OLD MAN BASKING IN THE SUN - KEITH DOWMAN


RATING: A

This book took me a long time to read, primarily as it was one where much contemplation is required in addition to concentration. Covering Longchenpa's famed text 'Treasury of Natural Perfection', the book guides us through understanding via various commentaries. I found the first and fourth parts more comprehensible than the second and third, with the fifth part the simplest to comprehend. I shall have to read the book again at some point, as I am far from total understanding, however. It was originally recommended to me by my former teacher.

I would recommend the book to those interesting in studying/practicing Dzogchen, and reading Longchenpa and Nyingma texts.
