In The Crystal and the Way of Light, Chogyal Namkhai Norbu examines the spiritual path from the viewpoint of Dzogchen. He discusses the base path and fruit of Dzogchen practice, and describes his education and how he met his principal master who showed him the real meaning of direct introduction to Dzogchen. By interweaving his life story with the teachings, he both sets Dzogchen in its traditional context and reveals its powerful contemporary relevance. The book is richly illustrated with photos of Buddhist masters, meditational deities, and Dzogchen symbols.

Wake Up - Extremely inspirational

May 2, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is a book for those that want to go all the way, and likes the shortest way. Reminds me of gnosticism, mysticism as well as shamanism from other parts of the world. I bought this book after having read 'Dzogchen - The Self-Perfected State' because the author suggested it on a homepage. Norbu explains relatively easily, despite lots of terms has been translated from Tibetan and Sanskrit. In Western terminalogy we could maybe call this psychology or philosophy of mind, but we are taken deeper than we are used to compared to western standards, just my humble opinion. Now I have to go, I am looking for a master.

Great intro to Dzogchen

March 22, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have been a student of philosophy and spirituality for many years. This book is one of my favorites. It is written by a great Tibetan master. He isn't just a great scholar, but one who is definitely an enlightened master in his own right.

Dzogchen is a Tibetan Buddhist path to awakening originating in the Himalayan region many centuries ago. Its essence is Buddhist, but its terminology is different. Namkhai Norbu explains Dzogchen in a very clear and lucid manner. If you are interested in spirituality, psychology, Buddhism, or mysticism, then this book is a must have. Perhaps you will decide to choose Dzogchen as your path. Or at least you will learn something about such a wonderful and profound lineage.

Very readable, enjoyable and good introduction to Dzogchen teachings

October 25, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I recommend this book to anyone looking for an easy-to-read and enjoyable introduction to Dzogchen teachings, or even anyone who enjoys reading about life in a largely pre-modern, but, in its own way, advanced and sophisticated Asian society. A unique auto-biography by a unique Tibetan master.

There is not a single living Dzoghen master/teacher who really impresses me - but the best of the bunch, IMO, is Namkhai Norbu.Read more
