A unique collection of essays, instructions, letters, and personal advice on Dzogchen, Rime, and other topics by famous Tibetan Buddhist masters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
ADAM PEARCEY is a full-time translator of Tibetan Buddhist texts. He is the founder of Lotsawa House, an online library featuring several hundred translations.

“This anthology of some of the greatest scholar-saints of Tibet
makes absolutely clear that Dzogchen, Mahamudra, and Madhyamaka
practices come to the same point of realization. This is a great
contribution to the understanding of Rimé and a wonderful
translation.”
—Ringu Tulku, author of The Ri-Me Philosophy of Jamgön Kongtrul the
Great
“Among the wealth of precious texts translated from Tibetan, Adam
Pearcey’s Beyond the Ordinary Mind stands out. Here is a wisely
chosen collection of instructions from some of the most eminent
masters of recent times, clarifying crucial points related to the
nature of mind and the union of emptiness and appearances—a book to
be cherished, especially by those who aspire to deepen their
understanding of Buddhist practice.”
—Matthieu Ricard, author of Enlightened Vagabond: The Life and
Teachings of Patrul Rinpoche
Beautiful. Meaningful. A rich array of key texts that carry us past
the limitations of ordinary mind. These works are clear portals to
the Great Middle Way, to the heart of Dzogchen, touching also on
Mahāmudrā, and displaying an open, non-biased perspective. This
readable translation brings new access to some of the greatest and
most original minds of the last two centuries in Tibet.
—Anne C. Klein, translator of Khetsun Rinpoche’s Strand of Jewels:
