Book Description
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.
