An Anthology of Writings by Masters of the Great Perfection.
The Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice known as Dzogchen (pronounced Zog-chen) is a practical method for accessing the pristine, clear awareness that lies beneath the chatter and confusion of our daily thoughts. This book provides the keys for understanding Dzogchen and putting it into practice.
Marcia Schmidt, a long-time Buddhist practitioner, has gathered here the most accessible, down-to-earth writings published on this subject and has organised them into a study guide for the serious beginner on the Buddhist path. The collection includes writings from such well-known and venerable masters as Milarepa, Padmasambhava, Shantideva, Chogyam Trungpa, and Tulku Urgyen.
The book includes an informative editor's preface as well as two forewords by prominent Tibetan masters that provide fundamental background information that will be helpful to readers new to this subject. The book also includes short, descriptive guiding notes intended to assist both independent students and teachers leading workshops.
In a single source, readers will find in-depth explanations of each stage of the Tibetan Buddhist path along with ways to apply the Dzogchen teachings.
