Practical and accessible, faithful to enduring traditions yet innovatively modern, these easy-to-follow techniques will benefit both experienced mediators and novices alike, and explain the wonders of meditation in a way never seen before.
Tsoknyi Rinpoche is a reincarnate lama educated in the Tibetan
Buddhist
The collection of teachings presented in As It Is, Volume II, is selected from talks given by the Tibetan meditation master, Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche between 1994 and 1995. The emphasis in Volume I was on the development stage practice and in Volume II primarily on the completion stage. However, to make such divisions is merely for the convenience of the editors. In the reality of Rinpoche's teaching method, no such separations exist. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche was someone with extra¬ordinary experience
and realization, a fact known throughout the world. It is evident
to everyone that he was unlike anyone else when it came to pointing
out the nature of mind, and making sure that people both recognized
it and had some actual experience. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche was an incredible master, both learned and
ac¬complished. The great masters of this time -- the 16th Karmapa,
Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche -- all venerated
him as one of their root gurus and a jewel in their crown
or¬nament. He was someone who achieved the final realization of the
Great Perfection.
Fearless Simplicity is about training in the awakened state of
mind, the atmosphere within which all difficulties naturally
dissolve. Here, the gifted Tibetan meditation master and author of
Carefree Dignity, Drubwang Tsoknyi Rinpoche, in his exceptional and
skillful teaching style, guides us through the methods to be at
ease with our surroundings and ourselves. He shows us how to
de¬velop confidence and be in harmony with every situation as the
basis for true compassion and intelligence.
'Rinpoche is a powerful and eloquent link between the great yogi practitioners of old Tibet and our bewildering 21st century' - from the Foreword by Richard Gere Tsoknyi Rinpoche's story is an unusual one: as a rebellious young man, he fled a monastery to marry and raise a family, then returned to Nepal and has since become a preeminent Tibetan Buddhist teacher. As a married man raising two daughters, Tsoknyi Rinpoche has interesting views on how to balance a life dedicated to Buddhist practice with the demands of a husband and father. In addition, he has a keen interest in the ongoing dialogue between Eastern philosophy and Western research, especially in neuroscience. His writing reflects this awareness of the Western psyche while also imparting the earliest tenets of Buddhism. OPEN HEART, OPEN MIND offers Rinpoche's extraordinary history as an example of how to lead a compassionate life, regardless of status, tradition or circumstances. Accessible and relevant to every variety of reader, this is an illuminating guide from a man who truly is a bridge between ancient wisdom and the modern mind.
Adeu Rinpoche's story is not about the horrors he endured under the
Communist takeover of Tibet--he himself notes that many other
people underwent much worse hardships, not to mention all those
that died--but rather the way in which he told his tale. While
describing what happened to him and many others, how he survived
and finally his release from prison he spoke in a straightforward,
dignified manner without any resentment, anger or sadness. He never
added mental anguish on top of an already untenable experience. He
viewed what happened to him as a ripening of his own individual
karma, he accepted responsibility for the abuse he suffered; in
fact, he repeatedly stated that each person suffered according to
their own karma, as he said, "I felt that whatever befalls you is a
ripening of the specific karma that you created in the past."
