Mirror of Light: A Commentary on Yuthok's Ati Yoga Volume One

Mirror of Light brings into the English language for the very first time the great physician and meditation adept Yuthok Yonten Gonpos teachings on Ati Yoga. Ati Yoga (Tib: Dzogchen) literally meaning the utmost yoga is the pinnacle of Buddhist Vajrayana practice. It is the most simple direct and profound path to reveal the primordial wisdom which is ones basic nature. In his remarkably clear and accessible commentary which seamlessly weaves in verses from Yuthoks own root text and quotations from Tibets great masters of meditation Dr Nida Chenagtsang skillfully points us to the sky-like nature of our own mind which is clear vast and unobstructed by the clouds of afflictive emotions. Much more than a theoretical exposition Volume One of Mirror of Light contains precise instruction on Ati Yogas preliminary practices and trekchod (cutting through hardness) -- ancient proven techniques that reveal the present fresh awareness that is free from all confusion and beyond the hardness of dualistic thinking.
