Dharma Publishing - Crystal Mirror Volume 1 (1971)
Nyingma Transmission to the West
From the Introduction:
This is the first issue of a new periodical of the Tibetan Nyingmapa Meditation Center of Berkeley, California. We have therefore tried to include the background of the center, its present activities, and future plans. We hope that this publication will serve as a means of communication between the Center and the community and as a source of information for those interested in Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan culture.
In future issues we plan to include a series of articles on the most famous gurus, siddhas, and pandits of Tibet and India. 108 pages.
Uploader Note:
This was the first Volume of the periodicals produced by Dharma Publishing on behalf of the Tibetan Nyingmapa Meditation Center of Berkeley, California. Each volume included articles from Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche and often included articles by H.V. Guenther and translations from such Nyingma luminaries as Mipham and Longchenpa.
When I first became interested in the Dharma in 1973, these were some of my earliest introductions to Tibetan Buddhism. I always appreciated the clear language used in these publications.
In this issue, some details about lineage are included, and an overview of the Nyingma view and activities of the newly established centre in the West.
