Pointing Out the Nature of Mind: Dzogchen Pith Instructions of Aro Yeshe Jungne

by Patrul Rinpoche, Palden Sherab, Tsewang Dongyal

The moment Aro Yeshe Jungne received Dzogchen teachings, he practiced them and became enlightened on the spot. Following his enlightenment, he gave nugget instructions to others, and by practicing them, many people reached enlightenment and some attained the transcendental wisdom rainbow body. His teaching became know as Aro Trigey “Aro’s Great Dzogchen Teachings,” which include the complete pith instructions for each of the nine levels of Dzogchen practitioners. The essence of Aro’s teaching is how to identify the nature of the mind, how to abide in it as a way of life, and how to liberate turbulent thoughts and emotions when they arise. In their commentary, Venerable Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche reignite the legacy of the enlightened master Aro Yeshe Jungne, generously making these authentic lineage teachings available in the West so that they may continually increase and spread as widely as they did in 10th century Tibet. 194 pages.

Very clear and easy to read. The topic is deep but each section is just a page or two, so possible to take in and absorb in one reading.
