Although the Dzogchen teachings are principally familiar to Westerners through the teachings of the Nyingma school, they also survive in the ancient B n Religion of Tibet. Wonders of the Natural Mind presents Dzogchen as taught in the Zhang Zhung Nyan Gyud, the fundamental B n text. The book summarizes the main points of Dzogchen and its relation to the various systems of B n teaching. In offering these teachings, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche provides the reader with a vivid and engaging portrait of B n culture as he interweaves the teachings with his personal story and reflections on the practice of Dzogchen in the West.
