“A must-read!”—Erik Pema Kunsang



Journey to Certainty
The Quintessence of the Dzogchen View: An Exploration of Mipham's Beacon of Certainty
Anyen Rinpoche, Author
Allison Choying Zangmo, Translator

Approachable yet sophisticated, this book takes the reader on a gently guided tour of one of the most important texts Tibetan Buddhism has to offer. “Certainty” in this context refers to the unshakeable trust that develops as meditators discover for themselves the true root of reality. In this authoritative presentation, master teacher Anyen Rinpoche opens wide the storehouse of this richly philosophical text in a way that lets readers of all backgrounds easily benefit.

Praise & Reviews

"A must-read for philosophers and Vajrayana practitioners. In Journey to Certainty the reader is presented with the unique perspective that belongs to a true scholar-yogi: the view in which the most essential insights within the Buddha’s teachings—be they of the Middle Way, Prajnaparamita or Dzogchen—are not only mutually supportive and without any conflict, they describe the same nature of reality. Anyen Rinpoche bases his flawless explanations on Mipham’s Beacon of Certainty, a classic within the literature of investigative philosophy, and ornaments with words from Longchenpa and many other illustrious masters." —Erik Pema Kunsang, author of Wellsprings of the Great Perfection and compiler of Blazing Splendor

"This book beautifully demonstrates the profound unity of study and practice at heart of Tibetan Dzogchen tradition. Anyen Rinpoche takes us into the mind of Mipham Rinpoche, one of the greatest teachers of nineteenth century Tibet, to discover in our own experience Mipham's deep integration of philosophy and contemplative awakening. Remarkably accessible, this book is essential reading for anyone attempting to understand or practice Dzogchen today." —John Makransky, author of Awakening Through Love

“In the rich Tibetan tradition of oral commentary, Anyen Rinpoche draws from personal experience and deep understanding to breathe fresh life into Mipham Rinpoche’s classic.” —Douglas Duckworth, author of Mipam on Buddha-Nature

"This is a wonderful manual for dedicated practitioners to study and contemplate."—Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche




Anyen Rinpoche, Author

Anyen Rinpoche was born in Amdo, Tibet. His lineage can be traced back directly to the renowned Dzogchen master Patrul Rinpoche, author of Words of My Perfect Teacher. Anyen Rinpoche's training included more than fourteen years of intensive study combined with solitary retreat before he obtained the degree of khenpo (master teacher) and became the head scholar of his monastic university in Kham, Tibet. Rinpoche is known for his profound understanding of the scriptures as well as his easy-to-understand interpretation of them. He has taught extensively in Tibet and China and now mentors students throughout Southeast Asia, Japan and North America.
