Dzogchen Essentials: The Path that Clarifies Confusion

For centuries, the form of Buddhist meditation known as Dzogchen was a closely held tradition, one virtually unknown outside of Tibet’s monasteries. Now available in an accessible guide, the essential tenets and methods of Dzogchen - as relayed by a master - show readers how to access the pure, clear awareness that sits just beneath a constant flow of anxious thoughts. Helpful for both study and practice, this book is an ideal adjunct to following this rich spiritual path.
