I was reading this book the other day and it suddenly dawned on me how far into the Dzogchen "rabbit hole" I've gone. I doubt many people out there could stand this much talk about the difference between thinking mind and natural mind, or even understand what it is all about, yet there I was on the edge of my seat, reading and re-reading and taking notes! For anyone interested in Dzogchen contemplation and Trekcho, this is a must read. Very conversational, very direct and very easy to comprehend, though the mind does tend to re-obscure itself in thought. Thankfully, the ease of use makes repeat reading a pleasure. The author details method of practice, experience and signs of progress. This is really one of the best guidebooks I've found so far, but it might not make any sense to one who has not received transmission or gained any experience in practice.   hide
