Gyatrul Rinpoche’s Books
Meditation, Transformation and Dream Yoga
Three traditional Nyingma texts selected by Gyatrul Rinpoche because of their relevance to contemporary practitioners who must combine formal spiritual practice with work and sleep. Rinpoche’s commentaries on these teachings are both practical and incisive.
Deity Generation
An invaluable guide for anyone who wishes to understand generation stage practice more fully, this commentary is based upon a well-known root text by the famous Tulku of Kathog, Tsewang Chogdrub, a great scholar who became famous for his explanations of kye rim or generation stage practice. Includes photographs of mudras and tormas.
Spacious Path To Freedom
Practical Instructions on the Union of Mahamudra and Atiyoga by Karma Chagme, a 17th century Tibetan master, with commentary by Gyatrul Rinpoche.
Naked Awareness
In this classic 17th-century presentation of the union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen, Karma Chagme begins with an overview of the spirit of awakening and the nature of actions and their ethical consequences. He then gives exceptionally lucid instructions on the two phases of Dzogchen practice followed by an accessible introduction to the practice of the transference of consciousness at the time of death. The concluding chapters present a detailed analysis of Mahamudra meditation in relation to Dzogchen practice.
Natural Liberation
Padmasambhava’s Teachings on the Six Bardos, rediscovered as a terma or mystical revelation by Karma Lingpa in the 14th century, and accompanied by a lucid commentary by Gyatrul Rinpoche. These are rare teachings on how to utilize each phase of experience, or bardo, as an opportunity for spiritual transformation.
