Title: Can't see the tree for the forest
Review: This book is a compilation (in order) of short (a few pages each) biographies of the lineage and throne holders and other lamas of the Palyul Lineage of the Nyingma tradition. The biographies include much legendary material (especially in the older ones) and consist mostly of the many empowerments and types of teachings each person received and gave. If you are interested in an intricate history of a continual lineage, this book's for you. Unfortunately, there are virtually no teachings in the body of the work. It does include a 20 page notes section which does include some valuable information of some interest (otherwise, I'd have given it 1 star).
