In today's tumultuous age photography has become a pervasive
pursuit. Everywhere you look everyone seems to have a camera and
everyone seems to be taking passionate photos on favourite themes,
selected subjects and preferred people, who personally spark their
wide-eyed interest. As with anything in life, the importance is not
in the accomplishment of what photography can do (for you), but
rather in the love which you bring to the art of photography. The
transformative photographer must approach his subject with a
comprehensive, evolutionary, detached but warm love, coupled with
humour and an ability to leave things unaltered and fundamentally
free.
Consciously claim your natural heritage which is your life through
these photographs and sensitise yourself to this wonderful world
and beautiful planet. This title is an award-winning finalist in
the General Photography category of the National Best Books 2008
Awards, sponsored by "USA Book News".
This book is an essential guide on the often perilous path to
self-transformation. B. Simhananda invites the reader to explore
one's inherent potential, through an exceptional and groundbreaking
study of Gampopa's famous twelfth-century Buddhist classical works.
Let your mind be inspired and your soul stirred through this
impeccably written masterpiece. Divided in two sections, one part
presents the author's modern liberal rendition of Gampopa's Root
Text, and the other, in complete alignment with Tibetan tradition,
remains the author's own contemporary commentaries on the mentioned
work, helping the reader to extend his comprehension of the various
topics. Readers of Buddhist literature and philosophy will
appreciate "Gampopa's Precious Garland" in a new mode of
understanding and in today's contemporary style of written
expression. Once again, B. Simhananda offers us, in a modernized
way, an interpretation of his profound understanding of Gampopa's
teachings.

format, the book helps all kids to unearth a veritable wealth of
kindly benefits, and to uncover the spontaneous joys that naturally
accompany such an imaginative approach to creative contemplation. A
CD is included; appropriate for children five to twelve years of
age.
This book renders golden homage to the esteemed 12th century
Tibetan master and teacher Gampopa. B Simhananda. It offers the
reader an in-depth contemporary rendition of Gampopa's original
book, which has inspired within the last nine centuries thousands
of Vajrayana, or Essence Mahamudra, practitioners. In his astute
contemplative commentaries, the author has consistently kept true
to the spirit of Gampopa's treasured work, which over the ages, has
proven to be an essential study companion for all students on the
arduous climb to the peak of illumination and ultimate clarity. All
things being subject to cyclic recurrence, this remarkably modern
rendition of the small Gampopa masterpiece is once more proving to
be an indispensable tool on the progressive path to freedom. It is
spiritually bound to touch the heart and clarify the mind of the
present-day generation of erstwhile disciples, irrespective of the
preferred dharma-vehicle chosen, or deity espoused.
A stunning photographic journey that unveils the changing face of
Buddhism throughout the ages. Each photograph that composes this
remarkable work of art, is accompanied by a profound thought,
translated in three languages (English, French, Italian). Through
his superb images and his renowned penmanship, Simhananda leads us
on an unedited discovery of the universe of the Buddha.
