The teachings presented in As It Is, Volume I are primarily selected from talks given by the Dzogchen master, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, in 1994 and 1995, during the last two years of his life. The unambiguous Buddhist perception of reality is transmitted in profound, simple language by one of the foremost masters in the Tibetan tradition. Dzogchen is to take the final result, the state of enlightenment itself, as path. This is the style of simply picking the ripened fruit or the fully bloomed flowers. Tulku Urgyen's way of communicating this wisdom was to awaken the individual to their potential and reveal the methods to acknowledge and stabilize that prospective. His distinctive teaching style was widely known for its unique directness in introducing students to the nature of mind in a way that allowed immediate experience. This book offers the direct oral instructions of a master who inspired admiration, delight in practice, and deep trust and confidence in the Buddhist way.
Rainbow Painting is saturated with direct, pithy instruction, the
very quintessence of the Buddhist Spiritual approach. Tulku Urgyen
Rinpoche speaks from experience, expressing what he himself has
undergone, instructing us in the way we should train in a complete
and unmistaken manner. We come to understand that to become
enlightened we must experience what was always present within us.
The ultimate object of realization, the natural state of mind,
unmistakenly and exactly as it is, need not be sought for elsewhere
but is present within ourselves. Stability in this unexcelled state
of unity is not attained independently of means, proper conduct and
knowledge of the view. We should unite view and conduct; and this
book contains the key points for doing just that. The ultimate object of realization, the natural state of mind,
unmistakenly and exactly as it is, need not be sought elsewhere
than in ourselves. We become enlightened through experiencing what
is always innately present. Stability in this unexcelled
unawareness is attained when view, the knowledge aspect and
conduct, the means are integrated. In Rainbow Painting, Tulku
Urgyen Rinpoche presents the practices to accomplish this
unity.

How often do you hear the story of a man who was immaculately born
from within a lotus flower with a thousand petals, in the middle of
a lake, having been sent as a meteor from the heart of the Boudha
of Boundless light? Lotus-Born is the fabulous story of the mystic,
master scholar, and outrageous yogi, Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born,
who grew up an adopted prince, was banished, burned at the stake in
a neighboring kingdom, and continued miraculously unscathed,
wandering through cemeteries, dancing on corpses, and proceeded to
live more than five hundred years. He is regarded by the most sane
Tibetans as a real, historical figure, the founder of Buddhism in
Tibet where he subjugated demons and taught the Buddha's teachings.
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche exactly defines deity practice from the Dzogchen perspective, offering key points on how to engage in this discipline as a pure Dzogchen yogi. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche was one of the greatest Dzogchen Masters of the last century. His teaching style was direct, simple, and powerful, a comfortable ambiance created by his compassionate humility that opened one up to being able to absorb his profound words. He was fearless in teaching the view, meditation, and conduct of the Great Perfection, due to the strength of his realization. Although Dzogchen Deity Practice uses the peaceful and wrathful practice as its basis, the efficacy of these teachings on development and completion stage practices apply to many other sadhanas as well. It is a hands on guide to engaging in the skillful methods of Vajrayana that prepare us for this life's experiences as well as what will unfold when we die and are in the intermediate state or the Bardo. The beautiful poetry offered expresses a reality beyond our mundane everyday life and helps our minds to be open and aware.

The collection of teachings presented in As It Is, Volume II, is selected from talks given by the Tibetan meditation master, Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche between 1994 and 1995. The emphasis in Volume I was on the development stage practice and in Volume II primarily on the completion stage. However, to make such divisions is merely for the convenience of the editors. In the reality of Rinpoche's teaching method, no such separations exist. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche was someone with extra¬ordinary experience
and realization, a fact known throughout the world. It is evident

Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche -- all venerated
him as one of their root gurus and a jewel in their crown
or¬nament. He was someone who achieved the final realization of the
Great Perfection.

The Gateway to Knowledge is a condensation
Wellsprings of the Great Perfection presents the primary sources
explaining how the Dzogchen teachings came into this world, who
received them and through whom they passed. It is an impressive
collection of original translations from a vast number of classical
Tibetan documents, including songs of realization by the early

Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche spent many years in retreat, assimilating the teachings within his experience. He spoke with humor and true understanding, expressing plainly and simply what he himself had undergone. Consequently, his teachings are uniquely accessible, with a powerfully beneficial impact on those who hear or read his words. This book, a selection of his oral and written teachings, spells out the essential points of spiritual practice and leads readers along the same path they would follow in the presence of a master. Through direct, pithy instructions, students are encouraged to question the master repeatedly, while at the same time processing their own experiences. Representing the heart of Rinpoche's teachings, "Repeating the Words of the Buddha" shows that the enlightened essence is present within the mind of any sentient being, and that it can be recognized by all who seek it.
" Don't mistake mere words to be the meaning of the teachings.
Mingle the practice with your own being and attain liberation from
samsara right now."
Crystal Clear, by the learned and realized Tibetan Master Thrangu Rinpoche, is a companion volume to the classic medi¬tation manual--Clarifying the Natural State. In his straightfor¬ward and lucid style Rinpoche gives us an indis¬pen¬sable guidebook for insight practice (vipashyana). For people who want more than just theory, this is a handbook that begins with watch¬ing the breath and leads practitioners through stages of realization, all the way to complete enlightenment. "In Mahamudra, as one takes the path of direct percep¬tion, a
per¬son can obtain true and complete enlightenment within the same
body and lifetime. Whatever the situation, Mahamudra provides
appropriate methods and techniques. So, whether one is able to
undertake a lot of hardship or not, whether one is very diligent or
not, whichever type of person you might be there is always great
benefit in practic¬ing Mahamudra. The practice can be done in the
solitude of retreat or while involved in the daily complexities of
mod¬ern life. Mahamudra training is always applicable in any
situation, at any moment of life."
Padmasambhava, the Indian mystic and tantric Buddhist master, is second only to Buddha Shakyamuni as the most famous personage in the Tibetan tradition of Buddhism. In the ninth century, he made the journey across the Himalayan Mountains to establish Buddhism for the people in that country. Now, more than 1,000 years later, we are able to hear and be touched by his voice as contained within this collection of oral advice. The selections in Dakini Teachings are timely advice - short, direct instructions relating to the three levels of Buddhist practice: Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. The main emphasis of Padmasambhava's teaching is that spiritual knowledge must be personalized and not remain as mere theory. The book includes an introductory discourse by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and a short biography of Padmasambhava by Jamgon Kongtrul the First.
Vajrayana Buddhism differs from other branches of Buddhism in
providing an accelerated path to enlightenment based on Dzogchen
principles. The word "dzogchen, "translated variously as Great
Perfection and Great Completeness, conveys the idea that our nature
as intrinsic awareness has many qualities that make it "perfect":
indestructibility, incorruptible purity, non-discriminating
openness, flawless clarity, profound simplicity, all-pervading
presence, and attitude of equality toward all beings. The path to
connecting to these qualities was once secretly held and privately
transmitted; "The Great Gate: A Guidebook to the Guru's Heart
Practice "makes the Vajrayana path and techniques available to
contemporary seekers.
This book main idea is that intrinsic to the heart, mind and spirit
in every human being is an identical essence which can be realized.
This realization makes any man or woman a Buddha. The focus of this
book is the method of how to implement that through a system of
training which is of timeless value, and not bound by cultural
limitations. The timeless truth it conveys is as meaningful for a
Westerner today as it was in India and Tibet.
Fearless Simplicity is about training in the awakened state of
mind, the atmosphere within which all difficulties naturally
dissolve. Here, the gifted Tibetan meditation master and author of
Carefree Dignity, Drubwang Tsoknyi Rinpoche, in his exceptional and
skillful teaching style, guides us through the methods to be at
ease with our surroundings and ourselves. He shows us how to
de¬velop confidence and be in harmony with every situation as the
basis for true compassion and intelligence.
