Book Description
Poet, scholar, philosopher, and master of Vajrayana (Tibetan) Buddhism, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche led a life of profound dedication to spiritual enlightenment and teaching. During the final fourteen years of his life his personal assistant was Matthieu Ricard. Together they traveled throughout Tibet, Bhutan, India, and Nepal, returning to the places of Khyentse Rinpoche's youth: his birthplace in Eastern Tibet; the monastery of Shechen which he had entered at the age of eleven; and the retreats where he spent years in meditation and study. At every stop on his journey, Khyentse Rinpoche was welcomed with elaborate ceremonies and outpourings of devotion. Ricard's deeply personal photographs of this journey are enhanced by a biographical narrative that is interspersed with extensive passages from the writings and teachings of Khyentse Rinpoche. Together, these images and texts form an inspiring portrait of one of the great spiritual leaders and teachers of our time. Many masters of Tibetan Buddhism studied with Khyentse Rinpoche, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who regarded him as his principal instructor in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Book Description
I remember most of my childhood since I was 4 years old, at the age of 7, I had a weird seed like thought in my mind, something like I had to help my brothers out of this ugly world we were living in, the ghetto slums of South-Central Los Angeles. I started creative writing at the age of 10, literature has always been my favorite subject. Since a teen I realized my favorite gifts were books, especially growing into an adult and realizing my ex-husband never allowed me to go to school, took me out of school as soon as I became a freshman at Fremont High School, on my first day of school. At the age of 16 years old, the first time I stepped in Umatilla, OR., I astral traveled for the first time ever to visit my past lives, I experienced the three most recent ones, it was an amazing journey to be able to do that at such a young age. I had no idea I was on a real mission to save humanity still on earth, blinded by the bullshit on television media, it's a mission to help humanity evolve out of the current modern-day slavery system. I've reached that spiritual level of immortality, and of course I've chosen this life I AM currently in, here in the present moment to make history, and help change the world, as I start with me first, on the front lines. It is time for peace and love WORLDWIDE, drop the restrictions, borders, and open up the cages for WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS OF LIGHT here to EXPERIENCE HUMAN LIFE!

Book Description
Fictions of Enlightenment is the first book to examine the fascinating and intricate relationship between Buddhism and the development of Chinese vernacular fiction. Qiancheng Li brings Buddhist models to bear on the vision, structure, and narrative form of three classics of late imperial literature—Journey to the West, Tower of Myriad Mirrors, and Dream of the Red Chamber—arguing that by fashioning their plots after the narratives of certain Mahāyāna sutras, the novelists transformed Buddhist concepts into narrative structures. Within the traditional Chinese novel Li even defines a new genre: the fiction of enlightenment.

Book Description
Here and Now... Nowhere else! The beauty, simplicity, and immediacy of Enlightenment has been celebrated through various forms of expression like hymns, poetry, discourses, and scriptures. Enlightenment is the experience of our true nature that transcends all concepts, names, and forms. It is the sublime state of Self-awareness in which all beliefs, notions, and bondages end. Life flows in perfect harmony and becomes a joyous game. Enlightenment is the unconscious need of every human being. One does not have to leave the world to attain this state. One can attain it while leading a productive life in the world. Many of us experience momentary flashes of oneness amidst our daily lives. However, the journey should not stop with mere glimpses of Enlightenment. The real purpose is to permanently abide in that experience and express divine qualities. This book unravels the journey to Enlightenment. It dispels prevalent myths, explains the pitfalls and process of readying our body-mind to stabilize in pure consciousness. Read this book to go beyond mere glimpses to stabilize permanently in that blissful state. Use this book as a mirror to witness the face of your true Self!

Book Description
The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Tib. Lam rim chen mo) is one of the brightest jewels in the world’s treasury of sacred literature. The author, Tsong-kha-pa, completed it in 1402, and it soon became one of the most renowned works of spiritual practice and philosophy in the world of Tibetan Buddhism. Because it condenses all the exoteric sūtra scriptures into a meditation manual that is easy to understand, scholars and practitioners rely on its authoritative presentation as a gateway that leads to a full understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. Tsong-kha-pa took great pains to base his insights on classical Indian Buddhist literature, illustrating his points with classical citations as well as with sayings of the masters of the earlier Kadampa tradition. In this way the text demonstrates clearly how Tibetan Buddhism carefully preserved and developed the Indian Buddhist traditions. This first of three volumes covers all the practices that are prerequisite for developing the spirit of enlightenment (bodhicitta).

Book Description
Steps on the Path to Englightenment: The Foundation Practices marks the first volume of a much-anticipated, comprehensive commentary on the Lamrim Chenmo by the renowned Buddhist scholar, Geshe Sopa. This landmark commentary on what is perhaps the most elegant Tibetan presentation of the Buddhist path offers a detailed overview of Buddhist philosophy, especially invaluable to those wanting to enact the wisdom of the Buddha in their lives. In the Lamrim Chenmo, Tsongkhapa explains the path in terms of the three levels of practitioners: those of small capacity who seek happiness in future lives, those of medium capacity who seek liberation from the cycle of suffering, and those of great capacity who seek full enlightenment in order to benefit all beings. This volume covers the topics common to the first level: Tsongkhapa's explanations of the role of the teacher, his exhortation to take the essence of human existence, the contemplation of death and future lives, and going for the refuge. Given his vast knowledge and his experience in both Tibetan and Western contexts, Geshe Sopa is the ideal commentator of this work for the modern student of Tibetan Buddhism.

Book Description
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche inspired Matthieu Ricard to create this anthology by telling him that "when we come to appreciate the depth of the view of the eight great traditions [of Tibetan Buddhism] and also see that they all lead to the same goal without contradicting each other, we think, ‘Only ignorance can lead us to adopt a sectarian view.’" Ricard has selected and translated some of the most profound and inspiring teachings from across these traditions. The selected teachings are taken from the sources of the traditions, including the Buddha himself, Nagarjuna, Guru Rinpoche, Atisha, Shantideva, and Asanga; from great masters of the past, including Thogme Zangpo, the Fifth Dalai Lama, Milarepa, Longchenpa, and Sakya Pandita; and from contemporary masters, including the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and Mingyur Rinpoche. They address such topics as the nature of the mind; the foundations of taking refuge, generating altruistic compassion, acquiring merit, and following a teacher; view, meditation, and action; and how to remove obstacles and make progress on the path.
