THE PRACTICE OF DZOGCHEN

by Longchen Rabjam, intro. & trans. by Tulku Thondup

"This is one of the most significant works on Tibetan Buddhism to be published in recent years, treating with grace, beauty and depth a most important subject. This is undoubtedly one of the most comprehensive works on the Nyingma to appear in English."—Glenn H. Mullin, Tibetan Review

In his masterful introduction to the body of this work, Tulku Thondup covers the three outer and inner tantras, the three division of Atiyoga, Dzogchen and the other yanas and traditions, and last but not least, excerpts from the exemplary lives of teachers (including Longchen Rabjam) to illustrate the ways of training in Dzogchen.

"An invaluable guide for those who seriously wish to experience the true nature of the mind."—Parabola Magazine

"Authoritative, comprehensive and clear. This book fills a major gap."—Matthew Kapstein, University of Chicago

"An ambitious work of contemporary Tibetan scholarship with over one hundred original sources consulted in its making... may prove indispensable to any serious study of Dzogchen philosophy."—The Tibet Journal

Longchen Rabjam (1308-1363) is the most celebrated writer and adept of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. His excellent writings on the view, meditation and the result in Dzogchen, and in the sutras and tantras make up the core of this book.

Tulku Thondup Rinpoche is the author of The Healing Power of Mind(with Daniel Goleman) and Boundless Healing, and lives in Cambridge, MA.
