Everything is Light: The Circle of Total Illumination

by Keith Dowman

Dzogchen Now! Books (Digital Publisher), 2017          310 pages

This tantra, The Circle of Total Illumination, the Tiklay Kunsel, is a definitive expression of Dzogchen. It provides the apex view of Dzogchen praxis. It is one of the highest of the atiyoga tantras. It presents a view that translates existentially into 'the great perfection'. It is a root tantra, from which later instruction, explanation and practices developed. It is an explanatory tantra, a text that is a key to all other atiyoga tantras and therefore to the entire Nyingma traditions. It is definitive also in that it presents the nondual nature of mind just as it is, in our hearts, without any prevarication, without exposition of preliminary practices or provisional precepts and without the need of foundational instruction or methods of attaining stages along a path. (p. 17)
