This book is an edited transcript of the discourse given by Kyabje Menri Tridzin Lungtog Tenpai Nyima Rinpoche during his visit to Shenten Dargye Ling Bšnpo centre, France, in 2010. The teachings are based on Athri Bšnpo Dzogchen cycle and contain clear and lucid instructions on approaching Dzogchen, starting from Preliminary Practices right up to the Introduction to the Natural State of Mind, Dzogchen itself.
Kyabje Menri Tridzin RinpocheÕs unique teaching style combines scholastic brilliance and profound personal experience with humour and a knowledge of lifeÕs sometimes harsh realities. This book will be equally useful to all, from those who have just discovered the Yungdrung Bšn tradition to academicians and scholars, students and practitioners.
