In the Tibetan practice of Dzogchen it is taught that we are all Buddhas by nature - infinitely open, luminous, compassionate, wise and free. In Natural Radiance, Lama Surya Das offers a complete daily practice programme for the personal experience of the 'direct path' of Dzogchen. Use the accompanying CD to experience his teaching in the oral tradition as it was originally transmitted, through guided meditations and chants. Join him as your trusted guide to help you awaken to the sky-like nature of mind, known as rigpa, or total and pure presence. Learn to embody the three cornerstones of Dzogchen: view - the clear-sighted appreciation of things just as they are; meditation - the foundation for an ever-deepening, imperturbable openness to our unity with all things; and action - enlightened conduct that benefits all. 128pp, 152mm x 203mm, softback + 77 min CD, 2007
In Letting Go of the Person You Used to Be, Lama Surya Das addresses change and life’s difficulties via Tibetan Buddhism, through reflections, practical exercises and guided meditations.
