A perfect companion to the well-known Tibetan Book of the Dead.

In life and in death, in meditation and in sleep, every transitional stage of consciousness, or bardo, provides an opportunity to overcome limitations, frustrations, and fears. The profound teachings in this book provide the under- standing and instruction necessary to turn every phase of life into an opportunity for uncontrived, natural liberation.

Like the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Natural Liberation is a terma, a "hidden treasure" attributed to the eighth-century master Padmasambhava. Gyatrul Rinpoche's lucid commentary accompanies the text, illuminating the path of awakening to the point of full enlightenment. Natural Liberation is an essential contribution to the library of both scholars and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.

Invaluable Teachings

July 31, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read other people’s reviews and someone was complaining about the author saying what type of person should read the book. I can understand why someone reading this book could feel that way, but at the same time it is for the good of the readers Gyatrul said such a thing. Not for his own personal gain or opinion. Starting to learn the dharma & then abandoning it can be bad for your future. Don’t let that sway you from reading this book. But, I agree with Gyatrul that you should not read just out of curiosity. Most likely, if you understand at least a good portion of the dharma you will want to continue practicing and bettering yourself for the sake of others. It is more than safe to say that Gyatrul is more than qualified to give and explain these teachings. This book of Padmakara’s teachings has already become an invaluable part of my practice and will no doubt continue to be so.

Highly recommended

This is a very well written and complete teaching from the basics all the way to the most advanced levels with thorough commentary by one of the most highly respected lamas in Tibetan Buddhism today. The author gives permission for those who are sincere to actually implement the teachings as well. This in itself is rare. I highly recommend this book if you are considering implementing such teachings.

Amazing text and one we're lucky to have access to in this day and age. Gyatrul Rinpoche's commentary is clear and full of wisdom. An excellent text for the practitioner of one of the Tibetan lineages of Buddhism and perhaps very inspiring reading for the layman.

Enlightening Text

November 4, 2004

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is a good follow-up to Gyatrul Rinpoche's commentary on portions of Karma Chagme's 17th century text, "The Union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen." The 2 volumes are entitled: "Naked Awareness" and "A Spacious Path to Freedom." All 3 are translated by B. Alan Wallace and, I believe that, the introductions make the connection between the two original texts. "Natural Liberation" and is attributed to the earlier master Padmasambhava. However, even the 3 together are not a complete exposition of the Union. Chokyi Rinpoche also wrote a small commentary on Karma Chagme's text entitled: "The Union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen." All 4 of these books are well worth reading. They are among the clearest and pithiest of currently available English translations of Mahamudra and Dzogchen texts and help one to not only understand their relationships, but more importantly to understand the underlying truths within them. They also provide considerable practical guidance for the practitioner. Mahamudra is contended to be the highest teaching within the Kagyu tradition (among the 4 Tibetan Buddhist traditions). Dzogchen is similarly regarded for the Nyingma tradition. Thus, such original works can be said to address the very highest Vajrayana (Tibetan Buddhist) teachings. It is obvious (even in translation) that both Karma Chagme and (the much celebrated and revered) Padmasambhava were great, enlightened masters. This volume contains a wealth of valuable material and is highly recommended.

What can one say about this great book. The teachings of the Master are detailed and carry the message of transcendence almost on every page. The followers as well as others will learn a great deal from this book, even if you read no other. Powerful, Insightful.

How do you review a Buddhist Master

December 9, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Padmasambhava"s teachings on the Six Bardos is not a publication you review per say. You read it, contemplate it, practice it, reread it, contemplate it, practice it. ... If due this practice under he guidance of a qualified spiritual mentor your practice should be more focused.
