Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen (1859-1935) was born in the Kham region of Tibet. An unusually gifted child, he became a monk at age nine. At thirty-four he retired to a mountain hermitage where he passed the rest of his life in retreat, meditating, writing, and teaching students from both Buddhist and Bonpo backgrounds.
"This is one of the most important books in Dzogchen as
demonstrated by the author Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen who attained the
rainbow body. My kind root master Lopon Rinpoche's clear and direct
commentary elucidates all the major points of this essential text."
—Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, author of Tibetan Yogas of Dream &
Sleep
"For most readers this book will serve as the first "insider"
introduction to Bön, the indigenous spiritual tradition of Tibet. .
. . We have in Heart Drops an inspiring text that no doubt will
help to vindicate Bön as an indispensable source of Dzogchen
teachings." —Tricycle: The Buddhist Review
"Written in the direct, personal, and meaningful style of
instructor to student . . . enthusiastically recommended reading."
—Wisconsin Bookwatch
