The Vajrayana system of Tibetan Buddhism has many techniques, few
difficulties and is meant for people of higher capabilities. Because
each of us possesses the enlightened essence, when many people
participate in a great accomplishment practice, then many enlightened
essences are gathered together in one place. Hence, practice will be
more effective.
If we have recognized and realized our enlightened essence, then
circumstances will be perfect. Even if we have not, if we participate in
the practice and stay within the environment, there will be great
benefit.<br><br>
The Vajrayana system has many techniques and skillful means
for clearing away the impurities that prevent us from fully realizing
our buddha nature. If we weren’t already endowed with this pure gold,
the buddha nature, but instead possessed mere brass, we could polish and
clean as much as possible, but the brass would never turn into gold.
Nevertheless, since we already have a divine nature, then if we engage
in the development, recitation and completion stage practices, which act
like a polish, we can realize what we actually are.<br><br>
The Great
Accomplishment book offers detailed explanations of these practices and
the underlying theories from which they derive. It gives hands on advice
on the meaning, the application and the profound results of working
together with other practitioners to accomplish the goal of taming our
minds and benefiting others. From the most esoteric to the subtlest of
practical details, these three masters, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Orgyen
Topgyal Rinpoche and Lama Putsi give a complete guidance manual on this
hidden treasure.
