Overview
Translated here for the first time, Adzom Drukpa’s (1842–1924) Lamplight on Your Path details for readers the unique practices grounding the Dzogchen path to liberation. This path was revealed by Jigme Lingpa (1730–98) as part of his Longchen Nyingthig cycle of teachings and is the basis for both Patrul Rinpoche’s beloved Words of My Perfect Teacher and Adzom Drukpa’s Lamplight. These foundational practices, known as ngondro, offer a way to fundamentally shift one’s heart and mindset, preparing one for the uniquely refined awareness that is both the method and the pinnacle of Dzogchen practice.
In Lamplight, Adzom Drukpa enriches his instruction with personal anecdotes and poetic flourishes that amplify his teachings on these powerful practices. His unique emphases suggest the power that he personally found in the foundational practices, how their inner meaning arose in his mind, and the open-hearted relationship he had with his teachers.
Beautifully rendered from the original Tibetan into clear English by Dr. Anne C. Klein—herself a lama and practitioner within the lineage of Jigme Lingpa and Adzom Drukpa—Lamplight for Your Path offers a fascinating account of a Tibetan master’s own journey in practice and shows how that path is always open to anyone with a heartfelt desire to experience the ever-present liberating awareness of Dzogchen.
