"Beyond Words" is an introductory compendium on the Dzogchen
teachings written by Judy Allan and Julia Lawless, both long-time
students of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu. Interwoven with poignant quotes
from past and present Dzogchen teachers and commentarial sources,
the authors lucidly present a concise overview of the fundamental
principles of this inexpressibly profound path. The book is a
perceptive distillation of the central points of this extremely
simple, but not easy, teaching, making it accessible to readers
coming from various perspectives, from inquisitive newcomers to
seasoned practitioners. Inspiring anecdotes involving masters of
various traditions make Beyond Words both highly readable and
insightful, a welcome companion on this journey to inner
transformation.
"Aimed at the general reader, "Beyond Words" is a lucid
introduction to the profound teachings of the Great Perfection
(Dzogchen Atiyoga) - the conclusive spiritual practices of the
Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Drawing on quotations from
translated materials and secondary sources, the authors outline the
philosophical, historical and practical perspectives of Dzogchen,
as presented by their mentor Chogyal Namkhai Norbu." Dr Gyurme
Dorje (SOAS), The Centre for Himalayan Studies "Beyond Words is an
exceptionally useful and inspiring digest of Dzogchen (Great
Perfection) teachings and the teachers associated with them. The
ancient prediction that Dzogchen would benefit many during these
degenerate times, makes this comprehensive introduction especially
relevant. The authors have made these profound teachings accessible
and Beyond Words will be useful to both inexperienced and seasoned
readers"
-- Tsultrim Allione, author of "Women of Wisdom"
"An easily readable introduction to the principles of Dzogchen, as
revealed by the renowned contemporary Tibetan master, Chogyal
Namkhai Norbu. The text is enriched with many inspiring anecdotes
of various Buddhist masters, which adds a poetic and experiential
dimension to this book."
Robert Beer, author of "The Encyclopedia of Tibetan Symbols and
Motifs""
