WISDOM NECTAR: Dudjom Rinpoche's Heart Advicetrans. by Ron Garry, a Tsadra Foundation Series bookDudjom Rinpoche was one of the seminal figures in Tibetan Buddhism in the twentieth century, yet very few of his religious writings have been translated into English. This volume contains a generous selection of his inspiring teachings and writings, the core of which is a lengthy discussion of the entire path of Dzogchen, including key instructions on view, meditation, and conduct, along with direct advice on how to bring one's experiences onto the path. Also included in this book in their entirety are the oral instructions, tantric songs, and songs of realization of His Holiness's Collected Works, along with a generous selection of the aspiration and supplication prayers. "True wisdom nectar, the spontaneous vajra songs and teachings of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, are of such a precious nature that just reading or hearing a few words will incite inexpressible wisdom and blessings."-- Loppön Jigme Thutop Namgyal "As the representative of the great vajra master Padmasambhava, Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche was himself a great scholar and realized meditation master. In general all of his writings and rediscovered treasures are completely authentic and sublime. In particular his direct spiritual advice from the heart, such as the teachings found in the pages of this book, serve as profound reminders to awaken and seriously pursue the path to fully enlightened Buddhahood. We rejoice that our vajra brother Ron Garry has translated this material since he is someone who practices with true heartfelt faith and devotion in the Buddhadharma."-- Lama Chönam and Sangye Khandro, members of the Light of Berotsana Translation Group "This book reveals the timeless essence of holy Dharma. Every word rings true. This masterpiece will certainly inspire many generations to come."-- Tulku Thubten Rinpoche, Spiritual Advisor, Dharmata Foundation "There are many gems of advice for meditators at all stages of the path...give[s] a powerful sense of the spaciousness of [Dudjom Rinpoche’s] mind--and also of his energy, kindness, humility and playfulness.... Any reader is sure to be changed for the better by receiving this heart advice."--Thar Lam "This collection of prayers and songs from Dudjom Rinpoche (1904-1987), former head of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, provides a rare opportunity to absorb the core insights of a master. The teachings -- often transcribed from the same poetic verse that he presented orally to his students -- are not concerned with complex rhetoric. Rather, they are intended to communicate directly Dudjom Rinpoche's personal realization, his heart advice. A prose section, "Essential Advice for Solitary Medication Practice," includes a complete discussion of the Dzogchen path and answers all the questions that might arise during a three-year retreat (and a shorter one, too)."--Tricycle Magazine "Wisdom Nectar: Dudjom Rinpoche's Heart Advice... is a work of inspiring, beautiful translations of Rinpoche's writings. This is a book that will be of interest both to the general reader, as well as those who practice Dzogchen and scholars. And for those who study the Tibetan language: you will find an extensive word list in the Tibetan script."--Tibetan Language Institute His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche(1904-1987) was the head of the Nyingma lineage during his lifetime. He was a treasure revealer, teacher, and poet; he also built monasteries, retreat centers, and stupas. Ron Garry has an M.A. in integral psychotherapy and a Ph.D. in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, and has completed the traditional three-year retreat. He is also the translator of The Teacher-Student Relationship. EXPLORE THIS TITLE FURTHER... 155939224X | |
