Daring Steps stands out among the multitude of books on Tibetan
Buddhism as being a uniquely accessible overview of the Buddhist
path that encompasses all three yanas, or traditional Buddhist
spiritual paths. Ringu Tulku renowned for both his insight and
approachable style consistently brings the teachings back to the
reader's own experience as he reveals the vital role of each path
in the attainment of genuine realization. Daring Steps draws on
several venerable sources, among them the Buddha's earliest
teachings and a Vajrayana text by the yogi known as Crazy Khyentse.
The author takes us from the most basic meditation practice to the
rarefied realm of Mahamudra, touching on a dazzling range of
teachings and techniques along the way. This lively presentation
will be welcomed as both a trustworthy introduction for the
beginning student and an indispensable reference for practitioners
at every stage of the path.
How could confusion arise as wisdom? According to the Mahamudra
view, confusion arises as wisdom when we realize that everything we
experience is the radiance of the mind's own nature. And what is
the nature of our mind? And how do we come to recognize that? These
are the questions Gampopa answers for his students in the text
commented upon here, known as the Great Community Talks. He shows
them--and now us--the path of deep understanding and meditation
that leads to the realization of Mahamudra, the "Great Seal" of the
true nature of reality.
Gampopa was a twelfth-century Buddhist monk who was a disciple of
Tibet's greatest yogi, Milarepa. He applied Milarepa's instructions
on meditation to reach the highest realization of Mahamudra. In
this volume of advanced teachings, Gampopa passes on these same
instructions in the form of heart advice on how to practice the
nature of mind and reach enlightenment.
Ringu Tulku's commentary on the text, taken from his own community
talks to students in Europe and America, makes Gampopa's teaching
wonderfully accessible. His gentleness, warmth, and humor, as well
as his wisdom and practicality, shine through in his own heartfelt
advice on how we too could transform confusion into wisdom.
This compelling study of the Ri-me movement and of the major
Buddhist lineages of Tibet is comprehensive and accessible. It
includes an introduction to the history and philosophy of the Ri-me
movement; a biography of the movement's leader, the meditation
master and philosopher known as Jamgon Kongtrul the Great; helpful
summaries of the eight lineages' practice-and-study systems, which
point out the different emphases of the schools; an explanation of
the most hotly disputed concepts; and an overview of the old and
new tantras.
Jamgon Kongtrul the Great (1813-1899) is a giant in Tibetan
history, renowned for his scholarly and meditative achievements,
but also for his energetic yet evenhanded work to unify and
strengthen the different lineages of Buddhism. The Ri-me movement,
led by Kongtrul and several other leading scholars of the time, was
a unifying effort to cut through interscholastic divisions and
disputes that were occurring between the different lineages. These
leaders sought appreciation of the differences and acknowledgment
of the importance of variety in benefiting practitioners with
different needs. The Ri-me teachers also took great care that the
teachings and practices of the different schools and lineages, and
their unique styles, did not become confused with one another. This
lucid survey of the Ri-me movement will be of interest to serious
scholars and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.
Connaissez-vous Tachi, le grillon tibetain qui vit dans le jardin
de Ditza? C'est un gentil grillon venu du Tibet qui fait de la
meditation et chante un mantra, une formule magique qui transforme
les choses et les gens. La formule magique est Om Mani Peme Hum Hri
et Ditza l'appelle le mantra des mamies. Tachi, Ditza et Couscous,
le chat, sont de bons amis et ont beaucoup d'aventures. "Preface
J'aime les histoires, particulierement celles qui sont originales,
droles et pleines de rebondissements. Quand je tombe sur un livre
comme cela je le lis d'une traite et ne m'arrete, a regret, que
lorsque j'arrive a la derniere page. Ce livre est un de ceux-la.
Tres bien illustre, il a en plus le merite de transmettre un peu de
l'Ancienne Sagesse preservee au Tibet pendant plus de mil ans. Je
souhaite qu'il divertisse et instruise petits et grands. Ringu

Menschen verwandelt. Ihr Mantra lautet Om Mani Peme Hum Hri, und
Ditza nennt ihn Mami Mantra. Tashi, Ditza und Pipo, die getigerte
Katze sind gute Freunde und erleben zusammen viele Abenteuer.
Vorwort Ich mag Geschichten. Besonders liebe ich solche mit
tieferer Bedeutung, Geschichten, die seltsam, lustig und
ereignisreich sind. Wenn ich ein Buch wie dieses zur Hand nehme,
kann ich es nicht weglegen, bis ich es ganz durchgelesen habe - und
dann finde ich es schade, dass es zu Ende ist. Diese Geschichten
fesseln nicht nur meine Aufmerksamkeit, sondern sie vermitteln auch
Verstandnis fur die alte Weisheit, die fur mehr als tausend Jahre
in Tibet bewahrt wurde. Auch die Art der Illustrationen in diesem
Buch ist sehr ansprechend. Ich wunsche und hoffe, dass dieses Buch
viele Menschen, jung und alt, unterhalten und lehren wird. Ringu
Tulku
