Dzogchen Essentials makes available the methods to meet and utilize this rich spiritual path. <p/>Marcia Binder Schmidt, a long time, close attendant to one of the foremost Dzogchen Masters of the last century, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, has put together the most comprehensive and accessible collection of the essential instructions vital to this subject. She has organized them into a handbook for the genuine trainee of this tradition. The book includes a useful preface an introductory teaching by a leading Dzogchen Master as well as classical and original pieces that impart crucial explanations. This is a book for the layperson as well as the scholar. <p/>For centuries, Dzogchen has been a secretly held and privately transmitted teaching, which was unknown beyond the confines of Tibetan culture. But that changed in the final decades of the last century, as many Tibetans saw the long-awaited unfolding of a famous ninth-century prophecy: When the Dark Age is rampant, the Dzogchen teachings will blaze like wildfire.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"For serious meditators wishing to realize Buddhahood through the path of Dzogchen, this great treasure is an invaluable handbook.
