"I know of no more complete, practical, and accessible guide to the
paths of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. One of the most brilliant Tibetan
Buddhist teachers of his generation, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
explains with striking clarity and richness the heart of the
'practice lineage,' as, step by step, he leads us through the
Sutra, Mantra, and Essence Mahamudra, and the nine vehicles that
culminate in the Great Perfection: Dzogpachenpo."—Sogyal Rinpoche,
author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
"Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche is an amazing human being. For seven
lifetimes he has been a recognized master of Mahamudra and Dzogchen
meditation. In this lifetime, he was first in his class at the
Nalanda Institute of Buddhist Philosophy. He has studied modern
psychology and has an intimate understanding of the Western mind,
having lived and taught in Europe and North America for many years.
This book he has written is like a shining lamp that illuminates
the path to realizing your own basic nature. Read it and let it
open you up to the wish-fulfilling jewel of your own true nature of
mind."—Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso, author of The Sun of Wisdom
"A fascinating and daring description of the tantric journey by one
of the very finest contemporary Tibetan teachers. Deeply informed
by impeccable scholarship, this book is a profound and subtle
evocation of the experience of Mahamudra and Dzogchen that modern
people will find clear, inspiring, and compelling."—Reginald A.
Ray, author of Indestructible Truth and Secret of the Vajra World
