The path to enlightenment, self-realization, moksha or spiritual liberation is essentially a pathway of Yoga. Specifically, this pathway of "Buddha Yoga" entails both mental meditation practice and inner cultivation of the Qi or Prana within your body via your willpower so that you can attain the first fruit of the spiritual path, which is an independent spiritual body that can leave your physical body at will. Buddha Yoga is also a pathway that requires you to polish your mind and behavior so that you can achieve the purity of virtue in thought, word and deed.
Regardless of their religion and hard work at spiritual training, most people won't achieve the initial fruit of the spiritual path because they usually lack the proper instructions and devotion to effective spiritual practice efforts. The most they can then hope for is success in the afterlife, during which time they can choose to become Bodhisattva protectors or guardian spirits for all sorts of earthly activities. Why waste time if you can start training for such a role now?
That being the case, this book teaches ordinary people how to properly perform spiritual practices and how they can most effectively train to become a guardian spirit, Buddha or Bodhisattva of their own choosing.
