A Self-Enquiry Meditation on the Nature of the Mind ~ The Flight of the Garuda - Lama Shabkar - Dzogchen

This is meditation on the Nature of the Mind by Lama Shabkar
taken from the text, "The Flight of the Garuda" - translated by
Keith Dowman.  


Shabkar Tsokdruk Rangdrol  (1781-1851) was a Tibetan
Buddhist yogi and poet from Amdo. Shabkar's yogic and poetic
skill is considered second only to Milarepa.  Shabkar begin
his spiritual practice early, completing a one-year retreat at
the age of 16, later becoming a Gelug monk at 20. Shabkar studied
with masters of all major Tibetan Buddhist schools including
Gelug and Nyingma, and received Dzogchen teachings from his main
root guru Chögyal Ngakgi Wangpo. He spent years in solitary
retreats in various caves, woods and mountains of Tibet.
 Shabkar's works express non-sectarian ideals similar to
those of the 19th century Rimé movement, even though he predates
the movement by about three decades and never met with any of the
Rime masters from Kham.
