The Practice of Dzogchen.......2005-09-10
The first part is very boring, and massive. Written in a style that makes it very very hard to follow the meaning. But, afterwards the book becomes very clear. Definetely a great book on dzogchen once you get past the first parts.
Naturally Liberated Mind, the Great Perfection.......2004-07-06
The excerpt of this book provided on Amazon only has portions from the introductory material by Tulku Thondrup, none of the words of Longchempa are included. The following excerpts are all from chapter 7, the Sems-Nyid Rang-Grol, which is the heart of the volume. I have provided these for those who may be curious as to what this book is really about. My own views on this book are well known (q.v.).
"Phenomenal existences are unborn, of equal nature;
In which the originally liberated appearances and mind prevail evenly without apprehensions;
Concerning that marvelous sovereign, Naturally Liberated Mind,
Listen while I tell you what I have realized.
"All phenomena are primordially pure and enlightened, so it is unborn and unceasing, inconceivable and inexpressable.
In the ultimate sphere purity and impurity are naturally pure and
Phenomena are the great equal perfection, free from conception.
"There is no separate emptiness apart from apparent phenomena.
The notion of their distinctness is a division made by the mind.
"In the mind which has no essence, various things
Arise because of the objective conditions,
Like reflections appearing in a mirror or in the ocean.
The emptiness essence, unceasing nature, and
Variously appearing characteristic, the magical display, is
The dual projection of samsara and nirvana within a single Mind.
"The primordially empty Mind, which has no root,
Is not defiled by the phenomenal appearances of samsara and nirvana.
"The nature of samsara is the essence of the mind,
Which is primordially unborn and enlightened,
So by seeing the Mind, realization of the nature of existence is attained.
"For the Buddhahood which is totally and naturally pure,
Do not search anywhere but in your own mind.
"For people who want enlightenment, the meaning of the unmodified absolute
Is to let the mind be at ease without effort."
Advanced Dzogchen study.......2004-05-31
There are lots of introductory Dzogchen books (as there are for Mahamudra, Kabbalah, etc.). This is NOT one of them. There are also pure scholarly works with a small, fervent readership. This isn't one of those either, though scholars may certainly find it very valuable. The commentator/translator excerpts from many of Longchenpa's (Longchen Rabjam's) various texts which would be virtually impossible to access in English otherwise. Longchenpa is one of, if not THE, greatest Dzogchen masters of all time. Nevertheless, this is not an easy text to read. Furthermore, it is inconsistent in depth & style. However, this is a definitive Dzogchen text--quite advanced, not for the beginner, challenging, and enlightening. It grows with you and re-reading texts in an unfamiliar area can increase understanding and familiarity (the way Jung studied Alchemy). This is a GREAT book, not to be underrated, but not every book is for every one. There is also a new issue of the same text entitled "Buddha Mind." It might be better to read Longchenpa's "Kindly Bent to Ease Us" trilogy before attempting this one. It's a much easier read.
An eye-opening anthology of the writings.......2003-03-10
The Practice Of Dzogchen is an eye-opening anthology of the writings on Dzogpa Chenpo, or Dzogchen, by Longchen Rabjam (1308-1363), a widely renowned adept of the Nyingmapa School of Tibetan Buddhism. Meticulously translated into English by Tulku Thondup, this classic 466-page text cogently explains the nature of the three outer and three inner tantras, presents excerpts from the lives of Dzogpa Chenpo masters, offers paths to meditation, and a great deal more. Simply put, The Practice Of Dzogchen is a "must-have" addition for Tibetan Buddhist reference shelves and a strongly recommended entry for the supplemental reading lists of dedicated students of Tibetan Studies.
Don't give up.......2002-08-11
10-Point Rating: (10.0)
I came to this book with a heavy background in western philosophy, specifically the analytic tradition. Never having studied eastern traditions directly, I had always bought into the marginalizations of eastern thought prevalent in our culture. This book literally slapped me awake. There is not a thinker in the entire history of western philosophy (and that includes all the greats) that can hold a candle to Longchen Rabjam and the tradition he represents. I am not going to lie to you, this book is not easy reading - the system/viewpoint expressed is completely alien to our western outlook. It thus carries with it a set of technical terms (just as our philosophers do - e.g. substance, person, free will) which must be understood prior to a serious reading. For this reason it is best not to breeze through the introductory material which, as in most books on dzogchen, makes up at least half the volume. Another difficulty is that the author (Longchenpa) is assuming familiarity with certain ideas (such as the twelvefold chain of interdependent causation) and so he only treats them in a cursory fashion - bear with it, re-read it, study it, it will eventually come to you.
Book Description
This hands-on guidebook adapts the Dzogchen path for the modern student while adhering to traditional principles. The book is based on the direct, accessible style of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and offers a thorough grounding in how to study, contemplate, and meditate in this rich spiritual environment. Guided by an introductory teaching by Rinpoche, as well as 42 selected teachings from great Dzogchen masters, readers learn to access the pure, clear awareness that lies hidden under the constant flow of anxious thoughts.
Book Description
Dzogchen Essentials offers a collection of teachings which are principally about clarifying confusion, the mistaken ways we normally relate to our perceptions of environment, body, and senses. Rather than continue the habits of insisting on a solid reality, we are given skillful alternatives and practices and the method to integrate them with the view of the Great Perfection.
Dzogchen Essentials is for the dedicated Vajrayana student. Carrying on from The Dzogchen Primer, it contains a wide range of selections upholding the style of the simple meditator, including pieces by Padmasambhava, Tulku Thondup, Dilgo Khyentse, Dudjom, Tulku Urgyen, Sogyal and Chugyam Trungpa, Rinpoches. Additional sources and facilitator's guidelines enrich study groups and nurture the lone practitioner.

Dzogchen Essentials.......2005-03-24
"Dzogchen Essentials" along with its companion version, "Dzogchen Primer: The Path That Clarifies Confusion," are truly essential readings for those interested in progressing along the Buddhist path of spiritual transformation. In essence, these are compendiums of ingeniously selected and elegantly translated works from some of the great Tibetan meditation masters. Readings range from ancient masters such as Padmasambhava up to contemporary masters such as Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and Sogyal Rinpoche. For the first time, these collections offer readers a range of insightful guidance and heart-felt instructions from Tibetan masters of the profound Dzogchen meditation tradition. These books are among the few in English that make available these precious treasures of Tibetan Buddhist spiritual literature -- making them truly essential readings.
A Ruse or Just a Mistitled Work?.......2004-08-10
I received this book today with the hope that it contained primary texts on the practice of Dzogchen. To my misappointment, instead I found a hodge podge of various "tantric" or "vajrayana" materials consisting of ngondro or foundational practices, general information on generation and completion stages, a few randomly placed songs of realization, etc. However, there was little Dzogchen materials. What I did find is that the title "Dzogchen Essentials" meant not texts or materials on "Dzogchen", but materials taken from the "Dzogchen Tradition" meaning the "Nyingma" and related traditions. It appears that Dzogchen which is a profound and serious practice tradition has fallen prey to popular trends or fads. Just like the word "tantra", it is now over used and is in fact being abused to sell or package Tibetan and related materials that have a possible undual flavour or esoteric content beyond conventional or basic Mahayana practices. Too bad, the book's title and pre-reviews held out so much potential for a possibly excellent publication. It appears the editor has done this before in an earlier work called "Dzogchen Primer". In that work there are good materials, but it is certainly not a "primer" on Dzogchen. It has tantra, mahamudra, etc. and just a few Dzogchen oriented materials. I wish authors would not just try to take advantage of the public, especially in the presentation of books of this genre that purport to be authentic treatises on a specific and serious subject area. One side comment -- If you want a book on general overall Vajrayana intructions, its not bad. However, if you want Dzogchen, look else where for books by Namkhai Norbu, John Reynolds, Longchenpa, Jigme Lingpa, Dudjom Rinpoche and others. There are many and they are authentic Dzogchen texts and practice materials, etc.

Beautiful .......2006-09-05
The introduction warns that this book is not intended as a self-help manual. The biography of the author presented before his text indicates that his was a long and arduous path. I cannot say in what way Dzogchen has helped me, if at all, only that it fascinates me.
Book 1 (Preliminary Practices) poses some questions about consciousness that do not seem at all irrational or to depend of superstition or magic. I would expect a Westerner to feel comfortable with such questions even if Western philosophy and religion are unlikely to ask such questions.
Book 2 (The Practice of Trekcho) is a more advanced study of the material begun in Book 1 and might still seem comfortable to a Westerner albeit considerably more difficult to follow than the material in Book 1. The role of a teacher is emphasized increasinly as one moves to Book 2: I suppose one needs the skill to find and identify the right teacher.
Book 3 (The Practice of Togel) seems to be more to the shamanic side of Tibetan Buddhism, involving symbolism that I find hard to follow. It may be that the teachings in Book 1 and 2, which seem more accessible, have for that reason have less lasting impact. Working one's way through interpreting difficult symbolism may be of use.
Book 4 (Phowa and Bardo Practices) describe nearly full-blown shamanic views related to what is going on for us as we approach death.
Appendix 1 gives an eye-witness account of seeing the rainbow body that is supposedly seen when a Dzogchen master dies. So here too the shamanic side of Dzogchen is foremost.
The history of the Bon tradition remains to this date still not well understood. My expectation is that unless you are a scholar working to clarify the Bon tradition, you can treat this book like any other Dzogchen presentation (but with the big plus that this book was written after 1930 and its commentator Lopon Tenzin Namdak may still be alive. The comments are at the bottom of relevant pages and are non-intrusive).
There have been recent Western efforts to reduce or remove the shamanic aspects of Dzogchen, yielding a mindfulness teaching not unlike that of Theravada Buddhism's "choiceless awareness". There have also been Western studies (cf Samuels' "Civilized Shamans") that tackle the constructive value of shamanism to non-Western societies.
The Tibetan text of the book is actually included. Overall this is a book released with enormous care. The covers alone are striking, a blue metallic background with the front cover having a colorful Tibetan painting of deities.
A very nice reading of a classic dzogchen text!.......2005-09-26
I have read the book and its very nice, it gives you precious insights about enlightenment and liberation. The book speaks about the dzogchen way of reaching liberation using the powerful methods of trekcho, togel, and bardo teachings (including phowa practice). One interesting thing I discovered while reading is that you can reach beautiful intuitive insights about liberation. If you don't have a direct transmission from a teacher, this reading can introduce you directly to the enlightenment mandala that resides in your heart! May all sentient beings recognize our preicious state of rig-pa and develope in love for the sake of all creation!!
Excellent.......2004-10-28
Simply put, this book is easy to read, gets to the point and covers the material completely. Highly recommended!
Simply Dzogchen.......2004-10-01
This is a very fine book on Dzogchen whether you are Buddhist or Bon or neither. It's clear, pithy, and lacking much of the dogma found in many other Dzogchen and Mahamudra books available today. It's strongly recommended.
For advanced students of Tibetan Buddhism.......2002-04-12
Written by Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen (a Tibetan monk who lived in the 19th and 20th centuries) and enhanced for a western readership with an informative commentary by Lopon Tenzin Namdak, Heart Drops Of Dharmakaya is a complete Dzogchen meditation manual for the Tibetan religious way that is known as Bon. Written in the direct, personal, and meaningful style of instructor to student, Heart Drops Of Dharmakaya also features a commentary by Lopon Tenzin Namdak, a master of Dzogchen who was responsible for translating this holy work into English. Heart Drops Of Dharmakaya is enthusiastically recommended reading for advanced students of Tibetan Buddhism and its meditation practices.
Book Description
This book is a kind of treasure trove of practical often secret material that every Buddhist practitioner would love to know.

Published magazine articles.......2007-02-12
An updated version of the former "The Teachings of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu" (from "The Mirror" magazine, based on lectures from 1993-7) re-ordered, edited, & end-noted, it briefly describes Yogacharya; Shine, Sutra vs. Tantra, modern vs. ancient Bon, Yantra Yoga, bodhichitta, Mahamudra etc. Per many other Tibetan works, it's a union of legend/myth & reality/practicality--traditional hagiography, metaphors, & assumptions are mixed with high teachings, practices, & views. One needs discriminating wisdom IMHO to separate wheat from chaff. Per Blanchard's "Situational Leadership" there are task skills (specific to a situation or, in this case, culture) & transportable skills (archetypal truths that cut across situations/cultures). IMHO one needs to detach from the former to pursue the latter. However, despite traditional biases, Norbu R. provides extensive wisdom & courageous insight: p. 86: "The various Tantric deities are personified forms of different functions of our own energy, pp. 89-90: "A serious teacher of Dzogchen must understand the experience of a particular student, & then be able to suggest practices according to the way in which that individual is developing, not just give practices according to a set formula regardless of the character, capacity, & progress of each student...When you enter the practice & become a good practitioner, the teacher is found within you," & that Tantra did not come from the physical (Nirmanakaya) Gautama Buddha but from his Samboghakaya. Overall, there are good teachings in this short book, but it is debatable if it's worth the price for a new copy. It's not IMHO up to the level of Norbu R.'s 9 other works I've read, esp. "The Cycle of Day and Night, "The Mirror, & "Supreme Source."

One of my favorite Norbu books.......2004-12-30
Of the 9 Norbu books I've read so far, this is one of the top 3 (the other two are "The Supreme Source" and "The Mirror"). His books tend to be rather short though and are very readable. He is one of the contemporary masters of Dzogchen, the highest teaching in the Nyingma (old translation) tradition of Tibet. This is one of the 4 main contemporary schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He also has a magazine called "The Mirror" that you can subscribe to and gives seminars/teachings around the country (see the Snow Lion Bulletin for announcements). This particular book takes the teachings through a typical day (thus, the title). Dzogchen includes the view that all that we see, hear, etc. is empty of independent being (like the reflection of the moon in a lake). While this is also part of the Prajnaparamita works on Mahayana Buddhism as well (see Conde's translations), Dzogchen takes it farther into the View of the Ground of Being or Dharmakaya and its practice of Trekcho as well as the maintenance, during post-meditation, of spontaneous presence. It is quite profound. Enjoy this book, but read his others as well since this book is not completely comprehensive.
A Direct Way to Enlightenment.......2001-01-04
In this work, Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, an eminent Dzogchen master of modern times, gives a direct way how to practice the Essence of Tibetan Yogic Practice called "Dzogchen" - "the Great Perfection". Please bare in mind that the openness of the teacher's style - with no unclear mystics - is a gift rare to find nowadays. Good luck in your journey to Self-Realization!
Wonderful Treaty on Contemplation - Dzogchen Style.......2000-07-21
Namkhai Norbu is an amazing teacher: clear and precise. In this translation of the Longde Series of Dzogchen Teachings, Garab Dorje (Ancient Dzogchen Big-Wig)shows how to maintain contemplation Day and Night. Wonderful introduction, excellent translation of the Text, amazing commentary to follow; Norbu makes the Evening, Night, and Morning practices simple and easy to understand. This text is a kind of Dream-Yoga/Daily-Yoga cream center. It gives you ways to smooth the edges of your Dzogchen practice. I found it easy to read and informative: a real Boon!
Book Description
In simple and direct language, the Union of Mahamudra & Dzogchen contains Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's teachings on a complete path to enlightenment, based on eight songs by the 17th century yogi and poet Karma Chagmey. As the first book by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, a living master of the Practice Lineage, the Union serves as a forum for his subtle brilliance and humor, the trademark of his teaching style.
Customer Reviews:
Concise and worth reading.......2004-11-05
I'd probably give this 4.5 stars if I could, but plumped for the 5. It's nicely concise though it does reiterate a lot of basic material. It does add some very fine specific comments for more advanced practitioners as well. It is Choknyi Nyima Ripoche's commentary on Karma Chagme's 17th century text of the same title. It does not, I believe, address the entire original text, however. This book is a good follow-up or precursor (as you choose) to Gyatrul Rinpoche's commentary on the same Karma Chagme text, published in 2 volumes as "Naked Awareness" and "A Spacious Path to Freedom." An additional related text, "Natural Liberation" is attributed to the earlier master Padmasambhava. These 3 are translated by B. Alan Wallace and, I believe that, the introductions make the connection between the two original texts. However, even the 3 together are not a complete exposition of the Union. It is unknown if even all 4 texts together completely cover Karma Chagme's original text and its teachings. The present text by Choyni Nyima (and translated by Erik Pema) is far shorter than the others. All 4 of these books are high quality, more advanced than most present texts, and well worth reading. They are among the clearest and pithiest of currently available English translations of Mahamudra and Dzogchen texts and help one to not only understand their relationships, but more importantly to understand the underlying truths within them. They also provide considerable practical guidance for the practitioner. Mahamudra is contended to be the highest teaching within the Kagyu tradition (among the 4 Tibetan Buddhist traditions). Dzogchen is similarly regarded for the Nyingma tradition. Thus, such original works can be said to address the very highest Vajrayana (Tibetan Buddhist) teachings. While their terminologies differ considerably, the main concepts (especially the view and fruit) of the two teachings are extremely similar. Authors frequently flip between the two to communicate explanations to the reader. The Rime movement (supported by such great masters as Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche and Dudjom Rinpoche) emphasized cross-tradition studies between and among the 4 main Tibetan Buddhist schools, and many contemporary masters also include Bon Dzogchen as well. This medieval work can be viewed as a precursor to this ecumenical viewpoint. It is obvious (even in translation) that Karma Chagme was a great, enlightened master. This volume contains a wealth of valuable material and is highly recommended.
What it is...........1999-03-17
This book consists of a text by Karma Chagmey, one of the founders of the Palyul division of the Nyingma school of Vajrayane Buddhism. At first I was put off by it, since it implicitly promises to discourse on the principles of not one, but two, sublime paths, Dzogchen _and_ Mahamudra; then after going through a pretty normal (for Vajrayana texts) progression through the four thoughts that change the mind, etc., becomes a discourse on Guru Yoga with Chenrezig as the Lama. In other words, there is a faint sense of having shown up for the lecture and having to begin at the very beginning and patiently work up to the real juicy parts. This attitude, of course, is one of our major obstacles in the West to really appreciating the "advanced teachings." We want them, but don't want to go through the boring parts. On re-reading the text, however, I found it very charming and down to earth. It made my practice feel more centered by getting me back to basics (refine the details) while keeping the goal (the sublime) in mind. As an overview of all of the essentials of the path, it also helps my Ngondro. Sort of puts things into a kinder, gentler perspective. I now find it a great companion on trips, being relatively thin (for packing and carrying in a camera bag or pack), written in everyday (to the extent this is possible) language and lacking in pretension. Chokyi Nyima's comments are also helpful, and he does occasionally drop in the technical tidbit we all long for. Finally, if you have any Palyul empowerments, it is great to see a book written around the lineage founder's text. It is great to know the founder was kind and had a sense of humor, and especially that he encouraged lay practitioners.

This is a 17th-century presentation of the union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen by Karma Chagme, one of the greatest partiarchs of Tibetan Buddism.

1st part of a definitive text.......2004-11-05
This book is the initial portion of Gyatrul Rinpoche's commentary on a portion of Karma Chagme's 17th century text, "The Union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen." The 2nd volume is called, "A Spacious Path to Freedom." A related text (all 3 are translated by B. Alan Wallace) is entitled, "Natural Liberation" and is attributed to Padmasambhava. However, even the 3 together do not completely communicate the original text. Chokyi Rinpoche also wrote a small commentary on the original text entitled: "The Union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen." All 4 of these books are well worth reading. They are among the clearest and pithiest of currently available English translations of Mahamudra and Dzogchen texts and help one to not only understand their relationships, but more importantly to understand the underlying truths within them. Mahamudra is contended to be the highest teaching within the Kagyu tradition (among the 4 Tibetan Buddhist traditions). Dzogchen is similarly regarded for the Nyingma tradition. Thus, the original work can be said to address the very highest Vajrayana (Tibetan Buddhist) teachings. It is obvious (even in translation) that Karma Chagme was a great, enlightened master. This may very well be the best of the 4 volumes cited above. It contains a wealth of material including Trekcho and Togal--the 2 primary Dzogchen practices. It is highly recommended.
An important, insightful contribution to Buddhist Studies........2000-06-04
Karma Chagme's Naked Awareness reviews the spiritual beliefs of Mahamudra and Dzogchen, considering the two phases of Dzoghchen practice and perspectives on consciousness and philosophy.
Book Description
From Wisdom's acclaimed Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism series, researcher and scholar Sam van Schaik introduces the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, looking closely at its practice of Dzogchen—and one of Dzogchen's seminal figures, Jigme Lingpa—to make an extensive analysis of a core tension within Buddhism: does enlightenment develop gradually, or does it come all at once?

Fine analysis; great translations of Lingpa's Termas/works.......2005-02-23
This is a wonderful (fairly advanced) book, on Dzogchen with considerable material on Mahamudra woven in (see below). It addresses Jigme Lingpa's "Longchen Nyingtig" cycle of Termas (Treasure Texts) including discovered texts, texts resulting from "pure visions" of 14th century Dzogchen master Longchenpa while Jigme Lingpa (18th century) was in retreat, and supporting texts authored by Jigme Lingpa. All but one of these texts has been included in both English and Tibetan. Van Schaik's introductory material focuses upon certain main themes: simultaneous vs. gradual approaches to Dzogchen (the Treasure Texts focus mostly on the former and the Supporting Texts mainly on the latter), the relationship of Jigme Lingpa to his contemporaries and with Vajrayana (Tibetan Buddhism) vs. Dzogchen vs. Mahamudra. His emphasis on gradualist approaches is explained as a practical approach and he attempts to reconcile the two. I don't think Lingpa totally succeeds in this, however. By taking a gradualist approach, he incorporates much basic Vajrayana material (including extensive preliminary practices) which are, at least on the surface, antithetical to the Dzogchen view (being dualistic, for example). He also uses the Mahamudra 12 stage descriptive process and provides parallels with other systems (e.g. the Prajnaparamita or Perfection of Wisdom sutras). The dichotomy between simultaneous and gradual parallels that between immanence (Buddha nature) & distinction (transcendence)-a situation not unlike that of the theistic Western religions. While Jigme Lingpa relies considerably upon his discarnate master Longchenpa (many quotes are provided), his emphasis upon Vajrayana practices goes way beyond, IMHO, that of Longchenpa (Longchen Rabjam)-as discussed by van Schaik.
Van Schaik has done us a great service in providing translations of these texts. The Termas include discussions of the mind vs. mind itself, wisdom/gnosis vs. emptiness (not the same), and use of symbols (p. 137: "the host of male and female bodhisattvas who are the pure senses, sense objects, and times"). The pure visions somewhat parallel the Termas (p. 168: "The original general ground is a state like the sky; the ground's manifestation, gnosis, is like clouds dispersing in the sky"). The supporting texts include a number of wonderful quotes for my collection such as:
pp. 209-10: "having distinguished between reflexive awareness (which is all-penetrating primordial wisdom) and mind (which is nescient conceptualization and delusive forms), you should maintain freedom from limits in the state of the vast spacious expanse of gnosis, without following after it. Through this, the imprints of the conceptual mind are purified, and errors and straying are cut off."
p. 236: "The agent of the recognition of thoughts and emotions should be put to one side without giving him any importance like the unconcerned disinterest of an old man watching a child at play."
p. 237: "Appearances, emptiness, and union are just words, names, and terms."
p. 238: "Even this Vajra song is like the play of optical illusions."
In summary, this is a book for the serious Dzogchen student to keep as reference.
