The Heart of Meditation: Discovering Innermost Awareness
A teaching on Dzogchen based on a visionary poem by Patrul Rinpoche, the nineteenth-century master who wrote The Words of My Perfect Teacher. The Dalai Lama explains how to recognise innermost awareness, the mind of clear light, and how to sustain that recognition in meditation, comparing the Nyingma approach with that of other schools.
