Thrangu Rinpoche - Dzogchen View 1/8

Thrangu Rinpoche’s Commentary on Mipham’s Song of the Dzogchen View.
This is a Commentary on one of the great teachings by Mipham’s Song of the Dzogchen View. Dzogchen is the main practice of the Nyingma Lineage in which one looks directly at the mind.
The great scholar and practitioner Ju Mipham (1846-1912) stayed in the previous Thrangu Rinpoche’s monastery for a few years. He has composed many texts on a vast number of Buddhist subjects and was a leading figure of the Rime (non-sectarian) movement. He composed this teaching on Dzogchen the main practice of the Nyingma lineage which was called “The Music of the Lute.”
In this teaching of Thrangu Rinpoche who used an outline by one of his (and also Chogyam Trungpa’s) main gurus, Khenpo Gangshar, to give these 8 talks. These teachings were given at Vajra Vidya Retreat Center in Crestone, Colorado in 2009. They cover the direct examination of the mind with an extremely easy to understand explanation covering what is the pure, non-conceptual nature of mind, how we “look” at the mind without elaboration and fabrication, what techniques are employed by the great masters of Dzogchen, and how does this fit in with other Buddhist paths. These teachings were translated by David Karma Choephel.
