The Marvellous Primordial State.
The Marvellous Primordial State.
The Marvellous Primordial State is what it is, but it is also the title of a book to be published by Shang Shung Publications this summer. It is a translation of a tibetan text done by a group of translators under the supervision of CNN. I found the excerpts from the book so marvellous that I decided a donation to sponsor the book would be a fine thing to do. Info on the book, and the link for sponsoring it can be be found on the Shang Shung Publications homepage.
I have never heard of this text before, and the author is not mentioned, so it would be interesting with some more info.

By understanding everything you perceive from the perspective of the view, you are freed from the constraints of philosophical beliefs.
By understanding that any and all mental activity is meditation, you are freed from arbitrary divisions between formal sessions and postmeditation activity.

grasping the letter of the text and ignoring its intention!

Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldly desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.

Re: The Marvellous Primordial State.
No, only English translation. Basically foreword, preface, introduction, the Mejung Tantra itself, three appendices, notes, bibliography, and key terms in Tibetan and Sanskrit.
Re: The Marvellous Primordial State.
So how marvelous is the book? Any comment?

Bummer. Although on the other hand, it would get more expensive with that included.Norwegian wrote:No, only English translation. Basically foreword, preface, introduction, the Mejung Tantra itself, three appendices, notes, bibliography, and key terms in Tibetan and Sanskrit.
It's not cheap but I don't think it's expensive either, seems about right to me. I actually wouldn't have been surprised if they had made it more expensive.padma norbu wrote:Seems just a wee tad bit expensive, but I guess that explains this...
