The Splendor Of An Autumn Moon

Lama Tsongkhapa

Publié en 2001

Livre
Documentaire

The Tibetan saint Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), the founder of the Dalai Lama's tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, was renowned for his vast learning, meditational achievements, influential writings on practice and philosophy, and reform of tantric religious practices. A deeply humble and religious man, he expressed himself in exquisite verse. Here, presented in both the original Tibetan and in English translation, are twenty-one devotional poems by Tsongkhapa. Each verse--dedicated to the Buddha, bodhisattvas, and lamas--illuminates some aspect of the Buddhist path. Gavin Kilty's commentary places each prayer into context, and his careful, artful translations will appeal to anyone with a love of poetry.

Becoming Your Own Therapist

Lama Yeshe

Publié en 1998

Livre
Documentaire

An Introduction to the Buddhist Way of Thought. The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive (LYWA) is the collected works of Lama Thubten Yeshe and Kyabje Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche. The Archive was founded in 1996 by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, its spiritual director, to make available in various ways the teachings it contains. This edition of Becoming Your Own Therapist contains three public talks by Lama Yeshe on the general topic of Buddhism. Each lecture is followed by a question and answer session. Lama and his audiences always enjoyed the give and take of these lively exchanges, and pretty much anything went. Although these talks were called lectures, Lama would have each of us use them as a mirror for our minds and look beyond the words, find ourselves, and become our own psychologist. An expanded edition published in 2003 by Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive is also available and includes a second popular talk by Lama Yeshe entitled Make Your Mind an Ocean.

Becoming The Compassion Buddha

Lama Yeshe

Publié en 2003

Livre
Documentaire

Not only was Lama Yeshe one of the most beloved Tibetan Buddhist masters of the late twentieth century, he was also a remarkably effective teacher and communicator. In Becoming the Compassion Buddha, just as he did with his bestselling Introduction to Tantra, he once again demonstrates his extraordinary ability to present practices that once were considered arcane or hidden in a way that is clear and understandable to the general reader. In these pages, Lama Yeshe guides readers through the tantric practice of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion, basing his instructions on a text written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama at age nineteen. He gives special emphasis to mahamudra, the emptiness of one's own mind, and demystifies these esoteric techniques, clearly showing them for what they are: highly developed psychology. Throughout, Lama Yeshe presents his approachable teachings by drawing on examples from daily life and introducing meditation practices that all can follow. Becoming the Compassion Buddha is an extraordinary book that opens new doors for countless readers.

Wheel-weapon Mind Training

Dharmarakshita

Livre
Documentaire

Excerpt from Peacock in the Poison Grove Two Buddhist Texts on Training the Mind. * In the dense jungle wherein roam many fearful beasts of prey, the great yogi Dharmaraksita, who understood both scripture and logic, composed The Wheel-Weapon That Strikes at the Enemy’s Vital Spot according to his holy religious teacher’s instruction, and he practiced it in the dark and terrifying jungle of our degenerate age. He bestowed it upon Atisa, and Atisa too came to realize it by practicing it disinterestedly for the sake of taming sentient beings who are difficult to tame. Atisa spoke these verses: - I After I left my royal estate and practiced austerities, I met my supreme religious teacher due to the merit I had accumulated; he taught me this ambrosia of the holy religion and initiated me into it; having obtained the antidote for the present age, I committed it to memory. - II Without partisanship toward doctrinal systems, I opened my mind and studied them all, and although I have understood teachings marvelous and vast, this is the teaching that will bring benefit to this degenerate age. * From among the inconceivably vast number of his Indian and Tibetan disciples, Atisa bestowed it upon Upasika (’Brom ston pa), the fit vessel, the disciple who was prophesied by numberless tutelary deities such as Lady Tara. The teaching was gien to tame the dangerous converts of the Tibetan borderlands. * The Conqueror Father and Son [Atisa and ’Brom] served as pandit and translator.

« Imaginez ce que serait le monde dans lequel nous vivons si chacun d'entre nous se levait de son lit le matin, le cœur rempli de joie à la pensée de la rareté et de la valeur de son existence, fermement résolu à employer son temps dans ce monde à aider les autres... Telle est l'essence du présent commentaire. » - Extrait de l'avant-propos de Yangsi Rinpoché. « Chaque fois que la pensée “ j'ai reçu une parfaite renaissance humaine ” vous traverse l'esprit, vous devriez ressentir la joie démesurée du mendiant qui trouve un diamant dans une poubelle… Il nous faut prendre la pleine mesure du joyau inestimable que nous avons entre les mains, ce qui nous animera d'une détermination farouche à ne pas gâcher la moindre seconde d'une situation aussi rare et aussi précieuse… Il n'est pas de sens à la vie qui soit supérieur à celui de mener tous les êtres au bonheur incomparable. Et justement, grâce à la parfaite renaissance humaine qui est la nôtre actuellement, pour une durée limitée, cette mission est à notre portée… Nous avons un voyage fantastique à entreprendre, avec le lamrim en guise de carte routière, notre guide tout au long de notre parcours. Ce voyage commence par la compréhension de la parfaite renaissance humaine … et des libertés et richesses dont elle est parée... » - Lama Zopa Rinpoché

Transforming Problems Into Happiness

Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Publié en 1988

Livre
Documentaire

Happiness and suffering are dependent upon your mind, upon your interpretation. They do not come from outside, from others. All of your happiness and all of your suffering are created by you, by your own mind," says Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Commenting on an early-twentieth-century Tibetan text of instructions and practical advice for everyday spiritual living, Lama Zopa Rinpoche teaches us how to be happy during hard times by adopting skillful attitudes--ways of interpreting reality that can permit us to live a joyful and relaxed life regardless of circumstance. In Transforming Problems Into Happiness, Lama Zopa Rinpoche brings his own special flavor and contemporary relevance to a timeless teaching on Buddhist psychology. This volume will be valuable to all, no matter the spiritual background of the reader or the kind of problems that have led them to ask that ageless question: How can I achieve happiness?
