| Summary: | Editor's Preface -- Translator's Introduction -- Introduction / by Kyabje Dudrupchen Rinpoche -- The Guru Prayer -- Part 1: Prayers to Buddhas and Lineage and Root Lamas -- Part 2: The Four Common Preliminary Practices -- Part 3: The Four Uncommon Preliminary Practices -- Part 4: The Practice: Merging with Guru Rinpoche -- Part 5: Dedication of Merit and Prayer of Aspiration -- Appendix: Dodrupchen Rinpoche's Talk to Mahasiddha Members -- Notes -- About the Author -- About the Translators. "In Liberation from Samsara, the Fourth Kyabje Dodrupchen Rinpoche presents the Longchen Nyingthik preliminary teachings, with a special focus on guru yoga. These teachings, from the innermost secret instruction of Dzogchen, constitute a complete path to enlightenment. Rinpoche's precious instruction begins with meditations on the common and uncommon preliminary practices, including: the difficulty of obtaining a fortunate human birth, the impermanence of life, the implacability of karmic causes and results, samsaric suffering in the six realms, taking refuge, developing bodhichitta, purification by Vajrasattva recitation, and accumulating merits by mandala offerings. After discussing the ways to turn our mind toward Dharma and the trainings, Rinpoche provides guru yoga instruction as he turns to the main tantric practice: meditations on unifying one's mind with Guru Rinpoche's wisdom mind. This rare teaching by Rinpoche, though intentionally succinct to accommodate the needs of contemporary Western practitioners, presents a complete path to enlightenment. It contrasts three different paths to liberation: Shravakayana (the way of the disciple), Pratyekabuddhayana (the way of the self-enlightened buddha), and Mahāyāna (the way of the bodhisattva), which is our way, our boundless intention to seek refuge in order to free all sentient beings from samsaric suffering"-- |
