The Secret Oral Teachings in Tibetan Buddhist Sects

This book was fairly interesting if somewhat opaque to me due to my ignorance around Buddhism. There were some interesting ideas put forth in the book, I really liked the following quote

The traveler who finds his road blocked by a river will use a raft to reach the opposite shore, but, his shore once reached, he will not carry the raft on his shoulders while continuing his journey. He will abandon it as something which has become useless.

Also, the concept that reality is really the aggregation of discrete flashes of energy was interesting. The book does get into the weeds a fair bit in regard to various Buddhist and Hindu sects which didn’t mean much to me, again due to ignorance.
