The Great Image

Great Book, a classic, if you are a student of Dzogchen this book is a must read.

Access to the Extraordinary

Among those accomplishments illustrating the heights to which we can rise as a species may be found the literature of Ati Yoga (rDzogs chen, The Great Perfection). Ati Yoga is not a belief system; faith is an impediment. Rather, it is an epistemology; its literature a gnostic effulgence illuminating that part of our experience we deem the spiritual. "The Great Image: The Life Story of Vairochana The Translator" is a fluid, brilliant articulation of that innermost knowledge and belongs on the book shelf of any who revel in the history of human achievement.
