Description
About the author
Contents
As the mystical teachings of Dzogchen are becoming more widely taught in the West, those who wish to gain further insight into these clear and powerful practices will find
Flight of the Garuda
to be essential.
The book conveys the heart advice of one of the most beloved masters of Tibet. The itinerant yogi Shabkar communicates the essence of the Dzogchen teachings through songs both poetic and poignant.
Along with Shabkar's songs, Keith Dowman has translated four other seminal Dzogchen texts, including one by Patrul Rinpoche that is new to this edition. Dzogchen practice brings us into direct communion with the most subtle nature of experience, the unity of samsara and nirvana as experienced within our own consciousness, bringing the meditator face to face with the nature of reality. Buddhists of all stripes, including practitioners of Zen and Vipassana, will find ample sustenance in these lyrical explications of the Dzogchen view.
Flight of the Garuda, Keith Dowman, Wisdom Publications, Paperback, 218 pages, $16.95
Keith Dowman has spent 30 years traveling widely in India and Nepal and is an initiate of the Nyingmapa school of Tibetan Buddhism. He is the author of The Divine Madman and Power Places of Kathmandu.
