Re: Upcoming titles
The blurb for this book says:
This 'tenrim' sounds like 'lamrim' in meaning; but what is really different between the two, if anything is?The “stages of the teachings” or tenrim genre of Tibetan spiritual writing expounds the Mahayana teachings as a graded series of topics, from the practices required at the start of the bodhisattva’s career to the final perfect awakening of buddhahood.

Re: Upcoming titles
Frankly, before you set out to read these Dzogchen texts, it is better you receive Dzogchen transmission from someone qualified. Also, you really do need the lung for these texts, it is best to have that before proceeding.Nicholas Weeks wrote:Magnificent work, just beginning to study it.Nicholas Weeks wrote:Another great set of teachings from Dudjom Lingpa, coming in July 2015:

Re: Upcoming titles
Wallace, the translator addresses this on pp xxix-xxx, saying (as does his lama) that the read 'should' etc, but the 'texts themselves do not require' even the preliminaries. If the danger were that severe, neither Wallace, nor his lama, nor Wisdom pubs. would put the books out in this unrestricted fashion. Beside I do have some of the attitudes his lama wanted a reader to have.Malcolm wrote:Frankly, before you set out to read these Dzogchen texts, it is better you receive Dzogchen transmission from someone qualified.

Re: Upcoming titles
Frankly, Dzogchen is not something one can understand from a book. I am not saying this to put you down, I am saying this so you don't leave your knowledge in a state of intellectual sterility, since I want everyone to be able to wake up through direct knowledge of Dzogchen and Vajrayāna teachings. Anyway, who said anything about peliminaries? But in order to understand Dzogchen you must receive direct introduction.Nicholas Weeks wrote:

Re: Upcoming titles
Granted and understood, but many Dzogchen lamas have written texts, I would expect they should be read. Direct introduction coming later rather than before the reading is not better, but I am not free to leave my sick wife.

You can easily receive direct introduction from Chogyal Namkhai Norbu via webcast. It is sufficient.
All those lamas who wrote books could not have imagined that they would be flying around the world in pdfs or even printed electronically. Anyway, I am glad you have devotion for the books, I am merely suggesting that you make an effort to receive transmission.
I am sorry to hear about your wife.
