Aprašymas

According
to the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition,
Dzogchen
is the direct experience of enlightenment. In
Roaring
Silence,

Vajrayana teachers Ngakpa Chögyam and Khandro Déchen walk the
reader through the meditation techniques that "enable us to side-step the
bureaucracy of intellectual processes and experience ourselves
directly"—to discover this direct experience of enlightenment that is the
mind of Dzogchen.

Surprisingly,
the approach is very pragmatic. Offering an investigation of the necessary
steps, the authors begin with how to prepare for the journey: the lama is
essential; as are a sense of humor, inspiration, and determination. They
continue by describing the path of Dzogchen from sitting meditation to the
direct perception of reality.

The
chapters include exercises for sharpening the presence of our awareness, for
simple visualizations, and for investigating how to "remain
uninvolved" with mental activity for a period—with follow-up guidance on
how to view our experiences. Both practical and inspirational, the authors'
exquisitely precise guidance is all presented with the caveat, "be kind to
yourself, don't push yourself beyond your limits."
