The Monk Without Dharma

Two young men seek enlightenment. One is a dharma prodigy. The other is a monk without dharma. Who will realise the ultimate truth?

Two young men--polar opposites in disposition and character but destined to cross paths--pursue the path of dharma. One is of good karma, the scion of nobility with a brilliant mind. The other is of bad karma, an orphan without anyone or anything, fated to suffer and fail.

Which of these two very different young men would transcend the traditional study of dharma and unveil the exotic secrets of dzogpachenpo? In a world where dharma is the only path, one is revealed to be a prodigy while the other cannot grasp even the basics.

Yet, as they traverse it further, they find appearances deceptive and reality elusive, challenging even the notion and the essence of dharma itself. Nothing is as it seems. Nothing is even as it is. One karma is only a precursor to the other, weaving a complex tapestry of fate and discovery.
