<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The first in a three-volume set presents the revelations of Dudjom Lingpa, a highly influential mystic of 19th century Tibet. It is translated by B. Alan Wallace, widely respected for his lucid and readable translations of Tibetan Buddhism. Dudjom Lingpa (1835-1904) was one of the foremost tantric masters of his time. This new series includes his five visionary teachings on the Great Perfection (Dzogchen), the pinnacle of practice in Tibet's oldest Buddhist school, along with three essential commentaries. Volume 1 contains four works explaining the view and practice of the Great Perfection, the signature style of meditation of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism: The Sharp Vajra of Conscious Awareness Tantra: This work is considered the root distillation of Dudjom Lingpa's wisdom. Essence of Clear Meaning: This definitive commentary, which unpacks the quintessential verses of The Sharp Vajra, is based on Dudjom Lingpa's oral teachings recorded by his disciple Pema Tashi. The Foolish Dharma of an Idiot Clothed in Mud and Feathers: Dudjom Lingpa narrates the essential Dharma teachings from the perspective of an old man rejecting superficial appearances. The Enlightened View of Samantabhadra: A masterful exposition of the Great Perfection is revealed as a dialogue between wisdom beings who bestow a treasury of pith instructions and specific advice for practitioners. While the teachings in this series have inspired generations of Tibetans, only one of the eight texts has been published in translation--until now"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The revelations of Düdjom Lingpa, a highly influential mystic of 19th century Tibet, translated by B. Alan Wallace. </b> <p/>The practice of Dzogchen, the Great Perfection, is the pinnacle of the nine vehicles of practice taught in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. The highly influential mystic Düdjom Lingpa (1835-1904) and his disciple Sera Khandro (1892-1940), the most prolific female writer in Tibetan history, here illuminate the methods to discover our own primordial purity and abide in uncontrived awareness. <p/> <i>Buddhahood Without Meditation: </i>This is Düdjom Lingpa's most widely taught visionary text. In it wisdom beings and historical figures in the Great Perfection lineage emphasize the view of cutting through (<i>trekchö</i>) to the original purity of pristine awareness via the four special <i>samayas</i>, or pledges, of the Great Perfection: nonexistence, oneness, uniform pervasiveness, and spontaneous actualization. At each stage of his spiritual progress, Düdjom Lingpa's doubts are dispelled and his realizations enhanced by pithy advice. <p/> <i>The Fine Path to Liberation: </i>Sera Khandro establishes the necessary motivation and conduct for receiving teachings such as <i>Buddhahood Without Meditation</i>. This sublime Dharma is to be seen in the context of the five perfections of the sambhogakaya: the teacher, place, time, disciples, and Dharma are fully perfected and must not be reified as ordinary. <p/> <i>Garland for the Delight of the Fortunate</i>: Sera Khandro fills in the gaps of <i>Buddhahood Without Meditation</i>, explaining the metaphors, and spelling out the implications of the root text's highly condensed verses. This is an essential key for unlocking Düdjom Lingpa's profound wisdom.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dynamic lecturer, progressive scholar, and one of the most prolific writers and translators of Tibetan Buddhism in the West, <b>B.
