Did you know...
that no one currently speaks the language that the Buddha spoke? Without translation, what would we know of the Buddha’s teachings?

Yeshe Lama

 

By Vidyadhara Jigmed Lingpa
Translation by Lama Chönam and Sangye Khandro

[Restricted Materials]

Yeshe Lama is the most important practice manual on the Great Perfection teachings of the Nyingma tradition. Jigmed Lingpa stated, “Realization of the pure awareness that transcends the mind is the specialty of the Great Perfection.”

Beginning with the preliminary prerequisites, the entire Great Perfection path is spelled out clearly and succinctly in Yeshe Lama, which is meant to be studied and practiced by qualified practitioners who are committed to completing the prerequisites before entering the path of dzogchen. To even open this book, one must have received empowerment and have been introduced to the nature of the mind by a qualified master.

The teachings and practices taught in Yeshe Lama encompass the innermost cycle of upadesha teachings and clearly define the dzogchen practices of trekchö, cutting through to original purity, and tögal, crossing over with spontaneous presence. These are the swift practices that can lead to the attainment of the rainbow body and the complete attainment of buddhahood, and this is the same path that has been followed by many of the great spiritual adepts of India and Tibet. Consequently, if one studies and trains in the Yeshe Lama correctly and with deepest respect and diligence, the possibility of enlightenment within one lifetime is within reach.

A restricted hardcover book of the root text translation is published and sold by Snow Lion Publications, and a written transcript and audio CD of oral teachings by the eminent Yangthang Tulku Rinpoche [given at Tashi Choling, Ashland, Oregon, January, 2007] are offered by Light of Berotsana to those students who are authorized by empowerment/wang and transmission/lung and/or permission by a qualified lama.
