Mipham's Beacon of Certainty:

Illuminating the View of Dzogchen, the Great Perfection
Front Cover
1 Review
Pgw, 1999 - Philosophy - 573 pages
For centuries, Dzogchen — a special meditative practice to achieve spontaneous enlightenment — has been misinterpreted by both critics and meditators as being purely mystical and anti-rational. In the grand spirit of Buddhist debate, 19th century Buddhist philosopher Mipham wroteBeacon of Certainty,a compelling defense of Dzogchen that employs the very logic it was criticized as lacking. Through lucid and accessible textural translation and penetrating analysis, Pettit presents Mipham as one of Tibet's greatest thinkers.
