These ancient texts, attributed to the great Tibetan meditation master Padmasambhava, offer traditional Vajrayana Buddhist teachings on the nature of the fundamental elements that make up our world. The translator's commentaries show us a practical view of how to use these life-energies for personal development.
Our ability to sense, imagine, think, and will constitute the Image of God within us. The subject of this book is how to cultivate these abilities so that they become the means for experiencing God's presence in the world. Insights and practices from modern psychology, such as Gendlin's focusing and Jungian active imagination, are also integrated into a holistic vision. This book includes meditation instructions (kavvanah) on Hebrew prayers, as well as a discussion of the relationship of the meditations presented in this book to Christian and Buddhist contemplative practices. Kingdoms of Experience is for both experienced and beginning meditators interested in learning a practical approach to meditation in the western tradition.
Just as the images on television are nothing more than light, so are our experiences merely the dance of awareness. Often we form attachments to, or feel enslaved by, these experiences. But they are only reflections. As easily as television pictures vanish when the channel is changed, the power of our experiences fades if we penetrate to the heart of reality the light of the natural mind within everyone. You Are the Eyes of the World presents a method for discovering awareness everywhere, all the time. This book does not discuss how to turn ordinary life off, it does not describe how to create beautiful spiritual experiences; it shows how to live within the source of all life, the unified field where experience takes place.
This is the first English translation of one of the most-revered texts in Tibetan Buddhism. As part of the rDzog-chen or Ati tradition, Primordial Experience was written by Manjusrimitra, an Indian disciple of the first teacher of Ati yoga. Legend has it that the teacher, in a debate about the Buddhist doctrine of cause and effect, opened his student's eyes to the reality of Ati yoga, the state of pure and total presence. This book is the result of that encounter. Included is a preface by Namkhai Norbu that places this text in the Ati tradition, as well as a substantial introduction about the theory of translation, the history of the text and its author, philosophical questions about the relation of Ati yoga to "Buddhist Idealism, " and the meditation practice linked with this text.
