Book Description

August 15, 1995
The Light of Wisdom Vol. I contains the root terma—hidden treasure text—of Padmasambhava, The Gradual Path of the Wisdom Essence and its commentary The Light of Wisdom by Jamgön Kongtrül the Great. Annotations on the commentary Entering the Path of Wisdom spoken by Jamyang Drakpa and recorded by Jokyab Rinpoche are included as well as clarifications from other masters.

Volume I presents in-depth explanations of the Vajrajana Buddhist perspective. It begins with the nature of the ground, the Buddha nature present in all beings, continues with the teachings that are common to all vehicles, and concludes with the Mahayana and the link to Vajrayana.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The root text of Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo, a terma revealed by the great treasure-finder Chokgyur Lingpa, and its commentary by Kongtrül Rinpoche, the great translator in person, form tohether a complete scripture that embodies all the tantras, statements and instructions of the Nyingma School of the early translations, which is most rare to find in the past, present, or future."
- Kyabje Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dzogchen master teaches in understandable terms, June 12, 2002
By 
Chuck Anzalone (Provincetown, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Tulku Urgyen's wrightings on Dzogchen leap from the page and inspire with their straight forward simplicity. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche manages to make "crystal' clear a subject that is sometimes explained by speaking in conrundrums. I would highly reccomend to anyone seeking to experience dzogchen both volumes of tulku Urgyen Rinpoche's As It Is series as well as his book "rainbow painting'. These are the books I keep close by and read again and again.
