Paying tribute to the uniqueness of Dzogchen, His Holiness sets it within the wider spectrum of Tibetan Buddhism as a whole. He explains the essence of Dzogchen practice and addresses questions such as why Dzogchen is called 'the pinnacle of all vehicles', what are its special features, and what are the crucial principles of the other Buddhist paths which a Dzogchen practitioner should know. This is a book of uncommon richness, and a remarkable testimony to His Holiness' learning, insight and many-sided genius.
"His Holiness the Dalai Lama brings to his explanation of Dzogchen a perspective and breadth which are unique. To receive such teachings from His Holiness is, I feel, something quite extraordinary."-- Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
"For our time, His Holiness the Dalai Lama embodies the completely pure essence of the Buddha's wisdom and limitless compassion for all beings.

Students are fortunate to have access to this collection of rare teachings--the most direct teachings available on mind's true nature--and, through them, to meet such an extraordinary teacher."-- The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
