Garab Dorje, the first human master of the Dzogchen lineage (7th century CE) was a manifestation of enlightened heart. From Garab Dorje the lineage was transmitted through many Indian masters to Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) who took the Dzogchen teachings to Tibet in the 8th century CE. These talks by The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche are based upon The Three Vital Points of Garab Dorje as presented by Patrul Rinpoche in his commentary The Special Teaching of the Wise and Glorious King. In these talks, Rinpoche presents clear instruction on practices designed to familiarize students with the nature of mind whether resting in meditation, experiencing emotions, or engaging in the activities of post meditation. Five talks. Translation assistance by Tyler Dewar.

Features

MP3CD Recordings
MP3CDs look like ordinary CDs, but contain compressed audio files. While a regular audio CD holds a maximum of only 80 minutes of recorded audio, an identical-looking MP3CD can easily hold the audio files from an entire weekend or even week-long teaching. MP3CDs can be played in a computer and/or the audio files can be downloaded into an iPod or similar device. MP3CDs may also be played on a portable MP3CD player. Most ordinary CD players, such as the CD player in most older cars (roughly 2005 and earlier), will not play MP3CDs. Many but not all cars 2006 or later do have MP3-capable CD players. Any car or home stereo CD player that is capable of playing an MP3CD will have “MP3” or “MP3-WMA” clearly marked on the front of it.
The MP3CDs available for sale on this web site are all clearly labeled and packaged in a clear case. The audio files on them have proper ID3 tag information, which means that on a computer, iPod or similar device the audio files will display (and can be searched by) Album (Title of teaching), Song (Talk number within a teaching) and Artist (Teacher).
