About the author

This first English translation of The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhist is one of the master works of recent Buddhist scholarship. Written by the great Nyingma master, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, the book covers in detail and depth both the fundamental teachings and the history of Tibetan Buddhism's oldest school. In the section on the teachings, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche delineates the entire range of the Buddhist spiritual and philosophical systems. These form a dynamic gradation of experience, from the mundane level of cyclic existence (samsara) to that of the Great Perfection (dzogchen). In the section on the history of the Nyingma School, the reader is given a fascinating account of the religious development of Tibet from the seventh century until the present day. Included are numerous biographies of the major teachers of the lineage. Extensive notes and records of source materials round out a volume that constitutes the most complete work of its kind available in the West.

Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism, Dudjom Rinpoche Jikdrel Yeshe Dorje, translated and edited by Gyurme Dorje and Matthew Kapstein, Wisdom Publications, 485 pages, $90.00.

Dudjom Rinpoche (1904-87) was appointed by HH the Dalai Lama as the supreme head of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He was an enlightened yogin and meditation master, a discovere of concealed treasure teachings (a terton) who was inseparable from Guru Rinpoche [Padmasambhava], the most prolific of contemporary Tibetan scholars, and an incarnate lama who had intentionally emanated for the sake of sentient beings for seventeen successive lives.
