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 Vajrayana system of Tibetan Buddhism has many techniques, few
difficulties and is meant for people of higher capabilities.
Because each of us possesses the enlightened essence, when many
people participate in a great accomplishment practice, then many
enlightened essences are gathered together in one place. Hence,
practice will be more effective. If we have recognized and realized
our enlightened essence, then circumstances will be perfect. Even
if we have not, if we participate in the practice and stay within
the environment, there will be great benefit.
The Vajrayana system has many techniques and skillful means for
clearing away the impurities that prevent us from fully realizing
our buddha nature. If we weren't already endowed with this pure
gold, the buddha nature, but instead possessed mere brass, we could
polish and clean as much as possible, but the brass would never
turn into gold. Nevertheless, since we already have a divine
nature, then if we engage in the development, recitation and
completion stage practices, which act like a polish, we can realize
what we actually are.
The Great Accomplishment book offers detailed explanations of these
practices and the underlying theories from which they derive. It
gives hands on advice on the meaning, the application and the
profound results of working together with other practitioners to
accomplish the goal of taming our minds and benefiting others. From
the most esoteric to the subtlest of practical details, these three
masters, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Orgyen Topgyal Rinpoche and Lama
Putsi give a complete guidance manual on this hidden
treasure.
