The Flight of the Garuda: The Dzogchen Tradition of Tibetan Buddhismby Keith Dowman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Flight of the Garuda conveys the heart advice of one of the most beloved nonsectarian masters of Tibet. Ordained as a Gelug monk, the itinerant yogi Shabkar was renowned for his teachings on Dzogchen, the heart practice of the Nyingma lineage. He wandered the countryside of Tibet and Nepal, turning many minds toward the Dharma through his ability to communicate the essence of the teachings in a poetic and crystal-clear way. Buddhists of all stripes, including practitioners of Zen and Vipassana, will find ample sustenance within the pages of this book, and be thrilled by the lyrical insights conveyed in Shabkar's words. Along with the song by Shabkar, translator Keith Dowman includes several other seminal Dzogchen texts. Dzogchen practice brings us into direct communion with the most subtle nature of our experience, the unity of samsara in nirvana as experienced within our own consciousness. Within the Nyingma school, it is held higher than even the practices of tantra for bringing the meditator face to face with the nature of reality. Synopsis:Dzogchen teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Synopsis:The Flight of the Garuda contains five texts, one more than the previous edition, that are essential to a broader understanding of the Dzogchen tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Interest in Dzogchen, considered by some to be the highest but also the most direct path to Buddhahood, has soared in recent years in the West. Although the teachings on this path have been considered hidden or secret in some contexts, they seem to be particularly of value to the Western mind. Keith Dowman has provided the service of making these key texts available and also providing a concise and valuable introduction to Dzogchen.
