What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This is one of the most important books in Dzogchen as demonstrated by the author Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen who attained the rainbow body. My kind root master Lopon Rinpoche’s clear and direct commentary elucidates all the major points of this essential text.” —Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, author of Tibetan Yogas of Dream & Sleep
“For most readers this book will serve as the first “insider” introduction to Bön, the indigenous spiritual tradition of Tibet… . We have in Heart Drops an inspiring text that no doubt will help to vindicate Bön as an indispensable source of Dzogchen teachings.” —Tricycle: The Buddhist Review
“Written in the direct, personal, and meaningful style of instructor to student … enthusiastically recommended reading.” —Wisconsin Bookwatch
