Synopsis:
This famous seminal text of radical Dzogchen provides a profound yet simple poetic statement of how it is to immerse oneself in the matrix of the now and recognize Buddha. It is the personal statement of a peerless yogin-adept. Certainly the magic of his poetry impresses us that way and surely this Precious Treasury of the Dharmadahatu (Choying Dzo), reveals the consumation of Dzogchen. In it we are assured that over and above all the yogas and dhyanas of Hindustan, all the ritual and magic of Tibet and all the quasi-religious new-age therapies of the West there exists a simple, timeless manner of being, easy of access, requiring no onerous technique or renuncaite lifestyle, that can give us some constant satisfaction in this vale of laughter and tears between birth and dying.
"As one who has grappled with this challenging, inspiriring, wonderful text, I am delighted to see another attempt at conveying the great Longchenpa's definitive exposition on the Dzogchen approach of original purity." Richard Barron.
"With Longchenpa, Dzogchen Ati reaches its most complete revelation: the Choying Dzo is Longchenpa's most lucid and revealing statement of the vajra heart; and Keith Dowman has made a fine translation. The pathless path of Dzogchen comes alive in this poetic exposition of the apex of Tibetan mysticism." Bhakha Tulku Pema Rigdzin.
