The first Tibetan to attain complete enlightenment was in all
probability the woman Yeshe Tsogyal, the closest disciple of
Padmasambhava, the master who brought Buddhism to Tibet in the
eighth century. This classical text is not only a biography but
also an inspiring example of how the Buddha's teaching can be put
into practice. "Lady of the Lotus-Born " interweaves profound
Buddhist teachings with a colorful narrative that includes episodes
of adventure, court intrigue, and personal searching. The book will
appeal to students of Tibetan Buddhism and readers interested in
the role of women in Buddhism and world religions.
Treasures from Juniper Ridge combines meditation and pith
practice
instructions in a way that is easy to apply and comprehend. It is a
compilation
of discovered teachings, termas, by the greatest master of
Vajrayana
Buddhism, Padmasambhava, hidden by his female disciple, Yeshe
Tsogyal.
Treasures is replete with pieces that are direct, profound, fresh,
and pertinent
to our times.
These various revelations are for all levels of practitioners. They
provide indepth explanations of assorted aspects of practice,
including: deity, death
and dying, non-conceptual meditation and recognizing mind nature.
The
book outlines ways to apply these teachings for the modern student,
while
remaining true to traditional principles.
"Padmasambhava's pith instructions are extremely important because
he
is not just a legendary figure or an ancient myth. He is an actual
person
who continuously carries out spontaneous activities, including
manifesting
as treasure revealers, so that there is always a fresh, unimpaired
teaching
that people can practice. This also ensures that Padmasambhava's
spiritual
influence and blessings are unceasing.
The special quality of these terma teachings is that they provide a
method
for accomplishment that is appropriate for each specific
generation, period
of time, and individual person who meets them. The treasure
teachings
he gave on the Juniper Ridge of Crystal Pearls contain the
essential meaning
of hundreds of such instructions."
--Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
