Publisher's Summary

With his book Awakening the Buddha Within, Lama Surya Das emerged as a leading figure in American Buddhism. Now, with Natural Perfection, Surya Das introduces us to Tibet's most closely guarded enlightenment tradition - dzogchen, "The Natural Great Perfection." The Buddhist masters of Tibet believed that dzogchen was destined to become the single most powerful spiritual vehicle in the West. Why? "Because dzogchen takes the struggle out of meditation," he explains. In 6 profound and energizing sessions, Surya Das guides you through each step of dzogchen practice, where you learn rigpa "natural awareness" practice; sky-gazing meditations; prayers and chants to open your heart and mind; and much more. Finally, here is a way for you to discover, side by side with this beloved American lama, the great awakened state that you already possess within - your own Natural Perfection.

Not a deep or serious book...

I was looking for a serious, educational book on the topic of Dzogchen when I came upon this. This is not that. First of all -- it's not a book; it seems to be clipped from a radio show. I wish Audible would not allow this, or at least put it in a separate category. That alone would be forgivable, I suppose, but it also fails to be very educational... and does not go very deep on the subject, with the author relying on the same analogy again and again. The 'meditations' are very prosy, and read in his thick New York accent. It just doesn't really work for me overall... and not what I am after in a book on this subject.
