Letter from the Editors
Remembering to Rest
Dear Friends,
We are happy to announce the arrival of a new book by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, A-tri Dzogchen: Teachings from the Bon Tradition on Recognizing the Nature of Mind. The book is based on Rinpoche's teachings in Amsterdam over a period of seven years. Originally compiled by the Netherlands sangha in a very limited edition, this precious book of dzogchen teachings by Rinpoche is now revised and edited for a broader audience and available to all. Thank you to our very own Vickie Walter for her dedicated work on this book and to all who helped make the book possible. E MA HO!
In this issue, we include an excerpt from the book on the important dzogchen practice of concentration without an object, and the gift of truly resting. Enjoy!
In addition, we include Rinpoche's advice to students attending the recent A-tri retreat in Crestone, Colorado, reminding us of the value of resting and how vital it is in so many areas of life.
ALSO, please don't miss the new online broadcast December 3 and 4. It's the first in a new series on Indigenous Traditions, hosted by Khandro Tsering Wangmo Khymsar. See all the details below.
