A comprehensive guide to the Mandarava Tsalung practices taught by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu This book is a revised and significantly expanded edition of the original 2007 publication on the Mandarava Tsalung teachings and practices as transmitted within the Longsal cycle.

The new edition has been updated according to recent teachings and features an extensive section on the Long Life Practice of Mandarava along with general clarifications about the related practices of Chulen and Sogthig. Other new sections include Chogyal Namkhai Norbu's Upadesha on the Tsalungs of Mandarava, with the full Tibetan text alongside a translation by Adriano Clemente, followed by Rinpoche's commentary on the same text, which explains the most important Tsalungs for training in dewa and trod (bliss and heat).

The book also contains instructions for training in the Sogthig breathing for the Chulen of Space from other retreats since 2010. A new appendix gives instructions on how to make a dadar.

Chogyal Namkhai Norbu explains, "We always prepare for these Tsalung practices by doing the main practice of Mandarava. Here we are explaining Tsalung practices that put a lot of emphasis on heat. We need to develop inner heat because it is important for discovering and developing sensation. The sensation of pleasure is one of the most effective means for having knowledge and realization. If we do not develop inner heat we do not have that possibility." *Reserved Items are the material intended for the Dzogchen Community.
