One moment of total awareness is one moment of perfect enlightenment." This is the ultimate insight of Dzogchen, or "the Great Perfection," the pinnacle teaching of Tibetan Buddhism.

With Natural Radiance, you can now learn these time-honored practices as they have been shared for centuriesthrough direct transmission from an accomplished master of the tradition. Join Lama Surya Das as your trusted guide to help you awaken to the sky like nature of mindwhat is known in Tibetan as rigpa, or total and pure presence.

The Vajra Essence by Dudjom Lingpa Pdf

A systematic presentation of the path of Dzogchen, the Great Perfection, by one of its most renowned proponents and rendered by a master translator. Düdjom Lingpa (1835–1904) was one of the foremost tantric masters of nineteenth-century Tibet, and his powerful voice resonates strongly among Buddhist practitioners today. The Vajra Essence is Düdjom Lingpa’s most extended meditation on the path of Great Perfection, in many senses a commentary on all his other Dzogchen works. Dzogchen, the pinnacle of practice in the Nyingma school, is a radical revelation of the pure nature of consciousness that is delivered from master to disciple and perfected in a meditation that permeates every moment of our experience. Revealed to Düdjom Lingpa as a visionary “treasure” text in 1862, the Vajra Essence takes the reader through seven stages of progressively deeper practice, from “taking the impure mind as the path” up to the practice of “direct crossing over” (tögal). The longest of Düdjom Lingpa’s five visionary works on Dzogchen, readers will find this a rich and masterful evocation of the enlightened experience. This is the first translation of this seminal work in any Western language, and B. Alan Wallace, with his forty-five-plus years of extensive learning and deep meditative experience, is one of the most accomplished translators of Tibetan texts into English.

Awakening Through Love by John Makransky Pdf

Mother Theresa, The Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi.....Some admire such figures from afar and think, "How special they are; I could never be like that". But as John Makransky teaches, the power of real and enduring love lies within every one of us. Awakening Through Love teaches how to enjoy a life imbued with that love, through Buddhist methods for cultivating genuine caring and appreciation for others. Makransky is a fully qualified guide to this practice: a professor of Buddhism and Comparative Theology at Boston College and a father of two, he is also a close student and colleague of Lama Surya Das, who provides the foreword here. Above all, he radiates an earnest and genuine caring, both in person and on the page. Rooted in Buddhism's Dzogchen tradition, Makransky asserts that love is part of the very nature of our being, and that if we can clear away the delusions that obscure our true nature, love will flow to and from us effortlessly. Awakening Through Love imparts meditations for both gradual cultivation and direct insight. Makransky also provides a uniquely convincing and moving presentation of the role of a teacher, or "benefactor," in deepening our spiritual path. Part of the brilliance of Awakening Through Love is that it finds what is universal in Buddhist ideas and practices and renders them usable for a general audience, with many references to ways that Christians and others can adapt the methods to their own traditions. Peppered with inspiring contemporary stories, the book will leave readers feeling more open, more inspired, and more engaged.

A Chariot to Freedom by Shechen Gyaltsap Gyurme Pema Namgyal Pdf

A unique commentary on the preliminary practices of Vajrayāna Buddhism, from a beloved Nyingma master. A Chariot to Freedom is one of the most beloved presentations of the preliminary practices, or ngöndro, that form the foundation of the Vajrayāna Buddhist path. This set of practices, common to all schools of Himalayan Buddhism, is what nearly every practitioner begins with, yet it also constitutes a complete method in and of itself. Although ngöndro are considered a prerequisite for further teachings and initiations into other practices, many of even the most accomplished masters continue to engage in them every day. Most of the other excellent works on these foundational techniques are specific to a particular tradition, but this text is widely considered to be exemplary, in part, because it is applicable to all traditions of ngöndro. Drawing from the original words of the Buddha in the sūtras and from later treatises by such masters as Nāgārjuna, Shāntideva, and Guru Padmasambhava, Shechen Gyaltsap’s commentary is a wonderfully curated anthology of Buddhist teachings on the preliminary practices of Vajrayāna Buddhism. It covers the thoughts that turn one’s mind away from ordinary pursuits and toward enlightenment, taking refuge, arousing the mind set on enlightenment (bodhichitta), purification, maṇḍala offering, and Guru Yoga. Shechen Gyaltsap explains why each practice is beneficial and provides profound and eminently useful guidance for practitioners, while simultaneously transmitting the wisdom of generations of Buddhist masters.

Naked Awareness by Karma Chagme Pdf

In this classic seventeenth-century presentation of the union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen, Karma Chagmé, one of the great teachers of both these lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, begins with an overview of the spirit of awakening and the nature of actions and their ethical consequences. Next, drawing from his enormous erudition and profound experience, Chagmé gives exceptionally lucid instructions on the two phases of Dzogchen practice—the "breakthrough" and the "leap-over"—followed by an accessible introduction to the practice of the transference of consciousness at the time of death. The concluding chapters of this treatise present a detailed analysis of Mahamudra meditation in relation to Dzogchen practice. This tour de force of scholarly erudition and contemplative insight is made all the more accessible by the lively commentary of the contemporary Nyingma Lama Gyatrul Rinpoche. Although this book stands alone, it is the concluding section of a single body of teachings by Karma Chagmé, the earlier section published under the title A Spacious Path to Freedom. Karma Chagmé was a major teacher of the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, and his writings have also become central to the Payul Nyingma order, making him an ideal figure to integrate these two great meditation systems.
