Autorentext

Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche was among Tibetan Buddhism’s greatest masters of the 20th century. In 1980, when Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche first came to the West, he was among the first Tibetan masters to teach the most essential instructions of Dzogchen beyond Tibet. From that time until his death, he gave these vital oral instructions to thousands of Buddhist students from the world over. His writings provide a glimpse into the influences and experiences that shaped the man whose simplicity and humility attracted an immense cross-section of humanity.

Klappentext

This book is an unmistaken source book on how great practitioners of the Dzogchen spent their days and lives.**

Dzogchen Practitioner’s Daily Manual by Kyabje Tullku Urgyen Rinpoche is compiled with the wish to keep it as simple as possible. What is offered to Dzogchen Yogis and Yoginis is a practice manual. Included herein, are pith instructions, guidelines for training on a daily basis as well as complementary practices for those seeking a more elaborate path. Additionally, there is the support of hidden treasure texts themselves and words of advice from past masters’ treatises.

We are all very familiar with the words, “There is nothing to do in Dzogchen.” Yes, that is true, if we have arrived at the fruition, but most of us are on the path, which is confusion. To clarify the confusion on the path, to sustain rigpa, we need the past karma, a qualified teacher, and the practices to purify our obscurations and gather the conducive circumstances to recognize the correct view. So, there are ‘some things’ to do, recognize rigpa, train in it, and gain stability in that correct recognition. Many of these supporting practices are included in this book.

The arrangement is quite straight forward, three sections, first, pith instructions, second, recommended daily practice manual, and third, complementary practices to enhance the simple day-to-day ones. The reader can choose whichever is most suitable for him or her or decide to stick with the daily. Finally, at the end is the Tibetan source material reference for the practitioner to locate the original texts in Tibetan for the needed reading transmissions and empowerments.
