About the Book.....

 

This song of the vision of Cutting Through to the clear light of the

Great

Perfection, which has the potential of leading us quickly through the

stages

and paths, is called "The Flight of the Garuda".

 

It is based on many

scriptural treasures of Dzogchen:

 

"Introduction to Direct Vision of Knowledge"

by Orgyen Rinpoche, Longchenpa's "Seven Treasures" and "Three

Chariots", and

"An Afterword on the Great Perfection: The Three Cycles of Space",

The Vast

Cloud of Profound Truth", "Heartdrop of the Dzogchen Dakini",

and "Buddha in

the Palm of the Hand", all by Longchenpa. The secret instruction of

my Lamas

and my own meditation experience decorate its margins. It is written

by

Tsokdruk Rangdrol for the sake of many devoted disciples. May it cause

boundless advantage to the tradition and to sentient beings.

 

Since these vajra-songs were composed for all those concerned with

liberation,

they should be sung by yogins [and yoginis] when they are focusing

upon

Dzogchen vision. As the Knowledge Bearer Sri Simha said regarding the

purpose

of such songs:

 

"The Buddha's Mind is all-pervasive; sentient beings' Knowledge is

fragmented: to create openness like the sky is of great advantage."

 

So, just as Sri Simha advises, identify Knowledge with the vast space

of the

sky, infinitely increasing its height and depth, and out of this

space, which

embraces all sentient beings, sing these songs to benefit your

meditation on

vision.

 

"Samaya! Sarva mangalam!"

Maintain the commitment! May all beings be happy!
