Written by a great modern Nyingma master, Dudjom Rinpoche's The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism covers in detail and depth both the fundamental teachings and the history of Tibetan Buddhism's oldest school. This, the first English translation of His Holiness' masterwork, constitutes the most complete work of its type in the West.

An absolute treasure for students of the tradition, it is also an indispensable reference for anyone with an interest in Buddhism. The book includes chronologies and glossaries that elucidate Buddhist doctrine, and it provides fascinating insights into the Buddhist history of Tibet. Two treatises form the present volume, namely the Fundamentals of the Nyingma School and the History of the Nyingma School. Among the most widely read of all His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche's works, these treatises were composed during the years immediately following his arrival in India as a refugee. His intention in writing them was to preserve the precise structure of the Nyingma philosophical view within its own historical and cultural context.

This is the first time this text has been available in a trade edition. Beautifully presented, this single-volume edition represents a truly wonderful gift, and features illustrations in black and white and in color, plus maps, bibliographic information, and useful annotations.

Nectar from a Master

March 1, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

One could not categorise Nyingma School as an ordinary book. It is a translation of teachings and the pure mind retrospective knowledge of the amazing activities of past masters from the eminent Dudjom Rinpoche, one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters of this century and a living Buddha. His incarnation has reappeared. An ordinary person could spend 20+ years digesting this discourse. This particular book, which is a cheaper and more economical printing of a two-book box set, is a chance for anyone to access this superlative material much more easily. Recently, a bookseller in Kathmandu wanted to charge me $USD 500 for the original box set. Years ago, you could buy it for about $200. The price has shot through the sky! So, if you want a collector's item, buy the original box set but if you simply want the wisdom and inspiration, this book will rip your mind apart.

Awesome text, and I love it. This tome isn't easy to cuddle up with but if your looking for a solid text on Nyingma, and lack the ability to read Tibetan, this is the text.
