey the full scope of its meaning, this text is important for students of the Nyingma tradition. Fifty-eight thankas included enhance understanding of this extraordinary master, who is \"never far from those with faith, or even from those without it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich in names of persons, contributions, practices, and locations, this text is a valuable resource not only for the history of Buddhism in Tibet, but also for conveying the spiritual environment created by the blessings and activities of the Great Guru and his disciples.
