Buddhahood in This Life: The Great Commentary by Vimalamitra

Buddhahood in This LifeÂ is a complete translation of the earliest Tibetan commentary on the Dzogchen secret instructions.

Available for the first time in English,Â Buddhahood in This LifeÂ presents the Great Commentary of Vimalamitraâ€”one of the earliest and most influential texts in the Dzogchen tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It explores the theory and practice of the Great Perfection tradition in detail, shows how Dzogchen meditation relates to the entirety of the Buddhist path, and outlines how we can understand buddhahoodâ€”and even achieve it in our lifetime.

This essential text includes topics such as

Â· Â Â Â how delusion arisesÂ
Â· Â Â Â the pathway of pristine consciousnessÂ
Â· Â Â Â how buddhahood is present in the body
Â· Â Â Â and more.

Translator Malcolm Smith includes an overview, analysisÂ and clarification for all topics. Buddhahood in This LifeÂ covers fine details of DzogchenÂ meditation, including profound â€œsecret instructionsâ€ rarelyÂ discussed in most meditation manuals. This text is essentialÂ for any serious student of the Great Perfection.
