Sublime Dharma: Quintessential Instructions on the Breakthrough and Direct Crossing-Over Stages of Dzogchen is a compilation of two works composed by two of the greatest Dzogchen masters of Tibetan Buddhism in recent history, Dudjom Lingpa (1835–1904), and his subsequent incarnation, Dudjom Rinpoche (1904–1987). Text One of Sublime Dharma consists of the complete translation of Dudjom Lingpa’s The Foolish Dharma of an Idiot Who Wears Mud and Feathers for Clothing, a mind treasure (Tib. dgongs gter) from his collected works, which presents the view, meditation, and conduct of the breakthrough (Tib. tregchö) phase of Dzogchen practice. Text Two consists of a partial translation of Dudjom Rinpoche’s The Wish-Fulfilling Gem of Siddhis: A Manual on the Two Stages of the Heart Drop of the Profound Path of the Dakinis, from volume Ma of his collected works. This second text includes a concise summary of the breakthrough followed by a complete explanation of the direct crossing-over (Tib. thögal ) phase of Dzogchen practice. Both works are accompanied by the Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche’s oral commentary, which he gave during the summer of 1998, in his home near Half Moon Bay, California. Together, these two works give a complete presentation of the view, meditation, and conduct of the two stages of Dzogchen.

Mountain Dharma: Alchemy of Realization is a presentation of the personal and intimate advice of the late and great Dzogchen Master Dudjom Rinpoche to a group of students bent on meditation retreat. Ever masterful, Dudjom Rinpoche, whose life and work provided a brilliant example of a Tibetan rigzin's full awareness, tells a group of yogis how to use an extended period of seclusion in a mountain hermitage to recognize the nature of mind in the Dzogchen tradition. In this instruction, he is down to earth and eminently practical. But also in a short but seminal exposition of the Dzogchen view, he delivers the nature of mind as if pointing at it in front of us. Dudjom Rinpoche places himself amongst the great masters of the Tibetan language and great yogis of the Dzogchen tradition, along with Longchenpa and Jigme Lingpa, in this classical exposition of Dzogchen. It is important to note that as Keith Dowman mentions in his preface, this brilliant text of Dudjom Rinpoche Jigtral Yeshe Dorje (1904 – 1987) is cast in the mold where Dzogchen is inseparable from the Vajrayana of the Ngajur Nyingma tradition. Here Dzogchen is bound up with Tibetan Buddhism, which carries it and forms a basis for its practice. As an introduction to the text, Keith Dowman adds recollections of his interaction with his Guru as a preface to a eulogy contributed by Sogyal Rinpoche, which adds immeasurably to the background of the text.

The foundations of Vajrayana practice are laid out with eloquence and precision here by one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters of our age. His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche’s commentary on the preliminary practices (ngöndro) is informed by his profound realization and wide-ranging scholarship, and illuminated with an array of quotations from the Vinaya, Sutra, and Tantra traditions. In addition to the commentary on the outer and inner preliminary practices, he provides other invaluable instructions on the correct view, conduct, and activity of a practitioner. Dudjom Rinpoche taught that the realization of the teachings of the Great Perfection depends entirely on the practice of these preliminary practices, thus his compassionate exposition of them here makes this book a particularly precious resource for anyone who seeks to remove the obstacles between themselves and the total freedom of enlightenment.

The text presented here in Tibetan with English translation is the Bountiful Cow of Accomplishments and provides directives for the two phases of the Khandro Thugthig. It covers the entirety of the Vajrayana path, from the generation phase, through the completion phase to the Great Completeness. The Khandro Thugthig is an important cycle of teachings and practices revealed by Dudjom Rinpoche (1904-1987) as a spiritual treasure. Among the three roots of tantric practice, it specially relates to the sky-farer. The directives translated here are most closely associated with Yeshe Tsogyal, the Tibetan princess who became the consort of the great master Padmasambhava and assisted him when in the eighth century he introduced tantric Buddhism to Tibet. But Yeshe Tsogyal is more than a historical figure, for she is a wisdom sky-farer who inspires yogins to realize the ultimate nature of mind. The instructions translated here are both rare and profound. Those sincerely interested in these teachings and who wish to put them into practice may rejoice that such profound keys have been made available to them. For those having a karmic connection with this tradition and this lineage, texts such as these can be a catalyst for spiritual liberation. This text is intended for those who have received the transmission from a qualified master.
