New Book by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche Available Soon

The Seven Mirrors of Dzogchen: Teachings and Commentary on an Ancient Dzogchen Text

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's newest book will soon be available in the Ligmincha Bookstore and Tibet Shop! The Seven Mirrors of Dzogchen: Teachings and Commentary on an Ancient Dzogchen Text, comes from teachings that Rinpoche gave during his 2020 summer retreat, which was held completely online and drew more than 600 participants from 43 countries around the world. The book is expected to be available in mid-February, and you can sign up to be notified when it arrives.

The teachings and commentary in this book are based on a profound text on the nature of mind called The Seven Mirrors of Dzogchen by Drenpa Namkha. He was a great Tibetan master in the late seventh/early eighth century from the ancient land of Zhang Zhung, which later became part of Tibet. It is one of the essential texts of dzogchen, the highest teaching in the Tibetan Bon tradition and some Tibetan Buddhist lineages. Dzogchen, known as the "great perfection," points out the nature of one's mind as clear and open, aware, and the source of all positive qualities in life.

With his trademark ability to bring the deep teachings of ancient texts into the modern world and make them relevant and engaging for his students, Tenzin Rinpoche, through commentary and meditations, brings these ancient teachings to life. He shows how the mirrors, which are the reflection of our highest potential, are as applicable today as they were in the past. The book focuses in particular on the first four mirrors of dzogchen: the view, meditation, result and conduct. Exploring these teachings and applying them in our lives can help us open to our true nature.
