Chogyal Namkhai Norbu : Buddhist Dream Yoga Dzogchen and the Practice of Natural Light

Instructional exercises rooted in the time-honored tradition of Dzogchen for enhancing self-awareness and developing clarity within sleep and dream states—for everyday practice, day and night

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu goes beyond the practices of lucid dreaming that have been popularized in the West by presenting methods for guiding dream states that are part of a broader system for enhancing self-awareness called Dzogchen. In this tradition, the development of lucidity in the dream state is understood in the context of generating greater awareness toward the ultimate purpose of spiritual liberation. Also included is a text written by Jamgön Mipham, an eminent nineteenth-century master of Dzogchen, which offers additional insights into this extraordinary form of meditation and awareness.

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu (1938–2018) was a Tibetan master of the Dzogchen tradition. He taught at the Oriental Institute of the University of Naples, Italy, from 1962 to 1992 and authored many books, including The Crystal and the Way of Light, The Supreme Source, and Dzogchen: The Self-Perfected State.
