(More customer reviews)I'm impressed with Keith Dowman's translation and interpretation of these sacred texts. Dowman's style is clear, precise, and lively: a real joy to read. He writes with a voice of experience, and with wit. If ever I meet the man, I would like to buy him a cup of coffee and offer him my deepest gratitude.
The Flight of the Garuda is a collection of magic books. They have a unique and specific function. Their origins lie in the minds of Buddhas. Read with joy, read with care, and you'll see what I mean. We hold these truths to be self-evident...
Dzogchen is not new-age nonsense. This is old-age reality, proven again and again over many generations. It's still available. This may be your way in.

Flight of the Garuda conveys the heart advice of one of the most beloved nonsectarian masters of Tibet. Ordained as a Gelug monk, the itinerant yogi Shabkar was renowned for his teachings on Dzogchen, the heart practice of the Nyingma lineage. He wandered the countryside of Tibet and Nepal, turning many minds toward the Dharma through his ability to communicate the essence of the teachings in a poetic and crystal-clear way. Buddhists of all stripes, including practitioners of Zen and Vipassana, will find ample sustenance within the pages of this book, and be thrilled by the lyrical insights conveyed in Shabkar's words. Along with the song by Shabkar, translator Keith Dowman includes several other seminal Dzogchen texts. Dzogchen practice brings us into direct communion with the most subtle nature of our experience, the unity of samsara in nirvana as experienced within our own consciousness. Within the Nyingma school, it is held higher than even the practices of tantra for bringing the meditator face to face with the nature of reality.
