Introduction to the Yetri Thasel cycle of Dzogchen

Introduction to the Yetri Thasel cycle of Dzogchen, by Jean-Luc Achard, Mars 2013, éd. Khyung-mkhar, PDF, 9 pages.

4e de couverture :

The cycle of the Yetri Thasel (Ye khri mtha’ sel) is one of the numerous Dzogchen cycles belonging to the Bönpo tradition. Its redaction is ascribed to Drenpa Namkha (a famous 8th century figure) and has a lot of common traits with the later Nyingma tradition, as the latter evolved after the fall of the Yarlung dynasty. The present booklet provides a general introduction to the history, doctrinal contents and lineage of the Yetri, as well as contextual data regarding its inclusion in the traditional Dzogchen training program held in Bönpo colleges of meditation (sgom grwa).
