Tales Of A Dalai Lama

Delattre Pierre

Publié en 1971

Livre
Documentaire

Pierre Delattre's joyful book, Tales of a Dalai Lama, records earthbound flights of the spirit, like a bridge over silence. Here is a work of fiction with language simple and beautiful, detailing the structure of the faith of the Tibetan people as seen through the eyes of the awestruck, funny, and wise Dalai Lama, sometimes old and sometimes young. Here is fiction at its best, sure in its footing, centered in writing as an art, fulfilling its own functions and overcoming its own obstacles, bearing the reader along a path of zen grabbers, belly laughs, and glimpses of enlightenment while experiencing the nobility of faith.

The Meaning Of Life From A Buddhist Perspective

Dalai Lama

Publié en 1993

Livre
Documentaire

The Dalai Lama explains the spiritual path based on the famous Buddhist image of the Wheel of Life. These lectures elaborate on the meaning of life by pointing out the causes behind our situation as well as the altruistic purpose to which life can be put. Addressed primarily to a Buddhist audience, the lectures clarify a view of inner psychic cosmology that has had great influence throughout Asia. From a vivid description of how we become trapped in a counter-productive maelstrom of suffering, there emerges a sense of how Buddhists place themselves in the universe. The unsettling description of the steps of entrapment is in fact a call to action, for it shows how, through reversing the process, the limiting prison of selfishness can be turned into a source of help and happiness for others. The way in which this process plays itself out in the nitty-gritty of everyday life is shown in the Dalai Lama's answer to a myriad of questions from the audience at the beginning of the second through fifth lectures. He elaborates on technical issues raised during the lectures and considers many of the difficult problems we encounter in our lives: how to deal with aggression from within and without; how to reconcile personal responsibility with the doctrine of selflessness; how to handle a loss of faith in a guru or lama; how to face a terminal illness; how to help someone who is dying; how to reconcile love for family with love for all beings; and how to integrate practice in daily life. An underlying theme of all five lectures and the focus of the last is the fundamental innate mind of clear light. The Dalai Lama describes the obscuration of this basically pure and inner-most mind and its manifestation in the wisdom realizing the emptiness of inherent existence through implementation of tantric techniques. The mind of clear light radiates through his entire presentation of the harrowing process of cyclic existence, in which ignorance of the basic nature of phenomena leads beings into actions that leave potencies in the mind which ripen into more suffering.

Portrait Of A Dalai Lama : The Life and Times of the Great Thirteenth

Bell Charles

Publié en 1946

Livre
Documentaire

Portrait of a Dalai Lama is the story of one of Tibet's greatest religious and political leaders. It also stands as an important historical portrait of a pivotal era in Asian and world affairs. The Dalai Lamas of Tibet are unique. A succession of fourteen have been guiding the spiritual life of the Tibetan people for nearly six centuries, and for three hundred years have held secular power as well. Revered as the human embodiment of Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion, they choose, out of their great desire to benefit others, to reincarnate life after life as the Dalai Lama. Thubten Gyatso, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, was born to a peasant family in 1876. He was discovered, brought to Lhasa, and enthroned at the age of three. Educated as a monk, he took over full power when he was eighteen and ruled until his death thirty-seven years later. His rule would prove to be more stronger, more radical, and more complete than that of any Dalai Lama since the Great Fifth. “His courage ad energy were inexhaustible. He recoiled from nothing,” writes Charles Bell, who, as Political Officer in the Himalayas, first met the Thirteenth Dalai Lama in 1910. They developed a firm and affectionate friendship, politically and personally, that would last twenty-five years.
