Description & Participants
The Natural Openness and Freedom of the Mind Book Launch
26 October 2024 · 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time
Lopen Karma Phuntsho will interview translator Stephen Gethin and discuss the new book from Padmakara Translation Group, "The Natural Openness and Freedom of the Mind: A Treasure Tantra of the Great Perfection" by Deshek Lingpa with commentary by Khangsar Tenpa'i Wangchuk.
In September, Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche offered the oral transmission, or lung, for this incredibly clear text of Dzogchen that Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal sealed in the eighth century. The text was rediscovered by an emanation of Yudrak Nyingpo, one of Guru Rinpoche’s twenty-five disciples, Deshek Lingpa (1956-2020), also known as Tulku Lhatsam or Tertön Padma Jigme Dorje who was the abbot of both Dogongma (a branch of Katok monastery) and Dogabma monasteries in Golok.
Shambhala Publications just released a translation of this text, which includes an extensive commentary by Khangsar Tenpa’i Wangchuk, one of the most revered Nyingmapa lamas of the twentieth century whose entire collected works the Padmakara Translation Group is translating. Find the book here on Shambhala's website.
