Steps to the Great Perfection: The Mind-Training Tradition of the Dzogchen Masters Hardcover – July 26, 2016

Truly a gem for this generation. The book detailes every theme of buddha dharma in a clear manner, and it's so easy to understand but helpful for the novice buddhists. I have read the book as a starting point in studying dharma, and have many other books since then. But if you want to keep only one book, then don't look elsewhere. This is enough to start your meditation journey. Good luck!

Really interesting approach to meditation. The visualizations can be really strong to cultivate compassion and renouciation, for example. I've incorporated this style in tong-len and it's really powerful! The book itself is very simple and not so detailed, but really profound. You need some knowledge in buddhism, and particularly Nyingma Vajrayana, to grasp all it's meaning. But certainly a great addition to your library! Thank you Jigme Lingpa and C. Dahl!

This is not a book to race through. The contemporary author goes carefully through the Dzogchen text, explaining each concept. This is the value of the book. He has a knack for making Jigme Ling's meaning clear to a 21st century English speaker. This is well worth the time of a serious student.

Reminds me of catholic school, lots of hellfire and brimstone for writers that believe on boddhichitta

If your goal is to truly get to the heart of the path the Buddha revealed, this teaching is priceless. It is eminently practical, and difficult to express its benefit.

truly wonderful translation... and a treasure for us to have this now accessible in English. For those interested in mind training / liberation, a must read!!!!

The best work on Dzogchen mind training, apply the steps and change your life!
