Dilgo Khyentse Knihy

Autor (1910-1991) byl jedním z nejvyšších mistrů dzogčhenu v starobylé tibetské tradici Ňingma a zároveň jedním z posledních představitelů generace velkých lamů, kteří své vzdělání a duchovní vyškolení získali ještě v Tibetu. V této knize komentuje rozsáhlou didaktickou báseň věhlasného tibetského mistra meditace Patrul Rinpočheho (1808-1987), významného učitele dzogčhenu a nesektářského hnutí rime. Tato báseň popisuje kompletní buddhistickou cestu, počínaje základní motivací a přípravnou praxí, přes stadia rozvoje, dovršení a nekonceptuální meditaci mahámudry a dzogčhenu až po vrcholnou přímou zkušenost absolutní skutečnosti mimo dosah konceptuální mysl.

Indický jógin a duchovní mistr Padampa Sanggjä přišel do Tibetu poprvé v roce 1091. Pobýval zde deset let, pak dvanáct let cestoval po Číně a poté se navrátil zpět do Země sněhu, kde zůstal až do své smrti. Než v Tingri v roce 1117 zemřel, věnoval tamějšímu lidu jako své poslední učení těchto Sto veršů rad. Krátce nato řekl: "Má mysl splynula se světem jevů." Tím vyjádřil, že z jeho mysli vymizelo veškeré dualistické vnímání. Poté spočinul svým pohledem na nebi a zemřel. Každý z těchto veršů bohatě, velmi jasně a zpříma okomentoval Dilgo Khjence Rinpočhe (1910-1991) a zároveň tak ukázal, že "lidé z Tingri" se nijak neliší od jiných hledačů pravdy. S velkou láskou, ale nekompromisně nám Dilgo Khjence Rinpočhe dává velkolepé učení o tom, jak zacílit své myšlenky k tomu, na čem v životě opravdu záleží, jak se věnovat duchovní praxi celým svým bytím a jak odhalit konečnou přirozenost mysli.

"An illustrated biography of one of the most outstanding Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century. The foremost torchbearer of the ecumenical Rime movement, Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro (1893-1959) dedicated his life to the study, practice, and propagation of all the schools and lineages that are collectively known as Tibetan Buddhism. The staggeringly long lists of all the teachings he received and passed on testify to his abiding appreciation for all aspects of the Dharma, and his list of students reveals how his influence transcended sectarian boundaries. The first half of this volume presents informal stories by many of Chokyi Lodro's teachers, students, friends, and relatives, collected by Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche and translated here into English for the first time. Intimate, funny, and utterly down-to-earth, these stories--supplemented by sixty-one photographs--paint a tender picture of the man behind the great master, introducing readers to the characters and events in his life, and especially the challenges he faced living against the backdrop of the Chinese occupation of Tibet. The second half comprises an English translation of the spiritual biography, or namtar, by Dilgo Khyentse, one of Chokyi Lodro's closest and most brilliant students. In the process of recounting the life and liberation of his beloved guru, Dilgo Khyentse reveals how he saw Chokyi Lodro as the Buddha in the flesh and provides, essentially, a blueprint of the entire path to enlightenment"-- Provided by publisher

Why is the practice guru yoga (union with the nature of the guru) so important? Because with the help of the outer teacher, the inner teacher (the true nature of our own mind) is discovered. This particular guru yoga is called "The Wish-fulfilling Jewel," and it is the outer practice of the guru from the Longchen Nyingtik revelation of Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa. It was during a summer retreat in France in 1984 that Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche gave teachings on this text. This is a new commentary and not a re-edit of teachings in the book The Wish-fulfilling Jewel.
