For practitioners on the paths of Dzogchen and Mahamudra, one of
the greatest joys is to personally receive oral instructions from a
realized teacher. The excitement of being able to train based on
that advice is further enhanced by the stimulation and support that
guidance manuals provide. All of the selections presented in
Perfect Clarity offer incredible teachings that are inspiring and
vital. Pith instructions are so simple and direct that we can
easily apply them without fear of mistakes.
These days, the most effective style of teaching is not lengthy
scholarly explanations but rather direct guidance manuals The
Dzogchen tantras themselves were written in a style that shrouds
and conceals the meaning so that only a master who is extremely
well-versed in oral instructions and treatises is able to clarify
the meaning. On the other hand, based upon oral instructions a
guidance manual is a short, comprehensive teaching written in a
clear and simple manner. Such summaries of the Mahamudra and
Dzogchen teachings contain all the teachings that a worthy
practitioner requires to reach the state of primordial
enlightenment in this very life.
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
The amazing collection in Perfect Clarity is rounded out by an
introduction by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, a preface by Marcia Dechen
Wangmo, biographical data of the authors, a glossary, line drawings
and photos and Tibetan source material references.
In life and in death, in meditation and in sleep, every
transitional stage of consciousness, or bardo, provides an
opportunity to overcome limitations, frustrations, and fears. The
profound teachings in this book provide the under- standing and
instruction necessary to turn every phase of life into an
opportunity for uncontrived, natural liberation.
Like the Tibetan Book of the Dead, "Natural Liberation" is a term,
a "hidden treasure" attributed to the eighth-century master
Padmasambhava. Gyatrul Rinpoche's lucid commentary accompanies the
text, illuminating the path of awakening to the point of full
enlightenment. "Natural Liberation" is an essential contribution to
the library of both scholars and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.
"Dispeller of Obstacles" is the first in a new series that will
include video, audio, photos, and commentaries to support practice
and is the heart essence of the accomplished 9th-century master
Padmasambhava. This hidden treasure is a revelation with a rich
history that is explained in the book. In addition to the root text
and classical commentaries by Chokgyur Lingpa and Jamyang Khyentse
Wangpo, the treasure-revealers themselves, there are also
explanations by modern-day masters such as Tulku Urgyen and Orgyen
Topgyal Rinpoches. This extensive cycle contains teachings and
practices for the preliminaries up to and including Dzogchen.
Linking to a fresh treasure has the power to imbue us with hot and
juicy blessings that invigorate our being and generate devotion and
joy. Just as we prefer to have fresh food, these treasure teachings
are endowed with a very special quality that has not been
interpolated by anyone else, but has come directly from
Padmasambhava by means of one of his disciples appearing as a
present-day incarnation. The teaching is then spread to people for
their immediate practice.
Padmasambhava, the Indian mystic and tantric Buddhist master, is
second only to Buddha Shakyamuni as the most famous personage in
the Tibetan tradition of Buddhism. In the ninth century, he made
the journey across the Himalayan Mountains to establish Buddhism
for the people in that country. Now, more than 1,000 years later,
we are able to hear and be touched by his voice as contained within
this collection of oral advice. The selections in Dakini Teachings
are timely advice - short, direct instructions relating to the
three levels of Buddhist practice: Hinayana, Mahayana, and
Vajrayana. The main emphasis of Padmasambhava's teaching is that
spiritual knowledge must be personalized and not remain as mere
theory. The book includes an introductory discourse by Tulku Urgyen
Rinpoche and a short biography of Padmasambhava by Jamgon Kongtrul
the First.
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche exactly defines deity practice from the
Dzogchen perspective, offering key points on how to engage in this
discipline as a pure Dzogchen yogi. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche was one
of the greatest Dzogchen Masters of the last century. His teaching
style was direct, simple, and powerful, a comfortable ambiance
created by his compassionate humility that opened one up to being
able to absorb his profound words. He was fearless in teaching the
view, meditation, and conduct of the Great Perfection, due to the
strength of his realization. Although Dzogchen Deity Practice uses
the peaceful and wrathful practice as its basis, the efficacy of
these teachings on development and completion stage practices apply
to many other sadhanas as well. It is a hands on guide to engaging
in the skillful methods of Vajrayana that prepare us for this
life's experiences as well as what will unfold when we die and are
in the intermediate state or the Bardo. The beautiful poetry
offered expresses a reality beyond our mundane everyday life and
helps our minds to be open and aware.
The Light of Wisdom, the Conclusion, presents detailed explanations
of the activities of a Vajra Master and Buddhist practices to clear
away hindrances on the path and enhance realization. The book is a
combination of three texts:
The root text, The Gradual Path of the Wisdom Essence is oral
instructions of Padmasambhava, recorded by his chief female
disciple, Yeshe Tsogyal. Padmasambhava established the Buddhist
doctrine in Tibet during the eight century. He concealed teachings
in the form of hidden treasures, to be revealed at an appropriate
time in the future. The Light of Wisdom by Jamgon Kongtrul, one of
the most prominent Buddhist masters of nineteenth-century Tibet, is
an extensive commentary on this sacred scripture. Entering the Path
of Wisdom consists of annotations on the commentary by Jamyang
Drakpa, a student of Jamgon Kongtrul, dictated to Jokyab Rinpoche.
The root text of Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo, a terma revealed by the
great treasure-finder Chokgyur Lingpa, and its commentary by
Kongtrul Rinpoche, the great translator in person, form together a
complete scripture that embodies all the tantras, statements and
instructions of the Nyingma School of the early translations, which
is most rare to find in the past, present, or future. ...I find it
important that all Dharma practitioners study and reflect upon this
book.
? Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
It is correct that it will be quite difficult to practice the
entire Gradual Path of the Wisdom Essence, so you should use what
is directly appropriate for your training. It is never said that
you should practice an entire root text as Light of Wisdom contains
the complete path for different kinds of individuals, both of
Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana. But since its title is the Wisdom
Essence, it means that its ultimate practice is Dzogchen.
? Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
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.
" Don't mistake mere words to be the meaning of the teachings.
Mingle the practice with your own being and attain liberation from
samsara right now."
Padmasambhava
Padmasambhava is the primary master of Vajrayana, the teachings for
our time. Out of his great compassion and wisdom, he instructed his
main disciple Yeshe Tsogyal to conceal terma treasures to be
revealed at the destined time for future practitioners. The
profundity of this advice is meant to be personally applied by all
individuals in all circumstances. It is a classic work, which
contains valid truth for anyone who sincerely wants to follow a
spiritual path.
"The chief compiler of Padmasambhava's teachings was Yeshe Tsogyal,
an emanation of a female Buddha. There may be some people who
believe that only men can attain enlightenment, but her life is
proof to the opposite. The awakened state of mind is neither male
or female."
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, from Introductory Teachings
Written in the eighth century, "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" is
the most important of many mortuary texts of the Nyingma sect of
Tibetan Buddhism and is commonly recited by or to a person facing
imminent death. Robert A. Thurman's expert translation--with
in-depth commentary, supplementary and background information, and
even the occasional illustration--presents the Buddhist tradition
in terms that even the most inexpert of readers can understand.
What emerges in the pages is Buddhism's profound message that
death, far from being an end point, is actually a primary step on
the path to liberation. "Escrito en el siglo VIII, "El libro
tibetano de los muertos "es el mas importante de varios textos
mortuorios de la secta Nyingma del budismo tibetano, y normalmente
es recitado por o se le recita a una persona a punto de morir. La
traduccion experta de Robert A. Thurman--la cual incluye
comentarios exhaustivos, informacion suplementaria y de fondo y
hasta algunas ilustraciones--presenta esta tradicion budista en
terminos que hasta el mas inexperto de los lectores podra entender.
Lo que resalta en estas paginas es el mensaje profundo del budismo
que la muerte, lejos de ser un punto final, es un paso primario en
la senda hacia la liberacion."
A text belonging to the same cycle as "The Tibetan Book of the
Dead," this instruction on the method of self-liberation presents
the essence of Dzogchen, "The Great Perfection," regarded in Tibet
as the highest and most esoteric teaching of the Buddha. Teaching
the attainment of Buddhahood in a single lifetime, this text was
written and concealed by Guru Padmasambhava in the eighth century
and rediscovered six centuries later by Karma Lingpa. The
commentary by the translator is based on the oral teachings of
Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche and Lama Tharchin Rinpoche.
This work offers a new translation of the ancient Buddhist text
originally composed by Padmasambhava, an Indian spiritual master of
the eighth century. Hidden in the mountains of Tibet, the text
remained concealed until the 14th century when it was discovered
and revealed by Karma Lingpa. A manual of instructions designed to
facilitate the inner liberation of the dead or dying person at the
moment of death, this new translation of one of the world's
greatest spiritual classics includes a detailed introduction by
Dzogchen Buddhist master Chogyal Namkhai Norbu.
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.
El Bardo Thodol, tambien llamado El Libro Tibetano de los Muertos,
es la guia espiritual de iniciacion en el arte de la muerte.
Traducido por primera vez al espanol, prologado y anotado por Juan
Bautista Bergua, incluye ademas un relato personal. Aparentemente
escrito por Padma Sambhava, el monje tibetano fundador del
lamaismo, El Bardo Thodol son textos funerarios donde se detallan
las practicas y ceremonias que deben realizarse para que el proceso
de la muerte transcurra armonicamente. El Bardo es un estado
intermedio entre la Muerte y el "Renacimiento," y tradicionalmente
se cree que dura 49 dias. El objetivo consiste en preparar la
conciencia del difunto para el siguiente "renacer" al mundo
material. Segun la tradicion tibetana, el libro debe ser leido al
menos una vez en la vida, ya que permite conocer de antemano lo que
sucedera. Como lo describe el propio Juan B. Bergua: "Los ritos
funerarios propiamente dichos comprenden la lectura del Bardo para
que sepa lo que le va a ocurrir...para alcanzar el Paraiso
Occidental de Amitaba." Ediciones Ibericas y Clasicos Bergua fue
fundada en 1927 por Juan Bautista Bergua, critico literario de los
clasicos y celebre autor de una gran coleccion de obras de la
literatura clasica. Las traducciones de Juan B. Bergua, con sus
prologos, resumenes y anotaciones son fundamentales para el
entendimiento de las obras mas importantes de la antiguedad.
LaCriticaLiteraria.com ofrece al lector a conocer un importante
fondo cultural y tener mayor conocimiento de la literatura clasica
universal con experto analisis y critica.
