These teachings on Dzogchen, the heart essence of the ancient Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, were given by the Dalai Lama to Western students in Paris, London, Helsinki and San Jose. Exploring this esoteric subject in print for the first time, His Holiness offers the reader an unprecedented glimpse into this pinnacle of the Buddhist vehicles.
Paying tribute to the uniqueness of Dzogchen, the Dalai Lama sets it within the wider spectrum of Tibetan Buddhism as a whole. He explains the essence of Dzogchen practice and addresses questions such as the special features of dzogchen and what are the crucial principles of the other Buddhist paths which a dzogchen practitioner should know. This is a book of uncommon richness.
"His Holiness the Dalai Lama brings to his explanation of Dzogchen a perspective and breadth which are unique... to receive such teachings from His Holiness is, I feel, something quite extraordinary." Sogyal Rinpoche.
"For our time, His Holiness the Dalai Lama embodies the completely pure essence of the Buddha's wisdom and limitless compassion for all beings. His knowledge of the teachings of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism in general, and the Dzogchen teachings in particular, is impeccable. His deep understanding and generosity of spirit make him an unerring and reliable guide through the subtleties of the profound vehicle of Tibetan Buddhist practice known as Dzogchen." Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche. |
