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.
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.
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.
In his brilliant and searching commentary, Mipham re-presented
Shantarakshita to a world that had largely forgotten him, defending
his position and showing how it should be understood in relation to
the teaching of Chandrakirti. To do this, he subtly reassessed the
Svatantrika-Prasangika distinction, thereby clarifying and
rehabilitating Yogachara-Madhyamaka as a bridge whereby the highest
philosophical view on the sutra level flows naturally into the view
of tantra. Mipham's commentary has with reason been described as
one of the most profound examinations of Madhyamaka ever written.
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.
