This book is a detailed explanation of the Song of The vajra, by Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche. 

The song of the Vajra is a Dzogchen mantra. As stated by Longchenpa, the original source of this mantra is The Tantra of the Union of the Sun and Moon (nyi zla kha sbyor), one of the Seventeen Tantras of the Category of Pith Instructions. Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche explains this mantra to be the naturally resonant mantra of the Buddha Samantabhadra in the form of a vajra song. Rinpoche stated that the song was not written in Sanskrit, but rather in the ḍākiṇῑ script of Uḍḍiyāna. Rinpoche points out that there are many different versions of this song. Rather than seeing one as correct and the others as incorrect, Rinpoche explained that they should all be considered as correct “because this teaching did not come from only one place or at only one time.”
