Activities of the Ka-Ter Translation Project of the Shang Shung Institute Austria in 2023
Based on an excellent and dedicated collaboration with the translator(s), the editors, the people working on the layout and the graphic designs, and the entire team of the Shang Shung Publications, we were able to publish some outstanding and unique books of wisdom of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu within the KA-TER SERIES.
The demanding work of publishing these books in the best possible quality was only possible due to the generous donations of YOU ALL.

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu: The Luminous Clarity of the Universe
A Clear Exposition of the Primordially Pure Tregchöd is one of the earliest books on Dzogchen authored by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. Originally conceived as a compendium of instructions drawn from Dzogchen Upadeśa tantras and the writings of Longchenpa and Jigmed Lingpa on the basis of personal knowledge and experience, in 2005 the Author enriched it with the verses of The Upadeśa on the Primordially Pure Tregchöd from his own rediscovered cycle of teachings known as Longsal. This precious book is a marvelous guidance to the essence of our being through the knowledge of one of the most ancient teachings of timeless, primordial wisdom.
Chögyal Namkhai Norbu: The Preliminaries of the Path of Ati – Longsal Commentaries Six
The Preliminaries of the Path of Ati (A ti lam gyi sngon ’gro) is a special Vajrasattva purification belonging to the same genre of preliminary Longsal teachings as The Crucial Preliminaries of the Path of Ati, and it is of particular importance as in its central part it focuses on the principle of the three dimensions, or tal (dal), of Guru Vajrasattva and elucidates the way to access them. The detailed commentary is followed by a dream in which Nyagse Gyurmed Gyaltsen, son of Changchub Dorje and an important teacher of the Author, reveals a particular way to apply the Purification of the Six Lokas combined with the visualization of Vajrasattva.
This book continues the Longsal Commentaries series, which aside from the histories and root texts includes the autocommentaries written by the Author himself, occasionally supplemented with additional material to gather all information concerning a specific teaching in a single volume.
Padmasambhava’s Advice on Total Perfection – A Hidden Treasure Discovered by Dorje Lingpa
An Oral Commentary by NAMKHAI NORBU
This volume offers a commentary on an ancient Tibetan text, unearthed by the revered fourteenth-century master Dorje Lingpa. With insights that are as relevant today as they were centuries ago, these teachings provide a direct route for practitioners to directly experience the nature of their minds. Incisive commentary by a contemporary Dzogchen master Namkhai Norbu, seamlessly integrated with meticulous translations of the root text, underscores the quintessence of spiritual practice, emphasizing its core over its aspects relative to the conditions of any given epoch or place. This book serves as a bridge, merging ancient wisdom with the reality of modern living.
