The Tibetan divination system called "Mo" has been relied upon for centuries to give insight into the future turns of events, undertakings, and relationships. It is a clear and simple method involving two rolls of a die to reveal one of the thirty-six possible outcomes described in the text. This Mo, which obtains its power from Manjushri, was developed by the great master Jamgon Mipham from sacred texts expounded by the Buddha.

The Gateway to Knowledge is a condensation
The Gateway to Knowledge is a condensation of the Tripitaka and its

Volume IV of this rich source book elucidates, The Four Seals of
the Dharma, which are that all conditioned things are impermanent,
everything defiling is suffering, nirvana is peace, and all
phenomena are empty and devoid of self-entity. It also includes the
four right discriminations, which are meaning, Dharma, definitive
words, and ready speech as well as the four reasonings that have
been taught in the sutras: 1) the principle of efficacy, 2) the
principle of dependence, 3) the principle of reality, and 4) the
principle of valid proof and the four reliances. Every volume in
this series includes the Tibetan text and the English translation
on facing pages. The Tibetan master, Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche
(1846-1912) is an exceptional treasure of wisdom, compassion and
scholarship. His accomplishments in practice, learning, composition
and teaching are immense. The student of the Gateway to knowledge
can begin to comprehend the meaning of the major works on Buddhist
philosophy and of the traditional sciences. When you want to
extract their meaning you need and " expert system," a key. The
gateway to Knowledge is like that key, a magical key - it opens up
the treasury of precious gemstones in the expansive collection of
Buddhist scriptures.
In the "Madhyamakalankara," Shantarakshita synthesized the views of
Madhyamaka and Yogachara, the two great streams of Mahayana
Buddhism. This was the last great philosophical development of
Buddhist India.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991) was one of the most respected and influential Tibetan Buddhist teachers of our age. There was something remarkable about his presence that impressed everyone who met him - a quality of mind that comes across even in photographs. Here is his memoir of a remarkable life of study, teaching, and solitary retreat, told with a wealth of anecdotes and stories. It will be an inspiration to the readers of his numerous books - as well as to all Buddhist practitioners, who will welcome this rare opportunity to hear the experiences of a highly realized being in his own words. The book also provides an authentic view of Tibetan culture and of the hardships endured by the Tibetans after the Chinese takeover. The second half of the book is a treasury of recollections about Khyentse Rinpoche by his wife; his grandson and heir, Sechen Rabjam Rinpoche; and, other lamas and friends who knew him well.
A core text of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, presented in English for the first time, with commentary by Jamgon Mipham, one of the Nyingma tradition's most lucid and brilliant minds. A concise commentary by the eighth-century Indian Buddhist master Padmasambhava on a chapter from the "Guhyagarbha Tantra," which gives an overview of the different Buddhist and non-Buddhist philosophical views, including the Great Perfection (Dzogchen), with an explicative commentary by the nineteenth-century scholar Jamgon Mipham (1846-1912). Padmasambhava's text is a core text of the Nyingma tradition because it provides the basis for the system of nine vehicles (three sutra vehicles and six tantra vehicles) that subsequently became the accepted way of classifying the different Buddhist paths in the Nyingma tradition. Mipham's commentary is the one most commonly used to explain Padmasambhava's teaching. Mipham is well known for his prolific, lucid, and original writings on many subjects, including science, medicine, and philosophy, in addition to Tibetan Buddhist practice and theory.
Luminous Essence is a complete introduction to the world of tantric thought and practice. Composed by the renowned Tibetan master Jamgon Mipham (1846-1912), the text provides an overview of the theory and experiential assimilation of a seminal tantric scripture, the Tantra of the Secret Essence (Guhyagarbha Tantra). Embodying the essence of tantric practice, this text has been a central scripture in Tibetan Buddhism for well over a thousand years. Mipham's explanation of this text, here translated for the first time, is one of the most celebrated commentaries on the Tantra of the Secret Essence, which today occupies an important place in the tantric curriculum of Tibetan monastic colleges. Luminous Essence is a specialized guide meant for initiated tantric practitioners. To fully appreciate and assimilate its message, it should be studied under the guidance of a qualified teacher by those who have received the appropriate empowerments, reading transmissions, and oral instructions.
