This Is A New Release Of The Original 1884 Edition.

The power of the breath has been recognized for millennia as an integral part of health and well-being. In Awakening the Sacred Body, teacher Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche makes accessible the ancient art of Tibetan breath and movement practices. In clear, easy-to-understand language, he outlines the theory and processes of two powerful meditations - the Nine Breathings of Purification and the Tsa Lung movements - that can help you change your relationship to yourself, to others and to the world. The simple methods presented in Awakening the Sacred Body and in the accompanying online video focus on clearing and opening your energetic centres to allow the natural human qualities of love, compassion, joy and equanimity to arise. When sadness releases, joy is able to arise. When anger releases, love becomes available. When prejudice releases, equanimity prevails. And when lack of kindness ceases, compassion is present. These practices, which focus the mind and breath together while performing specific body movements, will help you discover your inner wisdom and express your greatest potential.

Dharma Paths, by one of the most highly respected lamas in North America, is a broad and in-depth introduction to Tibetan Buddhism that cuts through the complexity of the tradition. Without assuming an academic background or knowledge of Buddhist terminology, it presents both basic and quite advanced material, revealing a flexible approach oriented to our individual capacities. Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche has the gift of making the essence of the vast Tibetan teachings surprisingly accessible.
