It is an indication that something is wrong if you have to go read another book or two on history and philosophy of Buddhism in order to understand the esoteric dogma she is talking about.Now to put all this in simple terms the jest of the book seams to be:We are all going to die and we should think about it all the time.There is no hope and we should not even tryAll is suffering and we should not try to do anything about itAll is pain and we should try to find more pain.We do not have a soul and if you think you do you are deludedThese are not good messages for someone who is really in a state of depression or fluxI can not see what anyone gets out of this bookHer point if there is one is almost un-understandable through all the esoteric drivel
