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.

Tibet Under Communist China - 50 Years

Collective With Gangchen Kyishong

Publié en 2001

Livre
Documentaire

This book gives an exhaustive account of the change of attitude of Beijing to one of its colonies. Earlier communist China looked at Tibet from a geopolitical and security perspective. Now coupled with this enduring imperial reason for staying put in Tibet, an economically vibrant China looks to Tibet as the best source for coastal China’s galloping demand for energy, fuel and water. The devastating impact of this change of attitude toward Tibet is already felt in Tibet as Tibetans, unable to compete with more skilled Chinese settlers, are becoming increasingly marginalised by the forces of globalisation unleashed on the roof of the world. Having lost their country, Tibetans in increasing number are losing their jobs to the Chinese settlers streaming to Tibet to take advantage of the economic boom.

Ego, Attachment And Liberation : Overcoming Your Mental Bureaucracy - A Five-day Meditation Course

Lama Yeshe

Publié en 2006

Livre
Documentaire

In 1975, Lama Yeshe undertook his most extensive international teaching tour, being on the road for nearly nine months. During this time he gave many and varied teachings, a few of which have already been published in Becoming Your Own Therapist, Make Your Mind an Ocean and The Peaceful Stillness of the Silent Mind.This book contains the teachings and meditations Lama gave at a five-day retreat he led near Melbourne, Australia, which he introduced by saying:Whether or not this five-day meditation course becomes beneficial is up to you; it depends on your own mind. It’s not a lama thing; I’m not going to bring you to enlightenment in this short time. Instead of having too many expectations of the lama, it’s better that you generate a pure motivation for being here. Expectations cause mental problems; instead of being positive, they become negative...If over the next five days you can begin to recognize the reality of your own nature, this meditation course will have been worthwhile. Therefore, dedicate your actions during this time to discovering inner freedom through recognizing the negative characteristics of your own uncontrolled mind.In line with Lama’s intentions, this book is dedicated to the awakening of inner freedom within the minds of its readers and all other sentient beings.This book is made possible by kind supporters of the Archive who, like you, appreciate how we make these teachings available in so many ways, including in our website for instant reading, listening or downloading, and as multimedia, printed and ebooks.

La Merveilleuse Legende de Siddharta Sakya Mouni Bouddha

Aveline Claude

Publié en 1987

Livre
Documentaire

Le Bouddha est un personnage mal connu du public occidental. Du moins n’en avons nous le plus souvent qu’une connaissance « extérieure ». Ce type d’approche reste en deçà de son objet lorsqu’il s’applique à un sage ou à un saint. Il lui manque de transmettre l’impalpable. Pour le communiquer, il est capital que l’écriture reflète une communion intérieure avec le sujet. C’est cela que Claude Aveline démontre à merveille. Romancier, essayiste, poète, il a réussi dans cette Légende (au sens originel de « lecture de la vie d’un saint ») le mariage de l’exactitude et de la poésie.Lorsqu’il l’écrivit, il n’avait pourtant que dix-neuf ans. Tous ceux que les études des orientalistes, savantes et minutieuses, peuvent déconcerter, éprouveront la double joie de comprendre sans effort et de sentir. Claude Aveline a su élaguer, sans déflorer le charme des vieux textes, et c’est avec un art infiniment souple et délicat qu’il a enclos dans ce petit livre d’une forme parfaite, un sujet immense.
