by John Myrdhin Reynolds

Description
"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 eighth century and rediscovered six centuries later by Karma Lingpa. The commentary by the translator is based on the show more oral teachings of Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche and Lama Tharchin Rinpoche." show lessTags

A wonderful translation of a small but important part of the cycle known popularly as the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
from "The Profound Teaching of Self-Liberation in the Primordial State of the Peaceful and Wrathful Deties": A Terma Text of Guru Padmasambhava Expounding the view of Dzogchen, Rediscovered by Rigdzin Karma Lingpa
