Book Description
A Drop from the Marvelous Ocean of History, written by Lelung Tuklu Rinpoche XI, the current reincarnation of Lelung Jedrung, chronicles the history of this important lineage.

He is the compiler and protector of the profound Tantras, which are the ultimate vehicle of the Buddha’s teachings. From the origin of the lineage, Rinpoche moves through time until the mid 1900s, tracing the lives of each Lelung reincarnation, beginning with Lhodrak Namkha Gyaltsen, who was born in 1326, and moving through to his predecessor Thubten Lungtok Choekyi Wangchuk, who passed away in 1962. This wonderful compilation will be a valuable resource about this essential part of Tibetan history.

Taken Away
Author: Doboom Tulku
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 9356408823
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
The firstborn of a nomadic couple in Tibet, the child had barely learnt to walk when he was identified as the third reincarnation of Doboom Tulku and taken away from his parents. Inheriting a hermitage and a retinue of office-bearers, this child grew up to become a revered Rinpoche in the Gelukpa tradition. 'I want to demystify the life of a monk,' he declares. 'It was like that of any other.' And yet it obviously was not. In 1959 he had to wear his heaviest robes and leave Tibet by night across snow-capped mountains. He describes his entry into India and the camp where he stayed. From having a hermitage at his command with staff to manage his affairs, Doboom Tulku had to live with weekly food supplies in spartan accommodation. With catastrophic change thrust on him, the young monk has to decide on the course of the rest of his life in exile. Told movingly but unsentimentally and with care and humour, Doboom Tulku's life story is also the extraordinary story of Tibetans, especially those from monastic orders, finding their place and purpose in foreign lands.

The Paper Road

Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
“An absolutely breathtaking book -- in its thoughtfulness and imaginativeness, in the breadth and depth of the research which it entailed, in its geographical, cultural, and historical situatedness, and in its profound critical empathy for all of the key players. Beautifully and skillfully written.” – Sydney White, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Asian Studies, and Women's Studies at Temple University "The Paper Road is an eloquent, even haunting narrative of the relationships between colonial explorers/scientists and their native collaborators that makes vivid the theme of 'colonial intimacy.' It speaks to scholars working on Chinese minorities and frontier relations, to historians of comparative colonialism, to experts on Tibet and Buddhism, and probably also simply to lovers of tales of mountains and exploration." –Charlotte Furth, Professor Emerita of Chinese History , University of Southern California.

Boundless Vision
Author: Tulku Tsulo
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781985102842
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
BOUNDLESS VISION presents the Dzogchen practices of the Tibetan Northern Treasure tradition of the master Godemchan according to the 19th century master Tulku Tsulo. Tulku Thondrup Rinpoche's translation has been edited by Keith Dowman. Tulku Tsulo's lamrim text begins in Part One with the preliminary Dzogchen practices (ngondro) including the Five Nails, all treated at length. These elementary levels are evidently designed for newcomers to the Nyingma path. Part Two begins with the inner, Dzogchen, preliminaries (rushen) and then treats the trekcho and togal central meditations, providing clear and detailed instruction and metaphorical indication for both meditation phases. The Breakthrough (togal) section emphasizes direct introduction, while the Leap-over (togal) section, thoroughly explicates the four lamps and the four visions. Bardo descriptions as meditation experience in this life conclude this section. Part Three summarizes the result and completes the text. The Northern Treasure (changter) tradition is founded in the termas that Rigzin Godemchan discovered in a treasure cache in Western Tibet in the 14th century, which is collectively known as All-Good Boundless Vision. This treasure cache is universally renowned for its clarity, lucidity and profundity. (The Northern Treasure is to be distinguished from the more prolific Southern Treasure - lhoter - of which Jigmelingpa is a major exponent). Tulku Tsulo (Tsultrim Zangpo, 1884-1957?) of Do Dorje Trak gompa in Kham composed this celebrated lamrim, based on Godemchan's terma, which Tulku Thondrup entitles BOUNDLESS VISION . This textbook of Dzogchen training became a primer for latterday changter practitioners, amongst whom was Tertrul Chimme Rigzin Rinpoche (1922-2002), who received the instruction from Tulku Tsulo himself at the Khordong Gompa in Kham, bringing it to Shantiniketan University in Bengal, India. It has been authoritatively translated by Tulku Thondrup Rinpoche, a primary lineage holder of Chimme Rigzin at Shantiniketan, now teaching in Boston, USA. A vital community in Germany and Poland continues the tradition. Tulku Thondrup has contributed a practical introduction to his translation, along with useful notation elucidating textural cruxes in footnotes and establishing the origin of Tulku Tsulo's quotations in endnotes. Keith Dowman's editing updates the terminology of Dzogchen, bringing it in line with rapidly changing contemporary usage. This seminal Dzogchen text is published here by Dzogchen Now! Books with an understanding of the karmic burden entailed. Our hope and anticipation is that it is treated with the respect that this core text demands, that positive outcome will greatly outweigh any negativity caused by inappropriate motivation, and in this respect we draw the prospective reader's attention to the protecting powers of the Dzogchen Dharma.

Lamas, Shamans and Ancestors
Author: Anna Balikci
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004167064
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
This careful study of the co-existence over time of Buddhism and shamanism among the Lhopo (Bhutia) people of Sikkim sheds new light on their supposedly hostile relationship. It examines the working relationships between Buddhist lamas and practitioners of "bon," taking into consideration the sacred history of the land as well as its more recent political and economic transformation. Their interactions are presented in terms of the contexts in which lamas and shamans meet, these being rituals of the sacred land, of the individual and household, and of village and state. Village lamas and shamans are shown to share a conceptual view of reality which is at the base of their amiable coexistence. In contrast to the hostility which, the recent literature suggests, characterizes the lama-shaman relationship, their association reveals that the real confrontation occurs when village Buddhism is challenged by its conventional counterpart.
