“At last, the theory of relativity for Buddhism. This scintillating work, the second of a series, titled “Unveiling the Esoteric in Buddhism”, seriously challenges the thinking concerning many conventionally accepted ideas about the nature of the content of Buddhist scriptures. The opinions of what Buddhists believe concerning the great majority of their sutras and Tantras will change in the light of the many revelations presented in this series of works, the central pillar of which are the syllogisms presented in The I Concept.

Scholars will find that there are strata of thought in the literature they have not even conceived of as existing. This will allow them to better understand the nature of that which has always been considered “ear whispered”, orally transmitted from the enlightened guru to the worthy student, because as well as the secret doctrines relating to their particular ideological stream, the context of the material differs from that which is normally (conventionally) accepted as correct.

This ground-breaking seminal work is set to become a milestone in the history of the evolution of the Buddha Dharma. It is intended as a panacea for those who perceive Buddhism to be in a period of malaise, despite the vast number of new publications, because of the lack of genuinely enlightened preceptors of the dharma that exist today. The information in The I concept will reveal why Buddhism lacks the enlightened, that the present fallacies taught and accepted as dharma today actually prevents enlightenment from occurring. The dharma therefore needs rectifying, for to present the truth of what actually is. Veridical ascertaining of truth is really what the Buddha Dharma ought to be about, and such dharma will be positively ascertained by the readers of The I Concept and this series of works.” (jacket)
