Teachings from the Medicine Buddha Retreat

Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Publié en 2009

Livre
Documentaire

Because bodhisattvas have unbelievable merit, they can understand the limitless skies of benefit and qualities that Medicine Buddha has. The fortunate one who has good karma and much merit and the one who has miraculous psychic powers is able to believe in this, and they should cherish this Medicine Buddha practice. The devas of the white side will be very happy with any sentient being who reveals this Medicine Buddha practice to other sentient beings or talks about the qualities of Medicine Buddha. Those devas will protect and guide any sentient being who spreads the Medicine Buddha practice.” —Shakyamuni Buddha

Mahayana Mind Training in Seven Points

Dagri Rinpoche

Livre
Documentaire

Mahayana Mind Training in Seven Points: An Essential Guide to Training the Mind in Altruism and Wisdom. Mahayana Mind Training in Seven Points presents a skillful method for training the mind and transforming problems into a path to happiness and enlightenment. Why we transform the mind is because we want happiness and no suffering, and because the root of suffering and happiness lies within one’s own mind. The Buddha gave very beautiful instructions on how to transform one‘s mind from the root through a better understanding of reality. One can transform all bad circumstances into the path to enlightenment with the help of these skillful instructions, which are like the sun. Even one ray of sun dispels darkness, and love and compassion are the inner sun, which dispels the inner darkness of suffering and depression.

Language: English. Translator(s): Venerable Fedor Stracke. It is a commentary given by Venerable Dagri Rinpoche in Germany in 2008 and 2012, on the basis of Phabonka Rinpoche’s commentary in the Liberation in the Palm of One’s Hand.

A Drop from the Ocean of Aggregates

Tenzin Dongak ; Stracke Fedor

Publié en 2013

Livre
Documentaire

Five Questions I Always Had about the Aggragates. The five aggregates are very central, as they are the basis for many main meditations. The very subtle yet extremely resilient grasping at the self-existence of “I” and “mine” is the root of all problems. To fully appreciate the harmful impact of this grasping and to then free oneself completely from it, it is necessary to understand both the illusory conventional nature of the aggregates as well as their final mode of abiding. I collated and translated most of the content from different Tibetan texts such as the Clear Ornament by Chim Jam-pe’i yang, Elucidation of the Path to Liberation by the first Dalai Lama Gyalwa Gedun Drub, and the Collected Topics by Yongdzin Purbuchok Jampa Tsültrim Gyatso. Some of these are my own thoughts, but still based on the same material. Any faults are entirely mine.

These two instructions are presented according to the unique system established by Je Tsongkapa, which combines them into an eleven-step method of practice. This book includes a concise yet thorough presentation of the instruction for achieving calm abiding (shamatha) based on the explanations found in Je Tsongkapa's Great Exposition on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Lamrim Chenmo).

Path and Grounds of Guhyasamaja According to Nagarjuna

Yangchen Gawai Lodoe

Publié en 2000

Livre
Documentaire

His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama ding to Arya Nagarjuna is a very significant eighteenth century Tibetan treatise (with a brief contemporary commentary) which maps out the paths and the grounds of Guhyasamaja Tantra according to Arya Nagarjuna's tradition. It is based on the incomparable materpieces of Manjushri, Lama Tsongkhapa and his hear-like disciples. In many Buddhist Tantras and works of realised masters Guhyasamaja is refered to as 'the supreme and king of all Tantras'. Acharya Chandrakirti's Bright Lamp (sgron gsal) states, This (Guhyasamaja) is the supreme subsidiary practice; a compendium of the meanings of all Tantras. Khedrup Rinpoche in his Short Writing (Yig chung) states, Moreover, if one initially understands Guhyasamaja one will automatically understand other (Tantras). His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama has also stated that the Guhyasamaja provides structure to other Highest Yoga Tantras; it, therefore, makes it easier to understand other Tantras of the same class. In short this work is an indispensable guide for initiated Buddhist tantric practitioners especially those of Guhyasamaja.
