The Upadeśa of Direct Introduction to the State of Ati – Longsal Commentaries VII
The Upadeśa of Introduction to the State of Ati is an extraordinary teaching of the eighth-century Lotsāva Vairocana that presents essential instructions on the four contemplations of Dzogchen Semde and on the fundamental aspects of primordial purity and self-perfection. In particular, it contains rare explanations on the nature of the base (gzhi) and its manifestation (gzhi snang) as the source of both samsāra and nirvāna. This teaching is then elucidated by the author’s A Luminous Mirror: Concise Commentary on the Special Longsal Upadeśa of Introduction to the State of Ati.
The Mirror – New Revised and Expanded Edition
THE MIRROR – Advice on Presence and Awareness – was written during a retreat of the Dzogchen Community held at Lu Cumitoni, Sardinia, Italy, during the Christmas holidays of 1977. The Mirror was expressly written to elucidate the principle of awareness and continuous presence in place of all the rules and limitations inherent to the various religious traditions.
In this new edition, the original translation has been completely revised. The oral commentary, previously abbreviated and summarized in various passages, is here presented anew in its original, more colloquial form.

La lampada che illumina la porta dell’insegnamento
Attraverso una visione profonda della natura e delle caratteristiche di tutto il corpus degli insegnamenti buddhisti, questo libro spiega gli aspetti fondamentali del Sūtrayāna e del Vajrayāna che i praticanti dovranno affrontare e integrare in sé stessi nel loro cammino verso lo stato di Buddha. Questo testo ci guiderà dai primi passi del rifugio e del bodhicitta fino al risveglio della nostra condizione reale secondo lo Dzogpa Chenpo, cima di tutti gli yāna ed essenza della profonda conoscenza trasmessa da Buddha Śākyamuni. La lampada che illumina la porta dell’insegnamento è imperniato sulle spiegazioni essenziali dei vari veicoli che conducono alla realizzazione secondo il celebrato upadeśa La collana dei modi di vedere, uno dei testi più antichi e autorevoli della tradizione Nyingma, attribuito al maestro Padmasambhava, vissuto nell’ottavo secolo. L’upadeśa è spiegato attraverso citazioni provenienti principalmente dagli scritti di Rongzom Chökyi Zangpo (1012–1088).
