Eight Early Tantras Of The Great Perfection: An Elixir Of Ambrosia

In this book I offer you translations of eight seminal Tantras that are preserved in the Nyingma Gyubum. The first book herein, The Great Tantra that is Unwritten, is one of a set of seventeen famous Tantras known as the Upadesha Instruction Section (Man ngag sde). In addition, readers who are interested in feminine presentations of enlightenment will find many books of interest within this volume. The Vajra Yogini Tantra, the Tantra on the Undisturbed Arali, and the Tantra of the Goddess Light Rays (Marici) are specifically devoted to the concerns of dakinis and goddesses, while the Tantra on the One-Pointed Samadhi of Avalokiteshvara represents the questions of the dakini Sun Garland and the Tantra on the Self-Liberation of Samsara for the Unmoving One represents the questions of the dakini Lightening Garland. The Tantra on the Flawless Jewel and the Tantra on the Bodhicitta: Grabbing the Peacock by the Neck both represent profound and insightful instructions on the experience of enlightened awareness. I have included images of the Tibetan manuscript for your convenience and to help preserve this important literature.

These are the secret, subtle, esoteric, inscrutable, profound spiritual teachings on direct awareness of reality beyond all concepts and controversy that have utterly penetrated into thusness (tattva or tathata) - the inconceivable omniscient self-referential knowledge of all Buddhas and dakinis. They are the supreme agamas or traditional scriptures of the Nyingmapas or Ancient school of Tibetan Buddhism which are not suitable for beginners or middling candidates (to enlightenment). Such a vehicle of mystical revelation are for the foremost students and fortunate sentient beings - even though such people may have committed the five immediacies - and not for the casual reader with a passing interest in the esoteric and occult. Generally speaking, this highest vehicle of Nyingma or Ancient school Buddhism is appropriate for those students well versed in the lower eight vehicles, those starting with the spiritual vehicles of gods and humans, through shravaka, pratyekabuddha, bodhisattva, kriya tantra, ubhaya-carya tantra, yoga tantra, anuttaramahayoga tantra, and anuyoga tantra. These teachings are the scriptures of Atiyoga - the uttermost spiritual instructions, secret and transcendent by virtue of their extremely pure nature. Never before anywhere in the known history of the world have such advanced and esoteric instructions been available to the general public. Therefore readers must be aware that these are not ordinary sutras intended for casual consumption and casual discussion about.Even if one wants to learn and master these teachings and feels equipped to do so, one should still not forget the shravaka teachings on patimokkha - ie. "do only good, and avoid all evil".
