Anyen Rinpoche was born in Amdo, Tibet. His lineage can be traced back directly to the renowned Dzogchen master Patrul Rinpoche, author of Words of My Perfect Teacher. Anyen Rinpoche's training included more than fourteen years of intensive study combined with solitary retreat before he obtained the degree of khenpo (master teacher) and became the head scholar of his monastic university in Kham, Tibet. Rinpoche is known for his profound understanding of the scriptures as well as his easy-to-understand interpretation of them. He has taught extensively in Tibet and China and now mentors students throughout Southeast Asia, Japan and North America.
Allison Choying Zangmo is a student of Anyen Rinpoche and his root master, Tsara Dharmakirti Rinpoche. She has been studying Tibetan language and Buddhism under Anyen Rinpoche's personal guidance for the past ten years. She is Anyen Rinpoche's personal translator for both Dharma talks and textual translations. She lives in Denver, Colorado.
A book that adds a most important aspect to the discovery of Mipham
Rinpoche's original, genial understanding of the dharma, for it
expounds quite clearly his approach to and explanation of Dzogchen.
It is definitely a must for anyone interested in the topic!--Elías

Anyen Rinpoche flawlessly presents the reader with the unique
perspective that belongs to a true scholar-yogi: that the most
essential insights within the Buddha's teachings--be they of the
Middle Way, Prajnaparamita, or Dzogchen--are not only mutually
supportive and without any conflict, but describe the same nature
of reality. A must-read for philosophers and practitioners.--Erik
Pema Kunsang, author of Wellsprings of the Great Perfection and
compiler of Blazing Splendor
In the rich Tibetan tradition of oral commentary, Anyen Rinpoche
draws from personal experience and deep understanding to breathe
fresh life into Mipham Rinpoche's classic.--Douglas Duckworth,
author of Mipam on Buddha-Nature
This book beautifully demonstrates the profound unity of study and
practice at heart of Tibetan Dzogchen tradition. Remarkably
accessible, this book is essential reading for anyone attempting to
understand or practice Dzogchen today.--John Makransky, author of
Awakening Through Love
This is a wonderful manual for dedicated practitioners to study and
contemplate.--Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche
