From the Publisher
General Introduction
We are attracted to circumstances that give rise to feelings that we want, and we try our best to avoid circumstances that trigger feelings we don't want. For instance, I hear the song birds of springtime outside my window, soft morning sunlight shines through shimmering green bamboo leaves blown by a warm, fragrant breeze. It's Saturday morning, and I decide to stay home and enjoy this gorgeous time. These circumstances create a feeling that's hard to describe; perhaps words that come close are peacefulness, serenity, and happiness, but these do not really capture my experience. Nevertheless, I have a strong sense of enjoyment, and I try always to recreate it, consciously and unconsciously. This attempt underlies the choice of the house I live in, the type of garden I cultivate, the car that I drive, the choice of vacation spots that I can't wait to return to.
Due to our individual karma, we have diverse feelings that we try to engender or avoid, and we sometimes react differently to similar external phenomena. Whatever my personal likes and dislikes, it is all based upon feelings that arise within me that I like and want to sustain. These feelings are in turn based upon circumstances such as those just mentioned. Hence, I then attempt to create and sustain circumstances that will result in internal feelings I enjoy, such as love, inspiration, pleasure, and happiness. I attempt to change or avoid circumstances that may result in feelings such as pain, suffering, disappointment and fear. But isn't it actually the feeling itself that we enjoy and want to recreate and maintain? Don't we actually spend our entire lives grasping after pleasurable inner experiences, attempting to create and sustain these feelings through creating and sustaining outer circumstances; just as we push away unpleasurable inner experiences, trying to change and avert these feelings through changing and averting outer circumstances?
Perhaps we don't like being someone's assistant at work, where we must endure condescending orders and are required to put up with being scolded in order to keep our job. We don't like the feeling of dread at the thought of going to work, nor the feelings of being treated like a worthless individual. We definitely don't like the feelings associated with being cooped up in an office cubical all day. Perhaps, instead we long for a job where we can work independently from home. On the other hand, we might really enjoy living in a Mediterranean-style villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean, with lavender gardens and wisteria hanging over the lattices. We love that feeling of spaciousness and freedom, and it reminds us of wonderful experiences, memories of travels to the South of France. So we then engage in our life project to set up external circumstances that give us the internal feelings we want, and that protect us from those feelings we wish to avoid. Our joys and sorrows throughout our life are very much related to how well we succeed in doing this.
Unfortunately, sooner or later, all these projects based upon grasping at pleasure and avoidance of pain end in failure—either due to unforseen circumstances beyond our control, such as illness, divorce, unwanted separation from loved ones or imminent death, whatever the case may be. Such attempts at maintaining or avoiding these circumstances will almost certainly bite the dust. Especially when death occurs, a non-practitioner has no power or ability to control circumstances at all.
According to Vajrayana Buddhist teachings, when we die we enter a series of experiences called the intermediate state (bardo), that culminates in rebirth into one of six realms of cyclic existence, unless our previous practice and the blessings of our lama results in liberation during this intermediate state. Thus at death, when our mind separates from our body, we no longer have the power or ability to create the circumstances that support feelings we enjoy, or to prevent the feelings that cause us suffering. In the intermediate state between this life and the next, our experiences and the feelings related to these experiences arise based on conditions that are the results of the cause and effect of our past karma. This is the bad news.
Fortunately, there is also very good news. Through practicing Buddha's teachings with faith and devotion, it is possible to become free of all circumstances, both positive ones that lead to feelings we enjoy, and negative ones that lead to feelings we find disturbing. Buddha skillfully taught many methods based on circumstances that take us beyond circumstances, progressively leading us to the realization of our true nature which is Always Noble (Kuntu Zangpo), primordially pure great exaltation. Dudjom Rinpoché's writings compiled in this book are the essence of all Buddhist teachings, and the quintessence of the wisdom mind of Always Noble, the original Buddha. His direct and simple pith instructions on view, meditation and conduct are a sure guide upon the path of Great Perfection, leading to fully enlightened Buddhahood in a single lifetime. As His Holiness writes in his preface to Essential Advice for Solitary Meditation Practice:
My words will place direct instructions for the practice of innermost secret Great Perfection in the palm of the hands of fortunate individuals.
This book, Wisdom Nectar, is arranged in four chapters: Heart Advice (zhal gdams); Songs of Realization (gur) and Songs of Tantric Gatherings (tshogs); Supplication Prayers (gsol ‘debs); and Aspiration Prayers (smon lam). Each chapter begins with a table of contents and translator’s introduction, followed by the translation of Dudjom Rinpoché’s teachings.
My intention in writing the introduction to the first chapter, Heart Advice, is to provide a context for the reader to realize what a gift we literally hold "in the palm of our hands," in the form of this book that contains a collection of His Holiness’ pith instructions. I find for myself that reading with an open heart—reading with faith and devotion—is the key that allows the master’s essential teachings to penetrate deep within me. If you are already familiar with Dudjom Rinpoché, you no doubt have an appreciation for the writings translated in this book and there may be no need for you to read this introduction. If you are not familiar with Dudjom Rinpoché, I hope the introduction to his heart advice will inspire you and to savor his writings slowly and carefully, with the knowledge that each and every line of these teachings has the ability to bring us to full liberation.
Sometimes, to read endless volumes and listen to numerous lengthy teachings only creates more confusion, while at other times reading or hearing just one line of the profound Teachings is enough to change your entire life. These teachings and prayers of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoché are of this latter type; they are so direct that every word has the power to change our lives in a very positive and profound way. Each line, read slowly and taken to heart, has the ability to turn us away from the meaninglessness and spiritual poverty of our time, and move us toward the vast wealth of our true nature, which lies within us, present from the very beginning.

This volume contains a generous selection of his inspiring teachings and writings, the core of which is a lengthy discussion of the entire path of Dzogchen, including key instructions on view, meditation, and conduct, along with direct advice on how to bring one's experiences onto the path.
Also included in this book in their entirety are the oral instructions, tantric songs, and songs of realization of His Holiness's Collected Works, along with a generous selection of the aspiration and supplication prayers.
"True wisdom nectar, the spontaneous vajra songs and teachings of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, are of such a precious nature that just reading or hearing a few words will incite inexpressible wisdom and blessings."-- Loppön Jigme Thutop Namgyal
"As the representative of the great vajra master Padmasambhava, Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche was himself a great scholar and realized meditation master. In general all of his writings and rediscovered treasures are completely authentic and sublime. In particular his direct spiritual advice from the heart, such as the teachings found in the pages of this book, serve as profound reminders to awaken and seriously pursue the path to fully enlightened Buddhahood.
We rejoice that our vajra brother Ron Garry has translated this material since he is someone who practices with true heartfelt faith and devotion in the Buddhadharma."-- Lama Chönam and Sangye Khandro, members of the Light of Berotsana Translation Group
"This book reveals the timeless essence of holy Dharma. Every word rings true. This masterpiece will certainly inspire many generations to come."-- Tulku Thubten Rinpoche, Spiritual Advisor, Dharmata Foundation
"This collection of prayers and songs from Dudjom Rinpoche (1904-1987), former head of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, provides a rare opportunity to absorb the core insights of a master. The teachings -- often transcribed from the same poetic verse that he presented orally to his students -- are not concerned with complex rhetoric. Rather, they are intended to communicate directly Dudjom Rinpoche's personal realization, his heart advice. A prose section, "Essential Advice for Solitary Meditation Practice," includes a complete discussion of the Dzogchen path and answers all the questions that might arise during a three-year retreat (and a shorter one, too)."--Tricycle Magazine
"Wisdom Nectar: Dudjom Rinpoche's Heart Advice... is a work of inspiring, beautiful translations of Rinpoche's writings. This is a book that will be of interest both to the general reader, as well as those who practice Dzogchen and scholars. And for those who study the Tibetan language: you will find an extensive word list in the Tibetan script."--Tibetan Language Institute
His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche (1904-1987) was the head of the Nyingma lineage during his lifetime. He was a treasure revealer, teacher, and poet; he also built monasteries, retreat centers, and stupas.
Ron Garry has an M.A. in integral psychotherapy and a Ph.D. in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, and has completed the traditional three-year retreat. He is also the translator of The Teacher-Student Relationship.

The Essence
By mahipal
I could not think of a more accurate title to this precious work than "WISDOM NECTAR", and I would also like to thank Ron GARRY for his involvement. This book tries to convey the essence of Dzogchen and could be compared to Einstein's Formula E=MC2.
Every child can "know" the formula but this intellectual knowledge does not help him a great deal. Between understanding the words and understanding the meaning lies about 47 years in my case. But until recently the words were not spelled out that clearly as here. May more beings understand the simplicity and precision of the inherent meaning!

Too the heart of awareness and enlightenment
By Dennis Crane
The work is well translated. The view of the enlightened condition is wonderful. I read a small portion at a time while I am in bed at night. It's good to have the core teaching of the Buddha in my heart for my night's activities. Dudjom is simply the finest I have read in my 48 years as a devoted Buddhist. I also recommend his work: The Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, which is a definitive look at the Buddha's teaching. Dennis Crane
