Knowledge is as infinite as the stars in the sky;
There is no end to all the subjects one could study.
It is better to grasp straight away their very essence—
The unchanging fortress of the dharmakaya.

Buddha Heart, Buddha Mind: Living the Four Noble Truths

SOLD OUT!

New edition. As human beings we possess one common desire: the need for happiness and a meaningful life. Imbued with the Dalai Lama's vivacious spirit and sense of playfulness, this book offers guidance for developing a daily practice in the quest to find true fulfilment.

"If you show other people kindness, love and respect, other people will also show you the same. This will give you more happiness. If you show other people anger and hatred, other people will also show the same, and you will lose your own happiness. Anger diminishes our thinking power - we cannot judge right and wrong. The power of judgment, of analysis, is one of the best human qualities. If that is lost, it is very sad. Still, sometimes when we face certain circumstances, it is necessary to react strongly, but this can be done without anger...When I say "brothers and sisters", I really feel that all beings are no different from my own brothers and sisters in wanting happiness and not wanting suffering." The Dalai Lama.
Flash of Lightning in the Dark of Night

His Holiness presents here a detailed manual of practical philosophy based on the Bodhicharyavatara by Shantideva. He explains and amplifies the text verse by verse, alluding throughout to the experience of daily life and showing how anyone can develop bodhichitta, the altruistic wish for happiness for the sake of others.
Dzogchen

Not currently available!

These teachings on Dzogchen, the heart essence of the ancient Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, were given by the Dalai Lama to Western students in Paris, London, Helsinki and San Jose. Exploring this esoteric subject in print for the first time, His Holiness offers the reader an unprecedented glimpse into this pinnacle of the Buddhist vehicles.

Paying tribute to the uniqueness of Dzogchen, the Dalai Lama sets it within the wider spectrum of Tibetan Buddhism as a whole. He explains the essence of Dzogchen practice and addresses questions such as the special features of dzogchen and what are the crucial principles of the other Buddhist paths which a dzogchen practitioner should know. This is a book of uncommon richness.

"His Holiness the Dalai Lama brings to his explanation of Dzogchen a perspective and breadth which are unique... to receive such teachings from His Holiness is, I feel, something quite extraordinary." Sogyal Rinpoche.

"For our time, His Holiness the Dalai Lama embodies the completely pure essence of the Buddha's wisdom and limitless compassion for all beings. His knowledge of the teachings of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism in general, and the Dzogchen teachings in particular, is impeccable. His deep understanding and generosity of spirit make him an unerring and reliable guide through the subtleties of the profound vehicle of Tibetan Buddhist practice known as Dzogchen." Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche.

Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena
Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena

SOLD OUT!

This is one of Longchenpa`s famous Seven Treasuries collection, commonly known as the Choying Dzod, on the Dzogchen practice of trekcho, or "cutting through". This collection discusses the primordial nature that is the ground of all experience, the view, meditation, and conduct of the spiritual path, and the final freedom that is the fruition of that path. This volume contains the source verses along with the Tibetan text, which provide a poetic summary of the subject matter dealt with at length in the commentary by Longchenpa, published in a companion volume, the Treasure Trove of Scriptural Transmission.

About the Choying Dzod, Longchenpa states,"Though the topics in this text are so profound that ordinary people will find it difficult to fathom their meaning, I have presented them without adulterating them with more common themes, and so have ensured that these teachings concerning the vajra heart essence, the most majestic spiritual approach, will last for a long time in this world. To those of you fortunate enough to have a devoted interest in this sublime spiritual approach, my earnest advice is: this text will serve as your eyes, so treat it with the highest respect."

"Simply having this book in one`s home is more valuable than having statues or stupas, for it truly is a relic of the dharmakaya." Chagdud Tulku.
Openess Clarity Sensitivty

Out of Stock!

Author: Rigdzin Shikpo

In this series of talks the author stresses the importance of having confidence in the nature of mind - the indestructible heart essence of our being. He helps us to dispel our own self doubt and hesitations, opening the way for us to relate to the teachings of the Dzogchen tradition to which he belongs.

"Buddhist practice is about developing stability of mind through appreciating the three qualities of openness, clarity and sensitivity - not just in meditation but also in daily life. The three qualities pervade all our experience and as we practise they are gradually revealed or unveiled. Buddhist practice removes those things that prevent the three qualities expressing themselves in their fullness within our experience and thus prevent them from radiating out into the world. Openness, clarity and sensitivity are the essence of our being and the source of all that is good, genuine and true about us; they are the source of life itself and give rise to the sense that there is something to attain, something to realise, something beyond ourselves and even beyond the world, to which we can aspire." Rigdzin Shikpo.

Tsele Natsok Rangdrol.
