Best guidebook for Dzogchen practioners,
By Bruce (Calgary Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Simply Being: Texts in the Dzogchen Tradition (Paperback)
This book is an exceedingly valuable guidebook for Dzogchen practioners. There are about a dozen translated works in this book of 171 pages (small print). Three of these texts are absolutely magnificent guides for using the Dzogchen method of enlightenment: 1."The Direct Indication of Buddhahood Beyond Classification Being the Section on the Instruction on the Primordially Pure Great Perfection Belonging to the Collected Very Secret Dakini Teachings from the Composition of the Essential Profound Truth"; 2."The Natural Condition & the State of Bewilderment" by Padmasambhava; 3."Self-Liberating Understanding Being the Profound Method for Gaining Enlightenment via the Ultimate Great Perfection" by Patrul Rinpoche. I strongly recommended buying this book and reading these sections of it at least once a week, preferably more often. I also strongly recommend Tarthang Tulku's books from Dharma Publishing, particularly his Time Space Knowledge vision which is an alternative self-contained enlightenment path/method.

Collection of short texts,
By Neal J. Pollock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Simply Being: Texts in the Dzogchen Tradition (Paperback)
I was strangely disappointed in this book: perhaps, I expected too much of it. But, I was also disappointed in Low's "Being Right Here" (a terma text). Despite the impressive list of articles and their authors in this collection of very short Dzogchen texts, it didn't do much for me. Nevertheless, I got some lovely quotes for my collection:"Whatever arises nourishes the naked empty awareness." p. 110 "With the state of the natural made free of all object reliance, one abides exactly as pristine cognition beyond mind: direct naked awareness." p. 111 "When you realize that all the thoughts that occur are the natural energy of the state of the unimpeded condition of awareness, you can remain free of accepting and rejecting." p. 117 "When we speak to other people with an intention or an identification in our mind as to who they are or what they should be doing, that essentially closes the frame of the possibilities of what they can become." p. 143 |
