Garab Dorje: The First Hand

from The Open Treasury: Narrated by Tara Hosted by Tara, with Joseph Matten

Everything that survives of Garab Dorje, the first human master of Dzogchen, in one definitive course: the Three Statements testament in full in English and Tibetan, the lineage biographies, Mipham's three-verse instruction, Dudjom Rinpoche's 1976 glosses, and Patrul Rinpoche's manual read nearly whole - plus Tara's own word-by-word translation work from the Vima Nyingtik Tibetan. Quoting Lotsawa House translations (Adam Pearcey and others, CC BY-NC 4.0) non-commercially, with attribution. Provisional rendering: an original AI-voiced course, not an authoritative translation.
