WONDERS OF THE NATURAL MIND: The Essence of Dzogchen in the Native Bon Tradition of Tibet

by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, fore. by H.H. the Dalai Lama

Although the Dzogchen teachings are principally familiar to Westerners through the teachings of the Nyingma school, they also survive in the ancient Bon Religion of Tibet.

Wonders of the Natural Mind presents Dzogchen as taught in the Zhang Zhung Nyan Gyud, the fundamental Bon text. The book summarizes the main points of Dzogchen and its relation to the various systems of Bon teaching.

In offering these teachings, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche provides the reader with a vivid and engaging portrait of Bon culture as he interweaves the teachings with his personal story and reflections on the practice of Dzogchen in the West.

"This book will be of great help to readers wishing to find a clear explanation of the Bon tradition, especially with regard to its presentation of the teachings of Dzogchen."--H.H. the Dalai Lama

"It is Tenzin's own experiences, both cultural and personal, that are the gem of this book, adding authority to his textual commentary."--John W. Tigue, Ph.D., Castleton State College

"...should be helpful to beginners and advanced practitioners alike... a succinct summary of the essential points of Dzogchen giving a synoptic overview of the tradition and its structure."--The Indian International Journal of Buddhist Studies
