His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, and a beacon of inspiration for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. He has persistently reached out across religious and political lines and has engaged in dialogue with scientists in his mission to advance peace and understanding in the world. In doing so, he embodies his motto, "My religion is kindness."
"All of us were moved by the depth, relevance, and accessibility of
these teachings; there were those who said that they were among the
most remarkable they had ever heard him give. In a wholly original,
but always authentic, way, His Holiness brought a sense of his own
personal quest, as he explored the whole Buddhist path, and
particularly the pith instructions of the great masters of the
Great Perfection."--Sogyal Rinpoche, from his Foreword
"All who wish to be at ease in the awakened, boundless, sublime
nature of their own minds-- Buddhahood--should cherish/read this
book."--Tulku Thondup Rinpoche, author of The Practice of Dzogchen
and Hidden Teachings of Tibet
"In this book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama draws on his vast
learning and insight to reveal both the meaning of the Great
Perfection and its place within Buddhism as a whole. He also
illuminates the interface between Buddhism and modern science,
highlighting the materialistic assumptions that hinder the
scientific study of consciousness. This beautifully translated book
is a treasure, of great value to all who are interested in
fathoming the secrets and possibilities of the mind."--B. Alan
Wallace, author of The Attention Revolution
"This attractive volume should delight both scholar and
practitioner, and can now take its place as an experientially based
and intellectually solid contribution to the living study and
practice of the Buddhadharma."--Steven D. Goodman, Asian and
Comparative Studies, California Institute of Integral Studies
"This extraordinary and essential book of live oral teachings,
transmitting the sublime View, Meditation, Action & Result of the
direct-access Dzogchen approach to incandescent awareess and the
natural state of spiritual living, provides us with the basis for
meaningful study and meditation practice for years and generations
to come."--Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha
Within
"This is one of the absolutely best and richest books on meditation
practice that I have ever read. Here are finely nuanced Dzogchen
teachings, offered by His Holiness with remarkable precision and
clarity, and with astonishing humility and candor. A precious
resource for anyone who loves the Dharma and is committed to its
embodiment. This book has it all."--Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of
Coming to Our Senses and Vice Chair of the Mind and Life Institute
