Vajrayana and the Culmination of the Path
Author: Dalai Lama
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1614299579
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
The final volume of the Library of Wisdom and Compassion by His Holiness the Dalai Lama takes us to the uncommon practices and realizations of Vajrayana to the full awakening of a buddha. His Holiness the Dalai Lama skillfully illuminates the unique qualities of Vajrayana, as practiced in Tibet, and the method to eradicate the subtlest obscurations preventing the full awakening of a buddha. Speaking to newcomers and advanced students alike, he explains the similarities and differences of the Sutra and Tantra paths. Having gathered many of the doubts and difficult points concerning the tantric path, he clarifies the purpose of receiving proper empowerment by qualified gurus and the ethical restraints and commitments required to enter the path of secret mantra. The paths and stages of the four tantric classes are explained, as are the generation-stage and completion-stage practices of Highest Yoga Tantra. You are introduced to the practices of clear appearance and divine identity common to all tantric sadhanas, as well as the distinctive practices of illusory body and actual clear light that overcome the subtlest defilements on the mind and eliminate all obscurations quickly. The understanding of emptiness in Sutra and Tantra is the same, but the consciousness perceiving emptiness differs. In Highest Yoga Tantra that consciousness is great bliss, which arises from knowing the methods to manipulate the channels, winds, and drops of the subtle body. In short, in Vajrayana and the Culmination of the Path the Dalai Lama sets out the path that leads to blissful awakening and enables us to be of great benefit to all sentient beings.

The Mysteries of Clear Light 1
Author: Thespian Michaels
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412248078
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
The Mysteries of Clear Light, A Timeless Legacy, is the first of an open-ended series, which speaks to you in the words of the Great Beings that have always watched over the development of the Human race. Their communication cuts through the misinformation that accumulated throughout ages of ignorance and self-interest and helps our species adapt to the vital role it has to play in these stressful times of changes. The always-unfolding story encompasses all periods, passed, current and future; its message is one of hope and reconciliation. The style, at times, reflects the character of the Being who dictated a given chapter but invariably and effortlessly builds upon itself and gently reminds the reader of all that our spirit has always known. We do not teach, for in truth there is nothing to learn. The realizations to which you awaken are your own, we merely show you alternatives. Your immortal spirit will assist you in making the best choices for you and help you fulfill the purpose for which you incarnated. Your reward is not enlightenment; you already have that within you; rather it is the freedom to make use of the power you have always had.

The Roar of Thunder

Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1614295913
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
An essential collection of tantric texts on a meditation practice essential to one of the largest traditions of Buddhism in Tibet. Yamantaka is the wrathful expression of the wisdom buddha Manjushri and was Tsongkhapa’s foremost personal deity, from whom he received direct visions that were a constant source of empowerment, inspiration, instruction, and even personal advice. The oral instructions on the practice of Yamantaka fall into two main streams. The quintessential instruction of both of these lineages, including both their generation- and completion-stage teachings, are contained in the two commentaries presented in this volume. First, we have commentary from the great scholar, siddha, and lineage holder of the Gelug Mahamudra lineage, Ngulchu Dharmabhadra, on the Thirteen Deity practice. These texts contain a wellspring of oral instructions that provide rich and highly accessible details concerning the practice of Yamantaka that are equally applicable to the Solitary Hero practice, the practice of the second stream. The second commentary, composed by the Fifth Ling Rinpoche, Losang Lungtog Tenzin Trinley, is concerned with the Solitary Hero practice and contains many extraordinary instructions that have not been written down in other texts but have been preserved through the oral lineage. This text is part of a highly secretive volume containing many texts on Solitary Hero Yamantaka entitled the Eighteen Steps of Solitary Hero. The combination of these two texts gives the reader an unprecedented panoramic perspective on the entire spectrum of Yamantaka practice. Also included in this amazing volume is the extensive sadhana of the Solitary Hero composed by Pabongkha Rinpoche that can be used as a reference to facilitate a more thorough understanding of the commentaries.
