Snow Lion04/26/2006Pages: 256Size: 6 x 9ISBN: 9781559392488DetailsAn illuminating look at key aspects of Tibetan Buddhist practice—of interest to many practitioners—is presented in this practical and interesting book. Through demonstrating the interrelationship of the outer, inner, and secret teachings and a textual analysis of the words of four renowned Dzogchen yogis, it makes clear that the practice of bodhichitta is a necessary aspect of every practice within Tibetan Buddhism. Unlike other books that present either the teachings of bodhichitta or the teachings of Dzogchen as their own system of practice, this book presents them not as complementary practices but as deconstructed inner and outer practices which are fundamentally intertwined. Anyen Rinpoche works to create a new generation of holistic practitioners who value the depth found in the entire spectrum of teachings. While Anyen Rinpoche acknowledges the profundity of the Dzogchen teachings, he dispels the myth that they are an effortless path to liberation and, rather, shows that they are a progressive path that requires diligence, insight, and the compassionate mind of a Bodhisattva. He presents a style of contemplation that combines Dzogchen meditation on the ultimate view with the generation of bodhichitta, such as has been taught by Nyingma yogis throughout the centuries. This book presents the union of Dzogchen and bodhichitta not only through philosophy and scripture but also through concrete methods for practice.RelatedCheck items to add to the cart orWe found other products you might like!Author BioAnyen Rinpoche, a tulku from Amdo, is a Tibetan master of Dzogchen meditation as well as a seasoned scholar. He has taught extensively in Tibet, China, and throughout Southeast Asia, Japan, and North America. He lives primarily in Denver, Colorado, where he founded Orgyen Khamdroling Center with a shedra (college) for Westerners.Praise"Taking up the Sutra and Tantra as one holistic integrated path as presented in Anyen Rinpoche's book has been the intention of many great masters including Padmasambhava Longchenpa, Jigme Lingpa, and others. Those wishing to attain the pristine result promised by the Teachings should read this book." —Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, author of Present Fresh Wakefulness
