Buddha Mind: An Anthology of Longchen Rabjam's Writings on Dzogpa Chenpo

This book has two parts. Pan I is an introduction which includes extensive quotations from various sutras, tantras and writings of great Buddhist scholars, notably of the Xyingtna school of Tibet. The introduction is followed by an account of the life of Longchen Rabjam. Pan II has thirteen sections. It is an anthology of translations of Longchen Rabjam’s writings on Dzogpa Chenpo and on sutras and tantras as the basis of Dzogpa Chenpo and the steps leading to it. The translations are preceded by a summary of the thirteen sections. Each section is preceded by a few lines of my own in smaller type to introduce it. At many places in the translations I have added lines to make the meaning clear, and they are printed in smaller type.
