Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche offers insights from ancient Tibetan
Buddhist traditions to authentically delve into the heart of
creativity. Mention creativity, and what comes to mind? For many of
us, creativity is the province of a solitary individual with a
singular gift toiling away in service to their art. But what if we
looked at creativity through a wider lens, as a dynamic force that
animates us all and connects us with every being on the planet?
From this perspective, creativity is not just a spark igniting the
fire of inspiration. It is a way of living from the sacred space
within that is the source of infinite potential, love, compassion
and joy. In Spontaneous Creativity, acclaimed author and meditation
master Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche draws on the ancient wisdom of the
Tibetan Boen Buddhist tradition to help us show up fully for our
lives and express our creative gifts for the greatest good. Guided
meditations and practices will help you to: * meet your own
creative nature * recognize and release the 'pain identity' that is
holding you back * awaken the essential powers of openness,
awareness, inspiration, ripening and manifesting * serve others
with joy and compassion The teachings of Boen Buddhism have been
introducing human beings to their true nature for centuries, and
they are as fresh today as ever. Tenzin Rinpoche writes, 'My
deepest wish is for you to receive great benefit from these
teachings as you explore them, take them into your heart and feel
them come alive in your life.'
It is my sincere desire that this simple and elegant practice of
the Five Warrior Syllables, which is based on the highest teachings
of the Tibetan Boen Buddhist tradition of which I am a lineage
holder, will benefit many beings in the West. Please receive it
with my blessing, and bring it into your life. Let it support you
to become kind and strong and clear and awake.--Tenzin Wangyal
Rinpoche One of the world's oldest unbroken spiritual traditions is
the Boen Buddhist tradition of Tibet. This wisdom path has
survived, thanks to the efforts of a handful of dedicated lamas
such as Boen lineage holder Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Now, with
Tibetan Sound Healing, you can connect to the ancient sacred sounds
of the Boen practice--and through them, activate the healing
potential of your natural mind. The Boen healing tradition invokes
the Five Warrior Syllables--seed sounds that bring us to the
essential nature of mind and release the boundless creativity and
positive qualities that are fundamental to it. Through the medicine
of sound, you can clear obstacles in your body, your energy and
emotions, and the subtle sacred dimensions of your being. In this
integrated program, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche gives you the tools to
access wisdom and compassion and use the vibration of sacred sound
to cultivate the healing power within your body's subtle channels.
The spiritual heritage of the Boen is rich with methods to guide
all beings on the path to liberation. With Tibetan Sound Healing,
you are invited to learn from a master of this ancient lineage--and
discover the power of sacred sound to purify your body, connect
with your inherent perfection and completeness, and awaken
spiritual virtue.
In Awakening the Luminous Mind, meditation teacher Tenzin Wangyal
Rinpoche guides you to find refuge within instead of searching for
support outside of yourself. Using the heart instructions of Dawa
Gyaltsen, an 8th-century Tibetan meditation master, as a vehicle to
guide contemplative practice, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche opens your
eyes to the gifts hidden in your ordinary experiences. The
meditations presented in the book and in the accompanying audio
dowload provide a direct way to meet the challenges of life as we
encounter them. Fully incorporating these practices into daily life
will help you open and transform your perceived limitations into
unlimited possibilities. They will help you dissolve self-doubt and
self-judgment and discover the wisdom and light inherent within you
in every moment.
This book is the first to trace the history of Chod practice in
Tibet's indigenous Bon tradition. Chod (cutting through) is a
meditative practice in which the practitioner imagines offering his
or her body in sacrifice through elaborate contemplative
visualization. Although a meditative practice, Chod is not done
sitting comfortably on a cushion in a shrine room, but instead is
often practiced in terrifying places like cemeteries or charnal
grounds. The feelings of fear that result are used by the Chod
practitioner to cut through his or her own ego. Chod contains
elements of early shamanism, of sutric and tantric teachings also
found in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, and of the Tibetan highest school
of Dzogchen.
Dzogchen, meaning "great perfection" in Tibetan, is an advanced
practice associated particularly with Bon, the native religion of
Tibet, and the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. Both these
traditions describe their teaching as comprising 'nine Ways' or
paths of practice leading to enlightenment or realization, and in
both classifications, Dzogchen is the ninth and highest Way. While
its immediate associations are with these two traditions, Dzogchen
is now taught in all Tibetan sects. In this book, Anne Klein, an
American scholar of Buddhism, and Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, a native
Tibetan who was the first to bring Dzogchen teachings to the west,
provide a study and translation of the Authenticity of Open
Awareness, a foundational text of the Bon Dzogchen tradition. This
will be the first time any text from this tradition has been
translated into any Western language, and as such will be a major
contribution to the study of Tibetan religion and Eastern thought
more generally. Klein and Rinpoche also provide extensive
introductory and explanatory material that situates the text in the
context of Tibetan thought and makes it accessible to
nonspecialists.
In the shamanic world-view of Tibet, the five elements of earth,
water, fire, air, and space are accessed through the raw powers of
nature and through non-physical beings associated with the natural
world. In the Tibetan tantric view, the elements are recognized as
five kinds of energy in the body and are balanced with a program of
yogic movements, breathing exercises, and visualizations. In these
Dzogchen teachings, the elements are understood to be the radiance
of being and are accessed through pure awareness. Healing with
Form, Energy, and Light offers the reader healing meditations and
yogic practices on each of these levels. Tenzin Rinpoche's purpose
is to strengthen our connection to the sacred aspect of the natural
world and to present a guide that explains why certain practices
are necessary and in what situations practices are effective or a
hindrance. This is a manual for replacing an anxious, narrow,
uncomfortable identity with one that is expansive, peaceful, and
capable. And the world too is transformed from dead matter and
blind processes into a sacred landscape filled with an infinite
variety of living forces and beings.
Dzogchen, meaning "great perfection" in Tibetan, is an advanced
practice associated particularly with Bon, the native religion of
Tibet, and Nynigma School of Tibetan Buddhism. Both these
traditions describe their teaching as comprising nine Ways or paths
of practice leading to enlightenment or realization, and in both
classifications, Dzogchen is the ninth and highest Way. While its
immediate associations are with these two traditions, Dzogchen is
now taught in all Tibetan sects. In this book, Anne Klein, an
American scholar of Buddhism, and Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, a native
Tibetan who was the first to bring Dzogchen teachings to the west,
provide a study and translation of the Authenticity of Open

will be the first time any text from this tradition has been

introductory and explanatory material that situates the text in the
context of Tibetan thought and makes it accessible to
nonspecialists.
Although the Dzogchen teachings are principally familiar to
Westerners through the teachings of the Nyingma school, they also
survive in the ancient Bon Religion of Tibet. "Wonders of the
Natural Mind "presents Dzogchen as taught in the Zhang Zhung Nyan
Gyud, the fundamental Bon text. The book summarizes the main points
of Dzogchen and its relation to the various systems of Bon
teaching. In offering these teachings, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
provides the reader with a vivid and engaging portrait of Bon
culture as he interweaves the teachings with his personal story and
reflections on the practice of Dzogchen in the West.
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.
Recall a moment in your life when you felt complete, satisfied,
fully alive, at home in yourself. Imagine that it is not only
possible for you to feel that way now and then, but most of the
time. This is what soul retrieval practice offers. The wisdom of
Tibetan Boen Buddhism, one of the world's richest and most ancient
unbroken spiritual traditions, offers powerful soul retrieval
practices and rituals. In his new book, author and teacher Tenzin
Wangyal Rinpoche brings out the most essential elements of these
teachings, presenting them in a way that is simple, clear and
fresh. The practices of soul retrieval have the power to help us to
reconnect with nature, with ourselves and with the people around
us. Through the practices of connecting with the elements of earth,
water, fire, air and space, we have the potential to transform
everything in our lives: to find joy, re-energise relationships,
feel more connected and productive at work, dissolve physical pain
and bring more happiness and wellbeing to others. These practices
provide much-needed insights and tools for our hectic, fast-paced
lives.
