Book description
Release the complexity of conceptual thinking to rest in the nature of mind with this accessible exploration of essential Dzogchen teachings.
Renowned Buddhist teacher Anam Thubten presents a powerful exploration of the nineteenth-century yogi Dudjom Lingpa’s essential Dzogchen teachings as found in his song of realization. Through clear, accessible language, Anam Thubten reveals traditional Tibetan Buddhist methods for recognizing and resting in our natural state of awareness, according to the Dzogchen, or Great Perfection, tradition. The book seamlessly integrates traditional Buddhist wisdom with contemporary insights. Readers will discover how to work with mental hindrances, cultivate genuine presence, and access the mind’s inherent clarity.
This book provides invaluable tools for awakening to your true nature. Anam Thubten’s teachings guide readers toward meeting life with equanimity and genuine compassion, without getting caught up in temporary experiences meditation can generate. This book serves as an indispensable companion for anyone seeking to transform their relationship with the knots of their own minds to rest in natural clarity and awareness. Includes a link to two guided audio meditations.
Praise for the book
Orgyen Chowang
“Dudjom Lingpa’s songs of meditation experience perfectly epitomize his unique way of expressing the exquisite wisdom of the Dzogchen path. Anam Thubten Rinpoche’s connection with Dudjom Lingpa is profound and pure. He has a startling talent to teach Dzogchen in contemporary colloquial idiom.”
Holly Gayley
“Anam Thubten takes us to the heart of Dzogchen in this commentary on a song of profound meditation instruction by the Tibetan visionary Dudjom Lingpa to the nun Chotsho while in retreat. With everyday language that is fresh and expressive, Anam Thubten invokes the ineffable nature of mind to be discovered in meditation practice.”
