Several passages in The Flight of the Garuda are well worth reading for anyone looking to integrate Dzogchen into their meditation or everyday life. However, they are hidden in obscure history and obscurer language. As a historical document, this book is probably great. But for people who don't care to learn about the guru-lamas and dogma behind the wisdom, Alan Watts lectures are probably more accessible to become familiar with the attitudes of Dzogchen, and guided meditations by Joseph Goldste Several passages in The Flight of the Garuda are well worth reading for anyone looking to integrate Dzogchen into their meditation or everyday life. Oct 05, Fuad Fuad rated it it was amazing. If you want to know about dzogchen, you must read this book. In Flight of the Garuda: Dzogchen Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism book, dzogchen practices clearly explained. Best book about dzogchen I,ve ever read till this time. Sep 18, Bill Gusky rated it it was ok. Way deep into the arcane mythology of specifically Tibetan Buddhism, for which, perhaps sadly for me, I have little patience. Sep 20, Juan Restrepo rated it it was amazing. Una joya de una profundidad nunca antes vista. View 1 comment. I read this book slowly as a poet and meditation practitioner, with some very solid experience in the former and pretty good experiential grounding in the latter. I think it's like a guide book to a place that you can only really understand after you've visited it at least once. So the bits that I have experience with, I read and thought, yes exactly so! And also aha, so that's you I find that place again. The bits I didn't have experience with were sometimes beautiful and sometimes interesting I read this book slowly as a Flight of the Garuda: Dzogchen Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism and meditation practitioner, with some very solid experience in the former and pretty good experiential grounding in the latter. The bits I didn't have experience with were sometimes beautiful and sometimes interesting but often quite opaque. It's hard to review this kind of book, I'm afraid. The commentaries and introductions Flight of the Garuda: Dzogchen Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism very good and provided necessary background. This book was recommended by a Rinpoche as a sort of practice text. However he does not speak english and probably could not rate the translation. It has some well respected base texts in it. I just found the commentary very flowery and overly philosophical, and therefore hard to understand perhaps for many on that basis and creating unnecessary boundaries. I think it would be accessible to more people, and potentially thus Flight of the Garuda: Dzogchen Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, if it was toned down a bit and more 'plain english'. So I wa This book was recommended by a Rinpoche as a sort of practice text. So I was left wondering whether to feel grateful to the translator, or wondering Flight of the Garuda: Dzogchen Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism much ego was involved. The glossary and other recommended texts in the rear were interesting. Nov 10, Brady Owen rated it it was amazing Shelves: buddhism. Amazing introduction to the Dzogchen Tradition. Beautiful language, timeless wisdom, relaxing read. Very esoteric, includes numerous references to unexplained and sometimes hard to believe concepts. Only for the faithful A few interesting outlooks on the self. Written in the Dzogchen tradition which Sam talks about in waking up as the bullseye of philosophy.
