The sacred arts play an essential, intrinsic role in

Tibetan Buddhist practice. Here, one of the great
practitioners and master artists of our time presents
a guide to the Tibetan Buddhist path, from

shows how visual representations of the sacred in
paintings, sculptures, mandalas, and stupas can be
an essential support to practice throughout the path.
This work, based on the author's landmark Tibetan
text, The Path to Liberation, includes basic Buddhist
teachings and practices, clearly pointing out the
relevance of these for both the sacred artist and the
practitioner, along with an overview of the history
and iconography of Buddhist art.
Absorption in No External World: 170 Issues

In Mind-Only Buddhism
By: Jeffrey Hopkins
Our Price: 59.95
This stand-alone book is the final volume of a trilogy

on Mind-Only that Hopkins composed over the last
twenty-two years. Here Hopkins presents opinions on
crucial issues from twenty-two commentaries on
Dzong-ka-ba's The Essence of Eloquence, considered
by his followers to be so challenging that it is called
his steel bow and steel arrow, hard to pull but
powerful when one succeeds. The careful and intense
analysis with which these scholar-yogis probe these
170 issues over time opens a door into patterns of
thought that constitute the environment of the text.
Hopkins' lively style draws the reader into the drama,
stimulating the reader's metaphysical
imagination.

Aryadeva's Four Hundred Stanzas on the

Middle Way
By: Aryadeva / Gyel-tsap
Our Price: 29.95
Gyel-tsap Dar-ma-rin-chen states that Aryadeva's

Four Hundred Stanzas was written to explain how,
according to Nagarjuna, the practice of the stages of
yogic deeds enables those with a Mahayana
motivation to attain Buddhahood. Both Nagarjuna
and Aryadeva urge those who want to understand
reality to induce direct experience of ultimate truth
through philosophic inquiry and reasoning.
Aryadeva's text is more than a commentary on
Nagarjuna's Treatise on the Middle Way, because it
also explains the extensive paths associated with
conventional truths. The Four Hundred Stanzas is
one of the fundamental works of Mahayana Buddhist
philosophy, and Gyel-tsap's commentary is arguably
the most complete and important of the Tibetan
commentaries on it.

Buddhism's view of life and death as can be found in

Lama and a group of eminent neuroscientists and
psychiatrists. The Dalai Lama regularly dedicates
several days out of his busy schedule to engage in
these kinds of meetings, which resulted in more than
a decade of fruitful dialogue between Buddhism and
Western science. Is the mind nothing more than an
ephemeral side-effect of the brain's physical
processes? Are there forms of consciousness so
subtle that science has not yet identified them? How
does consciousness begin? How do we know what we
know? Buddhism, with its emphasis on empircal
observation of mental processes, offers insight into
these thorny questions, while the Dalai Lama's own
incisive, clear approach and open-minded pursuit of
knowledge both challenges and offers inspiration to
Western scientists.

react? This book offers methods to help us develop

cherish others as well as ourselves, we create a
happier, relaxed mind and more fulfilling relationships,
as well as realizing our life's purpose in a meaningful
way.

from Their Intrinsic Nature, often referred to by its
Sanskrit title, Dharmadharmatavibhanga, is part of a

the Indian Buddhist tradition. Maitreya, the Buddhas
regent, is held to have entrusted these profound and

appearance and reality, this work shows that the path
to awakening involves leaving behind the inaccurate
and limiting beliefs we have about ourselves and the
world around us and opening ourselves to the limitless
potential of our true nature. By divesting the mind of
confusion, the treatise explains, we see things as they
actually are. This insight allows for the natural
unfolding of compassion and wisdom. This volume
includes commentaries by Khenpo Shenga and Ju
Mipham, whose discussions illuminate the subtleties of
the root text and provide valuable insight into the
nature of reality and the process of awakening.

Rongzom Chkyi Zangpo wrote this treatise in

Buddhism in Tibet that was spurred by the influx
of new translations of Indian Buddhist texts,

For political and religious reasons, adherents of
the new schools of Tibetan Buddhism fostered
by these new translations cast the older tradition
of lineages and transmissions as impure and
decadent. Rongzompa composed the work
translated here in order to clearly and definitively
articulate how Dzogchen was very much in line
with the wide variety of sutric and tantric
teachings espoused by all the Tibetan
schools.

By: Magee, William
Our Price: 22.95
Nature (Tib. rang bzhin, Skt. svabhava or prakrti) is a

topic in many Indian and Tibetan philosophical texts,

century), founder of the Middle Way School, who
refuted a fabricated nature in his Treatise on the
Middle. In that seminal text he puts forth the three
basic criteria for nature: it must be something that is
non-fabricated, independent, and immutable.
Nagarjuna does not explain whether he is speaking of
an existent nature, but Candrakirti (sixth century),
considered by many to be the founder of the
Consequence School, explicitly identifies the triply-
qualified nature as emptiness, the reality
nature.

Teachings on the Songs of Jigten Sumgon
and Milarepa
By: Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen
Our Price: 22.95
In Tibet, vajra songs became popular when Milarepa

gave teachings in that style to his disciples. His
example influenced all Tibetan Buddhist schools,
particularly the Kagyu lineages. People commonly
memorized such songs and sang them with beautiful
melodies. But vajra songs are much more than
pleasant tunes or ordinary poetry. A vajra song
reflects the enlightened mind of its author by
encapsulating precisely profound meaning in just a
few words. Thus, it can be difficult for the
unenlightened to penetrate their meaning.

nature. This is a great introduction to Tibetan

Seven-Point Mind Training A Tibetan Method

for Cultivating Mind and Heart
By: Alan Wallace
Our Price: 16.95
In this society with its hurly-burly pace demanding of

our time, it is ever so easy to let life slip by. The
process of simply existing is not necessarily
meaningful. And yet, there is an unlimited potential
for meaning and value in this human existence. The
Seven-Point Mind Training is to make the liberating
passage from the constricting solitude of self-
centeredness to the warm kinship with others which
occurs with the cultivation of cherishing others even
more than oneself.
This mind training technique is especially well-suited
for an active life. It does not require that we
withdraw into seclusion, but that we re-examine all
of our relationships - to family, friends, enemies, and
strangers - and gradually transform our responses to
whatever life throws our way.

perfect enlightenment in one lifetime. Drawing from
his enormous textual erudition and mastery of
Tibetan oral tradition, he shows how these two
meditative systems can be unified into a single ,
integrated approach to realizing the ultimate nature
of consciousness. Karma Chagme was a major
lineage-holder of the Karma Kagyu tradition of
Tibetan Buddhism, and his writings have also
become central to the Payul Nyingma order, making
him an ideal figure to integrate two of the great
meditation systems of Tibet: Mahamudra and
Atiyoga.
Speech of Delight, Mipham's Commentary

on Shantarakshita's Ornament of the Middle
Way
By: Shantarakshita, Ju Mipham Rinpoche
Our Price: 39.95
Shantarakshita's Madhyamakalamkara is a
condensed presentation of later India "Middle Way"
philosophy and is structured around one recurring
theme, namely, the impossibility of entities being
consistently analyzable as either single individuals
(i.e., wholes) or plural comsposites (parts). In
contrast to Shantarakshita's encyclopedic and
multifaceted treatment of Indian philosophy in his
well-known Tattvasamgraha, the tour de force of his
Madhyamakalamkara is to see all the seemingly
diverse Buddhist and non-Buddhist ontoligies as
hinging on failed attempts to solve part-whole
problems.

Study of Svatantrika
By: Donald S. Lopez, Jr.
Our Price: 39.95
Madhyamika is considered to have had two

subschools, Svatantrika and Prasangika. The
Prasangika school of Candrakirti is better known than
Svatantrika, in part because the major Svatantrika
texts are preserved only in Tibetan translation. The
Svatantrikas, however, made important contributions
to Buddhist philosophy in their expositions of the
nature of reality, the role of reasoning in the process
of enlightenment, and in their delineations of the
paths to nirvana. The synthesis of Yogacara and
Madhyamika philosophy by the Svatantrika master
Santaraksita represents the final development of
Buddhist thought in India. In Tibet, Svatantrika was
the first Indian Buddhist school to gain currency,
prior to the translation of the works of Candrakirti
into Tibetan.

Translated by Ruth Sonam
The wish for freedom, the altruistic intention to be of

emptiness constitute the three principal aspects of
the path to enlightenment, three insights that form
the indispensable support for all the practices of both
sutra and tantra.
Having recognized that any state within cyclic
existance involves suffering, the practitioner
develops a strong wish for freedom. But to cut the
root of cyclic existence it is necessary to know how
things exist at the most fundamental level.

Training the Mind in the Great Way

By: Dalai Lama 1st, Mullin
Our Price: 12.95
The attitude of self-cherishing and the habit of

egograsping are considered by Buddhist teachers as
the two greatest enemies to happiness and peace of
mind. By practicing the lojong methods for
developing great compassion and the blissful wisdom
of emptines presented in this famous teaching by the
First Dalai Lama, these two syndromes can be
transformed and eventually overcome.
"For rne, the lojong tradition starts as the heart of
the Buddha's message of peace. It teaches us how to
regard others with the dignity and care that they
deserve, and also how to transcend the limitations of
conventional egograsping. Kindness is a universal
need, and it is something that we all appreciate
being shown. "-The Dalai Lama

the use of powerful inner yogas that manipulate the
inner energies and constituents of the mind and
body, leading to the realization of the fundamental

Tsong-Kha-Pa's Final Exposition of Wisdom

By: Jeffrey Hopkins
Our Price: $29.95
Sale Price: 23.96
You save $5.99!
In fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Tibet there was

great ferment about what makes enlightenment
possible, since systems of self-liberation must show
what factors preexist in the mind that allow for
transformation into a state of freedom from
suffering. This controversy about the nature of
mind, which persists to the present day, raises many
questions.
This book first presents the final exposition of special
insight by Tsong-kha-pa, the founder of the Ge-luk-
pa order of Tibetan Buddhism, in his Medium-Length
Exposition of the Stages of the Path, as well as the
sections on the object of negation and on the two
truths in his Illumination of the Thought: Extensive
Explanation of (Chandrakirti's) "Supplement to
(Nagarjuna's) Treatise on the Middle."' It then
details the views of his predecessor Dol-po-pa Shay-
rap Gyel-tsen, the seminal author of philosophical
treatises of the Jo-nang-pa order, as found in his
Mountain Doctrine, followed by an analysis of Tsong-
kha-pa's reactions. By contrasting the two systems-
Dol-po-pa's doctrine of other-emptiness and Tsong-
kha-pa's doctrine of self-emptiness- both views
emerge more clearly, contributing to a fuller picture
of reality as viewed in Tibetan Buddhism.

Two Truths
By: Guy Newland
Our Price: 24.95
If Bodhisattvas see no real sentient beings, no real

suffering, how is it they are moved by great
compassion? Much of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy
is a quest to answer this question by articulating a
middle way: a view of existence sturdy enough to
sustain a coherent ethical system without betraying
Buddha 's vision of emptiness (sunyata). Buddhist
perspectives on ethics and emptiness center on the
distinction between two truths-the convential and the
ultimate. Newland's work lays out the Madhyamika
philosophy of two truths as seen through the eyes of
Tibetan scholar-yogis of the Geluk-ba order.

the teachings of Bodhischitta or the teachings of
Dzogchen as their own system of practice, this book

but as a deconstructed inner and outer which are
fundamentally intertwined.

Our desires and our fears are woven into a tangled

web of conflicts. We want both to eat dessert and to
be thin. We want money dont want to work.
Anything that threatens our sense of self and its
striving for happiness is perceived as a threat to our
very lives-the response to which is defensiveness,
anger, aggression, and violence.
Vinegar into Honey proposes a new paradigm for
understanding the relationship between stress,
anxiety, anger, and depression, with detailed
instructions for working with anger and other painful
emotions. The process of transforming suffering into
equanimity and compassion is central in Buddhist
psychology and practice. Each of the steps in Vinegar
into Honey reflects views and methods drawn from
Buddhist tradition. Leifers work holds promise from
psychotherapists and their patients, individuals
seeking to understand and work with their anger, and
people interested in the interface of Buddhism and
psychotherapy.

Relationship
By: , Alexander Berzin

A relationship with a spiritual teacher can be the

most rewarding and life-enhancing experience in
one's life. However, it also may be fraught with
problems. Student reactions to their spiritual
teachers may range from extreme deification to deep
mistrust, and these responses prevent the benefits of
a healthy relationship.

misunderstandings and reexamines traditional
Tibetan Buddhist teachings to reveal methods to heal
wounds and develop healthy relationships that can
be applied to benefit students in any spiritual
tradition.

of Dzogchen in the Native Bon Tradition of
Tibet
By: Wangyal Tenzin
Our Price: 18.95
The Essence of Dzogchen in the Native Bon Tradition

of Tibet
Although the Dzogchen teachings are principally
familiar to Westerners through the teachings of the
Nyingma school, they also survive in the ancient Bon
religion of Tibet. "Wonders of the Natural Mind"
presents the Dzogchen teachings based on the
Zhang Zhung Nyan Gyud, the fundamental Bon text,
summarizing the main points of Dzogchen and
explaining its relation to the various systems of Bon
teaching. In offering these teachings, Tenzin Wangyal
Rinpoche provides the reader with a vivid and
engaging portrait of Bon culture as he interweaves
the teachings with his personal story and reflections
on the practice of Dzogchen in the West.

Working with Anger
By: Thubten Chodron
Our Price: 14.95
Anger plagues all of us on a personal, national, and

international level. Yet, we see people, such as the
Dalai Lama, who have faced circumstances far worse
than many of us have faced - including exile,
persecution, and the loss of many loved ones - but
who do not burn with rage or seek revenge. How do
they do it?
Working with Anger presents a variety of Buddhist
methods for subduing and preventing anger, not by
changing what is happening, but by framing it
differently. No matter what our religion, learning to
work with our anger is effective for everyone seeking
personal happiness as well as world peace.

By: H.H. the Dalai Lama, Dzongkaba, Jeffrey
Hopkins
Our Price: 18.95

Tantra with an extraordinarily detailed teaching on a

of Dzong-ka-ba's The Great Exposition of Secret
Mantra, one of his most important works and a
monument of Tibetan Buddhist literature. Jeffrey

steps of Yoga Tantra practice. This is an invaluable
book for anyone who is practicing or interested in
Buddhist tantra in general.
You Are the Eyes of the World

By: Longchenpa
Our Price: 18.95
Just as the images on television are nothing more

than light, so are our experiences merely the dance
of awareness.
Often we form attachment 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 out 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.
Zurchungpa's Testament
Our Price: $29.95
Sale Price: 23.96
You save $5.99!
Zurchungpa's Eighty Chapters of Personal Advice was

the final teaching given by the great Nyingma master
Zurchung Sherab Trakpa. The original text consists of
580 maxims, covering the entire path of Dzogchen
from fundamental teachings through to a series of
pith instructions that bring the Dzogchen view to life.
Much of the meaning of these often cryptic
instructions could be lost to the reader without
further explanations, so this book contains a
complete, detailed commentary on Zurchungpa's text
by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Originally intended as
essential instructions for a group of practitioners in
three-year retreat, it will undoubtedly serve as an
indispensable guide to anyone who seriously wishes
to practice the Great Perfection.
