Riassunto

In 1980, two devotees of Adi Da Samraj visited Chogyam Trungpa (a well-known Tibetan teacher, then working in America). They showed him video footage of Adi Da Samraj sitting in silent Darshan and speaking to devotees. After receiving the presentation, Chogyam Trungpa expressed his respect for the authenticity of Adi Da Samraj, and made the comment: “It is tremendously difficult to begin a new tradition.” Adi Da Samraj is working to establish, in his lifetime, the Way of “Perfect Knowledge” (or Way of Adidam) as a new tradition—a total culture of life and practice that includes and serves the process of Realization from the beginner’s level to the ultimate stages, or “Perfect Practice”, of the Way. At the same time, His Way of “Perfect Knowledge”, does not, as He says here, appear “in a vacuum”. In order to indicate that the Way of Adidam is continuous with Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, and the actual completion of these traditions (and the entire Great Tradition), Adi Da Samraj has given his way alternative names that indicate this connection and continuity—including “Advaitayana Buddhism”, and “Buddhayana Advaitism”. The Way of Adidam combines and transcends the two different orientations represented: the emphasis (in Buddhism) on discriminating what is merely conditional, or “not-self”, and the emphasis (in Advaita Vedanta) on directly identifying with the Absolute Reality, or Transcendental Self. Adi Da Samraj calls for a “dual sensitivity”—a sensitivity to what is merely conditional and passing, on the one hand, and to what is non-conditional, transcendental and Divine, on the other. In this first book of the Perfect Knowledge series Adi Da makes clear why the Way of Adidam is a final revelation, a summery of all traditions. He does not merely say this to be believed, it is to be found out by all those interested in Divine Liberation.
