New Year – New Book by Yongdzin Rinpoche: The Practice of Equanimous Contemplation
We are delighted to start the New Year 2025 with the publication of a new volume of Yongdzin Rinpoche’s Dzogchen teachings.
Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche gave these teachings on Nyamzhag Gompai Laglen: The Practice of Equanimous Contemplation from the Oral Transmission of Zhang Zhung, in the Shambhala Centre, Paris, in April 1997. The text is contained in the first section of Zhang Zhung Nyengyu, The General Presentation of the Outer Views, and deals with all aspects of Dzogchen practice starting from general Preliminaries, through tregchö and thögal, and ending with instructions on practice at the time of death and in bardo. Rinpoche also added a very special practice of phowa with Tapihritsa which is not in the original text and is not found in any other texts or commentaries but is his own oral instruction. Thus we have here a complete study and practice manual from the current holder of the Single Lineage of Zhang Zhung Nyengyu Dzogchen who is the most illustrious Bönpo master of the 20th-21st centuries.
Next month, the international Bönpo sangha will celebrate Yongdzin Rinpoche’s 100th anniversary, and to mark this auspicious occasion, Carol and I decided to re-edit and re-issue these precious teachings for the new times and new audience to honour his unwaning legacy.
May this book bring benefit to the international Bönpo sangha and all sentient beings!
