Buddhist
tradition. He has been teaching students from around the world
since 1990.
"Being carefree, you can fit in anywhere. If you're not carefree
you keep
on bumping up against things. Your life becomes so narrow, so
tight; it
gets very claustrophobic. Carefree means being wide open from
within,
not constricted. Carefree doesn't mean careless. It is not that you
don't
care about others, not that you don't have compassion or are
unfriendly.
Carefree is being really simple, from the inside. Dignity is not
conceit
but rather what shines forth from this carefree confidence."
--Tsoknyi Rinpoche
Tsoknyi Rinpoche's teaching style embodies a vividness that is a
play
between himself and his audience. His immediateness includes
gestures
and examples that entice us to understanding. Through guided
meditations
he offers direct participation as a delightful enhancement to
our
practice. Simple, straightforward and profound, Carefree Dignity is
a
book that captivates our intellect while enriching our awareness.
For practitioners on the paths of Dzogchen and Mahamudra, one of
the greatest joys is to personally receive oral instructions from a
realized teacher. The excitement of being able to train based on
that advice is further enhanced by the stimulation and support that
guidance manuals provide. All of the selections presented in
Perfect Clarity offer incredible teachings that are inspiring and
vital. Pith instructions are so simple and direct that we can
easily apply them without fear of mistakes.
These days, the most effective style of teaching is not lengthy
scholarly explanations but rather direct guidance manuals The
Dzogchen tantras themselves were written in a style that shrouds
and conceals the meaning so that only a master who is extremely
well-versed in oral instructions and treatises is able to clarify
the meaning. On the other hand, based upon oral instructions a
guidance manual is a short, comprehensive teaching written in a
clear and simple manner. Such summaries of the Mahamudra and
Dzogchen teachings contain all the teachings that a worthy
practitioner requires to reach the state of primordial
enlightenment in this very life.
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
The amazing collection in Perfect Clarity is rounded out by an
introduction by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, a preface by Marcia Dechen
Wangmo, biographical data of the authors, a glossary, line drawings
and photos and Tibetan source material references.

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.
"Some people have the habit of thinking that something is bound to
happen after practicing meditation a while -- like going through
school -- that after ten or fifteen years you end up with a degree.
That's the idea in the back of people's minds: "I can make it
happen I can do enlight¬enment " Not in this case, though. You
cannot make enlightenment, because enlightenment is unconstructed.
Realizing the awakened state is a matter of being diligent in
allowing nondual awareness to regain its natural stability. It is
difficult to reach enlightenment without such dili¬gence, without
undertaking any hardship."
---Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
"Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche is someone who has lived at length in
mountain hermitages, spent many years in retreat, and done a
considerable amount of meditation training. For this reason, he
gives the very quintessence of the sacred Dharma spoken by our
compassionate Buddha Shakyamuni. He speaks from experience,
expressing what he himself has undergone, instructing us in the way
we should practice in a complete and unmistaken manner. These
teachings, saturated with direct, pithy instruction, are unique."
---Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche
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.
Treasures from Juniper Ridge combines meditation and pith
practice
instructions in a way that is easy to apply and comprehend. It is a
compilation
of discovered teachings, termas, by the greatest master of
Vajrayana
Buddhism, Padmasambhava, hidden by his female disciple, Yeshe
Tsogyal.
Treasures is replete with pieces that are direct, profound, fresh,
and pertinent
to our times.
These various revelations are for all levels of practitioners. They
provide indepth explanations of assorted aspects of practice,
including: deity, death
and dying, non-conceptual meditation and recognizing mind nature.
The
book outlines ways to apply these teachings for the modern student,
while
remaining true to traditional principles.
"Padmasambhava's pith instructions are extremely important because
he
is not just a legendary figure or an ancient myth. He is an actual
person
who continuously carries out spontaneous activities, including
manifesting
as treasure revealers, so that there is always a fresh, unimpaired
teaching
that people can practice. This also ensures that Padmasambhava's
spiritual
influence and blessings are unceasing.
The special quality of these terma teachings is that they provide a
method
for accomplishment that is appropriate for each specific
generation, period
of time, and individual person who meets them. The treasure
teachings
he gave on the Juniper Ridge of Crystal Pearls contain the
essential meaning
of hundreds of such instructions."
--Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
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.
With unsurpassed honesty and humility, the highly influential
meditation master Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche offers a glimpse into the
remarkable reality of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as an in depth
portrait of the lost culture of old Tibet. This grand narrative
stretches across generations, providing an inspiring glimpse into a
realm of remarkable human achievement quite different from our
familiar, mundane world. Intimate in tone, these personal memoirs
recount the influences and experiences that shaped one of the great
spiritual teachers of our time. "Blazing Splendor" is of both
spiritual and historical importance.
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
to everyone that he was unlike anyone else when it came to pointing
out the nature of mind, and making sure that people both recognized
it and had some actual experience.
--Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche was an incredible master, both learned and
ac¬complished. The great masters of this time -- the 16th Karmapa,
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.
--Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche
The difference between buddhas and sentient beings is that sentient
beings are busy fabricating. Our self-existing wakefulness is being
altered and contrived and as long as it continues to be so, that
long we will wander in samsara. Instead, we need to recognize the
nature of mind. Here I am explaining this to give you the idea, of
how it is. The next step is for you to experience; intellectual
understanding is not enough. You need to actually taste it and
realize it. Train till it becomes uninterrupted.
--Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
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."
Padmasambhava
Padmasambhava is the primary master of Vajrayana, the teachings for
our time. Out of his great compassion and wisdom, he instructed his
main disciple Yeshe Tsogyal to conceal terma treasures to be
revealed at the destined time for future practitioners. The
profundity of this advice is meant to be personally applied by all
individuals in all circumstances. It is a classic work, which
contains valid truth for anyone who sincerely wants to follow a
spiritual path.
"The chief compiler of Padmasambhava's teachings was Yeshe Tsogyal,
an emanation of a female Buddha. There may be some people who
believe that only men can attain enlightenment, but her life is
proof to the opposite. The awakened state of mind is neither male
or female."
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, from Introductory Teachings
Vajra Speech, by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, renowned for his
extra-ordinary experience and realization, is a wide ranging
collection of pith instructions for the Dzogchen yogi. This
Tibetan
master's advice reduces negative emotions and naturally
enables loving kindness, compassion and wisdom to flourish.
"A swan can separate water and milk when drinking. The
yogi should be like the swan in sepa rating the milk of
original
wakefulness from the water of ignorance."
--Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
"Compared to many years studying books and going through
analytical meditation, we found it more beneficial to ask
questions
of Tulku Urgyen and listen to his answers."
--Orgyen Topgyal Rinpoche
