Dzogchen Practitioner's Daily Manual - by Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This book is an unmistaken source book on how great practitioners of the Dzogchen spent their days and lives.

Dzogchen Practitioner's Daily Manual by Kyabje Tullku Urgyen Rinpoche is compiled with the wish to keep it as simple as possible. What is offered to Dzogchen Yogis and Yoginis is a practice manual. Included herein, are pith instructions, guidelines for training on a daily basis as well as complementary practices for those seeking a more elaborate path. Additionally, there is the support of hidden treasure texts themselves and words of advice from past masters' treatises.

We are all very familiar with the words, "There is nothing to do in Dzogchen." Yes, that is true, if we have arrived at the fruition, but most of us are on the path, which is confusion. To clarify the confusion on the path, to sustain rigpa, we need the past karma, a qualified teacher, and the practices to purify our obscurations and gather the conducive circumstances to recognize the correct view. So, there are 'some things' to do, recognize rigpa, train in it, and gain stability in that correct recognition. Many of these supporting practices are included in this book.

The arrangement is quite straight forward, three sections, first, pith instructions, second, recommended daily practice manual, and third, complementary practices to enhance the simple day-to-day ones. The reader can choose whichever is most suitable for him or her or decide to stick with the daily. Finally, at the end is the Tibetan source material reference for the practitioner to locate the original texts in Tibetan for the needed reading transmissions and empowerments.

Review Quotes

"I think that these teachings are really relevant in the modern times because they go directly to the heart and are deep and profound. Yet, this is so easy and truly impacts our lives.

Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche's method of teaching is really extraordinary and is called the experiential style of teaching. My father always taught this experiential approach, not the scholarly way, always that style. I hope that you all benefit from my father's Dzogchen teachings and that you recognize original purity." - Mingyur Rinpoche

"When I think about Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, on the ultimate level, so to speak, I think of his superior realization of Dzogchen and all the immeasurable benefit he has brought about through his realization for the sake and welfare for all sentient beings. We can't help but think of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche in only in the most exalted terms. He truly, fully realized Dzogchen, and thereby brought about the greatest imaginable benefit for beings, on all levels." - Tenga Rinpoche
