A Clear Mirror

Personal memoirs are not uncommon in Tibetan Buddhism, but A Clear Mirroroffers an unusual variation: three levels of spiritual teachings, conveying outer, inner, and subtle aspects of wisdom, that give readers full access to the rich life of one of Vajrayana Buddhism#x19;s most respected figures. Dudjom Lingpa (1835#x13;1904) was a Tibetan visionary and Great Perfection master, or tert#xF6;n, a revealer of spiritual treasures called termahidden in the Earth and in the minds of disciples. Dujdom Lingpa is renowned for his revelations on #x1C;refining perception#x1D; or Nang Jang,and, through dream yoga, trance, and visions, for transmitting the #x1C;mindstream#x1D; of a number of enlightened spiritual beings, such as Sri Singha, Saraha, Vajradhara, and Manjushri, whose wisdom he received and shares in this book. A Clear Mirrorreveals what high lamas regard as most sacred and intimate: spiritual evolution via the lens of an innermost visionary life. Lingpa recounts each step of his own enlightenment process-from learning how to meditate to the highest tantric practices-as he experienced them. A Clear Mirroris a spiritual adventure that also incorporates everyday meditation advice, designed for the lay reader as well as the more seasoned practitioner, in this evocative original translation.
