The highly influential mystic Düdjom Lingpa (1835-1904) and his disciple Sera Khandro (1892-1940), the most prolific female writer in Tibetan history, here illuminate the methods to discover our own primordial purity and abide in uncontrived awareness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eBuddhahood Without Meditation: \u003c\/i\u003eThis is Düdjom Lingpa's most widely taught visionary text. In it wisdom beings and historical figures in the Great Perfection lineage emphasize the view of cutting through (\u003ci\u003etrekchö\u003c\/i\u003e) to the original purity of pristine awareness via the four special \u003ci\u003esamayas\u003c\/i\u003e, or pledges, of the Great Perfection: nonexistence, oneness, uniform pervasiveness, and spontaneous actualization. At each stage of his spiritual progress, Düdjom Lingpa's doubts are dispelled and his realizations enhanced by pithy advice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Fine Path to Liberation: \u003c\/i\u003eSera Khandro establishes the necessary motivation and conduct for receiving teachings such as \u003ci\u003eBuddhahood Without Meditation\u003c\/i\u003e. This sublime Dharma is to be seen in the context of the five perfections of the sambhogakaya: the teacher, place, time, disciples, and Dharma are fully perfected and must not be reified as ordinary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eGarland for the Delight of the Fortunate\u003c\/i\u003e: Sera Khandro fills in the gaps of \u003ci\u003eBuddhahood Without Meditation\u003c\/i\u003e, explaining the metaphors, and spelling out the implications of the root text's highly condensed verses.
