Dilgo Khjence rinpočhe Knihy

Komentář věhlasného tibetského mistra meditace (1910-1991) k jednomu ze základních textů tibetského buddhismu, slavnému Atíšovu Sedmibodovému výcviku mysli (11. stol.), jenž v kostce vysvětluje mahájánovou praxi bódhisattvy od meditace tonglen (imaginativní výměně štěstí za utrpení) až k praktickým radám, jak lze nevyhnutelné životní těžkosti využít pro další postup na stezce. Tuto nauku přinesl do Tibetu poprvé velký indický mistr Atíša (10.-11. stol.), jenž studoval u nejuznávanějších mistrů své doby. Hlavní Atíšův žák Domtönpa ji pak předal Čhekawa Ješe Dordžemu, který ji jako první uspořádal v písemné podobě. Sedmibodový výcvik mysli je od té doby v nepřerušené linii předáván až dodnes. Kniha je překladem série učení, která udělil Kjabdže Dilgo Khjence Rinpočhe v průběhu své poslední návštěvy ve Francii v létě 1990. Je proto považována za jeho "duchovní závěť".

Autor (1910-1991) byl jedním z nejvyšších mistrů dzogčhenu v starobylé tibetské tradici Ňingma a zároveň jedním z posledních představitelů generace velkých lamů, kteří své vzdělání a duchovní vyškolení získali ještě v Tibetu. V této knize komentuje rozsáhlou didaktickou báseň věhlasného tibetského mistra meditace Patrul Rinpočheho (1808-1987), významného učitele dzogčhenu a nesektářského hnutí rime. Tato báseň popisuje kompletní buddhistickou cestu, počínaje základní motivací a přípravnou praxí, přes stadia rozvoje, dovršení a nekonceptuální meditaci mahámudry a dzogčhenu až po vrcholnou přímou zkušenost absolutní skutečnosti mimo dosah konceptuální mysl.

Indický jógin a duchovní mistr Padampa Sanggjä přišel do Tibetu poprvé v roce 1091. Pobýval zde deset let, pak dvanáct let cestoval po Číně a poté se navrátil zpět do Země sněhu, kde zůstal až do své smrti. Než v Tingri v roce 1117 zemřel, věnoval tamějšímu lidu jako své poslední učení těchto Sto veršů rad. Krátce nato řekl: "Má mysl splynula se světem jevů." Tím vyjádřil, že z jeho mysli vymizelo veškeré dualistické vnímání. Poté spočinul svým pohledem na nebi a zemřel. Každý z těchto veršů bohatě, velmi jasně a zpříma okomentoval Dilgo Khjence Rinpočhe (1910-1991) a zároveň tak ukázal, že "lidé z Tingri" se nijak neliší od jiných hledačů pravdy. S velkou láskou, ale nekompromisně nám Dilgo Khjence Rinpočhe dává velkolepé učení o tom, jak zacílit své myšlenky k tomu, na čem v životě opravdu záleží, jak se věnovat duchovní praxi celým svým bytím a jak odhalit konečnou přirozenost mysli.

Why is the practice guru yoga (union with the nature of the guru) so important? Because with the help of the outer teacher, the inner teacher (the true nature of our own mind) is discovered. This particular guru yoga is called "The Wish-fulfilling Jewel," and it is the outer practice of the guru from the Longchen Nyingtik revelation of Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa. It was during a summer retreat in France in 1984 that Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche gave teachings on this text. This is a new commentary and not a re-edit of teachings in the book The Wish-fulfilling Jewel.
