An Introduction to the Nature of One's Own Mind
Padmasambhava
Translated by John Myrdhin
Paperback, 170 pages
Foreword by Namkhai Norbu
A text belonging to the same cycle as
The Tibetan Book of the Dead,
this instruction on the method of "self-liberation" presents the
essence of Dzogchen, "the Great Perfection," regarded in Tibet as the
highest and most esoteric teaching of the Buddha.
Teaching the
attainment of Buddhahood in a single lifetime, this text was written
and concealed by Guru Padmasambhava in the 8th century and rediscovered
six centuries later by Karma Lingpa. The commentary by the translator
is based on the oral teachings of Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche and Lama
Tharchin Rinpoche.
