This famous seminal text of Radical Dzogchen provides a profound yet simple poetic statement of how it is to immerse oneself in the matrix of the now and recognize buddha.
This is Radical Dzogchen not only in the actual teaching itself, but also in the translation that strikes the flint of idiom to create sparks of wisdom that reveal the whole hologram..
The form of language, the translation, the use of poetic invention creates as atmosphere of understanding, as if a mahasiddha were writing in Oxford English with a touch of American slang.
The pathless path of Dzogchen comes alive in this poetic exposition of the apex of Tibetan mysticism.
With Longchenpa, Dzogchen Ati reaches its most complete revelation; the Choyingdzo is Longchenpa\'s most revealing statement about the vajra-heart, and Keith Dowman has made a fine translation.
In it we are assured that over and above all the yogas and dhyanas of Hindustan, all the ritual and magic of Tibet and all the quasi religious new-age therapies of the West there exists a simple, timeless manner of being, easy of access, requiring no onerous technique or renunciate lifestyle, that can give us some constant satisfaction in this vale of laughter and tears between birth and dying.
Certainly the magic of his poetry impresses us that way and surely this Treasury of the Dharmadhatu, the Choyingdzo, reveals the consummation of Dzogchen.
It is the personal statement of a peerless yogin-adept.
