THE PRELIMINARIES OF THE PATH OF ATI
LONGSAL COMMENTARIES VOLUME SIX
Dear Readers,
We are happy to present The Preliminaries of the Path of Ati (A ti lam gyi sngon ’gro) by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. It 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.
Enjoy the reading.
