Union of Dzogchen and Bodhichitta A Guide to the Attainment of Wisdom

An illuminating look at key aspects of Tibetan Buddhist practice-of interest to many practitioners-is presented in this practical and interesting book. Through demonstrating the interrelationship of the outer, inner, and secret teachings and a textual analysis of the words of four renowned Dzogchen yogis, it makes clear that the practice of Bodhichitta is a necessary aspect of every practice within Tibetan Buddhism. Unlike other books that present either the teachings of Bodhichitta or the teachings of Dzogchen as their own system of practice, this book presents them not even as complementary practices, but as a deconstructed inner and outer which are fundamentally intertwined.

Anyen Rinpoche, a tulku from Amdo, is a Tibetan master of Dzogchen meditation as well as a seasoned scholar. He has taught extensively in Tibet, China and throughout Southeast Asia, Japan, and North America. He has recently moved to Colorado and lives near Denver.
