Zen and the Art of Subration is a three-part masterwork arising from the author’s thirty-five-year journey to overcome cultural conditioning and achieve the ultimate transformation: living on light and oxygen. Ashoka Annamaya Ishaya shares an intimate look into how she discovered tantric and Taoist practices for cultivating immortality and integrated them into her life. She follows up this first-person account with a teaching guide distilling knowledge and practices aimed at readers on their own transformative path toward achieving your immortal jing cycle. Ishaya believes that if a critical mass of humans commit to the process of sustainable immortality, we can affect the evolution of our entire species. Ishaya pursues an illuminating range of questions: • Are we as a species destined to be enlightened? • Can we apply mindfulness skills to evolve our physiology? • How can our health-care system better support the maturation of our species? • Can we become an immortal species? The treatise concludes with a scholarly overview of noted prophets from varied traditions and times who have taught and fostered transformation of consciousness and sustainability of culture.

Nonmeditation is the essential unique method of Dzogchen meditation. But nonmeditation cannot be programmed or devised. These twenty-one semdzins are open-sesame keys to nonmeditation, meditations that open up into nonmeditation or make space for nonmeditation. The natural flow of consciousness is dammed by the semdzin and mind is 'held' momentarily, during which time the window to the nature of mind is thrown open or enlarged and nonmeditation can proceed at a high level. Certainly, a powerful head of energy is built up behind the dam of semdzin discipline and particular mind-states may be engendered such as high awareness with varying degrees of bliss, radiance, thoughtlessness and emptine...

Dzogchen Nonmeditation introduces Dzogchen as a functional description of nonduality in the here-and-now. In Dzogchen parlance nonmeditation is the existential mode of identity with the nature of mind and thus it is central to the Dzogchen project. Nonmeditation is primarily identified as such, without any structure whatsoever; then in the traditional trekcho context as formal nonmeditation; in the context of togal as directed nonmeditation; and finally as 'skygazing'. This work on nonmeditation acts as both a pointing-out, revealing the magic of Dzogchen vision, and as a practical manual and guide in nonmeditation. Part One of the book comprises descriptions of the various permutations of nonmeditation, while Part Two consists of translations of extracts of original traditional texts by Dzogchen masters - Garab Dorje, Jigme Lingpa, and Dudjom and Khyentse Rinpoches - illustrating the nature of nonmeditation. This small book on Dzogchen nonmeditation, presenting the core of Dzogchen as nonmeditation, is the first in the Dzogchen teaching series. Keith Dowman is a translator and teacher of the Tibetan tradition.
The Dzogchen View encapsulates this essential Dzogchen revelation as the Dzogchen Nonview. The Nonview is the direct instruction on the immediate path of the here and now. This instruction is provided by the tradition under the rubric of recognition of mind's nature, conviction and confidence in release. This instruction comprises the so-called 'three incisive precepts' given here by Dudjom, Mipham and Patrul Rinpoches. Here the heart of Dzogchen is laid bare for those who have the experience necessary to understand it. The Dzogchen View, or rather Dzogchen Nonview precepts induce the magic of Dzogchen nonmeditation. In Dzogchen practice there is nothing but this view revealed here in Keith Dowman's magisterial style. The third in the Dzogchen Teaching Series.
The Khordé Rushen is a crucial element of Dzogchen praxis as both a preliminary and a stand alone supportive practice. The practice is described in three streams: formal, unstructured and social. It includes a psychological appraisal of the method, detailed instruction for practice, and relevant instruction from the Tibetan masters Jigme Lingpa and Jamgon Kongtrul excerpted from their meditation manuals. This book is manual for the Dzogchen retreatant and holds little other value. It belongs to Keith Dowman's Dzogchen Teaching Series.
Mahamudra was the nondual buddhist realisation of Eastern India a thousand years ago. The mahasiddhas who walked that talk composed a poetic effusion of Mahamudra that revealed their understanding. The poetry of Mahamudra is represented here by the principal exponents of this the highest of buddhist traditions: Saraha, Nakpopa, Tilopa, Naropa, Virupa and Maitripa are their names. These buddhist sadhus created the literary roots of Mahamudra that became the inspiration of the Tibetans that embodied it: Marpa, Milarepa and Rechungpa. The commentary that illuminated the sometimes cryptic meaning of the Tibetan poetry was provided by the Eighth Khamtrul Rinpoche. Besides the doha poetry of the mahasiddhas, this volume contains a concise life-story of Tilopa, illuminating the nature of the immediate path of Mahamudra in its secret language. These translations from the Tibetan can provide the same impetus to an understanding of nondual reality to us in the West as the Mahamudra transmission did for the Tibetans a thousand years ago. This 85 page volume is a companion to Keith Dowman's new series of Dzogchen teaching books.
