Description
Fathoming the Mind: Inquiry and Insight in Dudjom Lingpa's Vajra Essence by B. Alan Wallace explores the profound teachings of Tibetan Buddhist master Dudjom Lingpa, offering a revolutionary challenge to contemporary beliefs. This companion volume builds upon Wallace's earlier work, Stilling the Mind, and delves deeper into the cultivation of contemplative insight. Wallace presents an extensive commentary on Dudjom Lingpa's Vajra Essence, drawing on his own oral teachings and insights gained from a fascinating dialogue with Samantabhadra, personification of primordial consciousness. The book includes introductory essays and an afterword, which examine the potential implications of these teachings for a new "contemplative revolution." This thought-provoking work has the potential to inspire a fresh perspective on the nature of existence, one that could have far-reaching consequences in our understanding of the world.
