The cuckoo of Rigpa - an ancient Dunhuang Manuscript - Book presentation
28 September 2024
In collaboration with Shang Shung Publication
Online and in-person presentation of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu's new book 'The cuckoo of Rigpa - an ancient Dunhuang Manuscript' with Adriano Clemente.
The Cuckoo of Rigpa (Rig pa’i khu byug), or Six Vajra Verses, is known to be one of the first five translations through which the great Tibetan translator Vairocana (eighth century) introduced the Dzogchen scriptures from Oḍḍiyāna. Although its essence is contained in only six lines, it unmistakably expresses the principles of the base, path, and fruit of Dzogchen in their entirety. In the Dunhuang manuscript the six verses are followed by a commentary, possibly the work of Vairocana himself, that explains the meaning of each verse with utmost clarity, including in relation to specific points of the view and practice of the Vajrayāna path of transformation. In this book, the Dunhuang commentary is followed by the Author’s annotational commentary elucidating the most important points. Adriano will also present the text The Preliminaries of the Path of Ati (A ti lam gyi sngon 'gro).
