Description
The Natural Openness and Freedom of the Mind A Treasure Tantra of the Great Perfection by Khangsar Tenpa'i Wangchuk and Deshek Lingpa This volume presents the root text and commentary on the Dzogchen tantra, a verse text on the direct practices to realize the nature of mind within the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. It is a modern commentary on a Dzogchen tantra, covering the practices of trekcho, thogal, and bardo. This tantra is a mind terma, or treasure, of the early modern terton, Deshek Lingpa, and is considered an advanced and secret teaching, typically passed down through transmission from a qualified master. For those interested in the Nyingma tradition, this book offers a clear and concise introduction to its approach to Buddhist cosmology, mind, liberation, and prayer. The commentary provides insight into the approach to enlightenment taught in this tradition, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.
