These teachings, from the innermost secret instruction of Dzogchen, constitute a complete path to enlightenment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rinpoché's precious instruction begins with meditations on the common and uncommon preliminary practices, including\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e the difficulty of obtaining a fortunate human birth; the impermanence of life; the implacability of karmic causes and results; samsaric suffering in the six realms; taking refuge; developing bodhichitta; purification by Vajrasattva recitation; and accumulating merits by mandala offerings. \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAfter discussing the ways to turn our mind toward Dharma and the trainings, Rinpoché provides guru yoga instruction as he turns to the main tantric practice: meditations on unifying one's mind with Guru Rinpoché's wisdom mind. This rare teaching by Rinpoche, though intentionally succinct to accommodate the needs of contemporary Western practitioners, presents a complete path to enlightenment. It contrasts three different paths to liberation: Shravakayana (the way of the disciple), Pratyekabuddhayana (the way of the self-enlightened buddha), and Mahayana (the way of the bodhisattva), which is our way, our boundless intention to seek refuge in order to free all sentient beings from samsaric suffering. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyabjé Dodrupchen Rinpoché\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1614296634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614296638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisdom Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Kyabjé Dodrupchen Rinpoché","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994649985279,"sku":"9781614296638","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76467d3d-5d9a-4b0c-990f-245ffeae509f.jpg?v=1683331399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liberation-from-samsara-kyabj-dodrupchen-rinpoch-9781614296638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
