As It Is, Volume I: Essential Teachings from the Dzogchen Perspective

” Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche’ s direct oral instructions inspired admiration, delight in practice, and deep trust and confidence in the teachings among those who met him. His words always helped their minds, in the sense that applying even some of his advice reduced disturbing emotions and naturally allowed compassion, love and insight to blossom.”
By: Cho kyi Nyima Rinpoche, “Introductory Teachings”

Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche (1920-1996) was one of the outstanding Tibetan Buddhist teachers of his generation. Forced into exile by the Communist invasion of Tibet, he came to settle in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. Though spending over 25 years in retreat, he not only taught extensively, but also founded numerous monasteries and retreat centers the world over. He is the author of such popular books as “Rainbow Painting” and “As It Is Vols. I & II.”
