Amrita of Eloquence is a luminous portrait of the life of Khenpo
Karthar Rinpoche, one of the Kagyu lineage's most beloved and revered
teachers. Beautifully written by Lama Karma Drodul (Rinpoche's nephew
and disciple) and elegantly translated by Yeshe Gyamtso, Amrita of
Eloquence describes Khenpo Rinpoche and his life with humor, lyrical
beauty, and boundless affection. The book composed in the traditional
style of Tibetan spiritual biographies, but is nonetheless completely
accessible to modern readers. The importance of such biographies cannot
be overestimated: studying the life of one's guru brings devotion, and
devotion brings awakening.
Born in eastern Tibet in 1924, Khenpo
Karthar Rinpoche is one of the great masters of the Karma Kagyu
tradition. Rinpoche, who received most of his training and education in
Tibet before the Chinese invasion, is highly accomplished in
meditation, philosophy, and monastic arts.

Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche gives an
exceptionally clear and lucid explanation of
Aspiration for the Bardo, graciously giving the
necessary time and attention to its more obscure
points. His commentary, however, is not merely
a bare description of the sequence of events in
the process of dying and death, but is underscored
throughout with the purpose and urgency
of aspiration. We are clearly instructed on what
to practice and how to train ourselves at every
point of opportunity, in this very life "whether
in the waking state or the dream state" and
even within the interval experience itself.

Compassion NOW!

Our Price: $9.95

Too often compassionate feeling is left inactive. Compassion NOW! is a work not only focused on how love and compassion are the root of all Buddhist practices, but is a call to put these compassionate feelings into action in the world. From a teaching given in India in 2010, His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa sets forth that compassion for oneself is the starting point from which we can expand to other beings with whom we have a close connection and then further to an immeasurable compassion for all beings through the Mahayana practice of mind training, which he discusses with clarity and insight. An overview of the Vajrayana method of meditation on Chenrezik, the bodhisattva of compassion, also is included, where His Holiness guides our attention to the central role of the practice: cultivating compassion.

Four Dharmas of Gampopa

Our Price: $19.95

May my mind become one with the Dharma
May the Dharma make success on the path
May the path clarify confusion
May confusion dawn as wisdom
Gampopa's Four Dharmas is closely related to his Jewel Ornament of Liberation, a text that deals with the stages in our spiritual development. First you begin to discover the Dharma, then you make a good job of it, then the Dharma becomes applicable on the path so you begin to clarify confusion on the path, and finally you transmute that confusion into wisdom. Those are the four Dharmas and they really relate to the development of the individual on the path

Translator's Introduction
This book is a translation of a collection of stories about the eight great bodhisattvas. These stories are all taken from sutras and tantras taught by the Buddha, such as the Avatamsaka and the Lotus Sutras. They were collected and edited by the great Buddhist teacher Mipham Namgyal (1846 - 1912). Mipham was one of the greatest teachers in Tibet of his time, and his writings remain the basis for much of the study conducted by his own tradition, the Nyingma school of Buddhism, and by other traditions such as the Karma Kagyu.
In writing his book, Mipham combined edited extracts from his sources with his own writing about his subject. He wove the two together so skillfully that it is often not immediately obvious where the extract ends and his comments begin. Often he summarized long passages. He also omitted some of the sutras‚ didactic material in order to emphasize the stories he wanted to tell. Although we typically think of Buddhist sutras as teachings accompanied by sparing narrative, we discover in this book that the great sutras of the mahayana are repositories of extraordinary accounts of miracles and great deeds performed by buddhas and bodhisattvas.

Jewels from the Treasury: Vasubandhu's Verses on the Treasury of Abhidharma and the Commentary Youthful Play by the Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje
By: David Karma Choepel (translator)

Our Price: $49.95
Members Price: $44.96
|
|
|
Though the abhidharma is recognized as one of the major topics of the Buddhist teachings, up until now there have been few translations of any of the great texts on it available in a Western language.
This book contains a translation of one of the greatest presentations of abhidharma in any tradition, Vasubandhu's Verses on the Treasury of Abhidharma, along with the Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje's clear and concise explanation of it, Youthful Play. Taken together, these two works give a
thorough explanation of the abhidharma of the Foundation vehicle as taught in the northern Buddhist traditions that spread to Tibet as well as to China and
other East Asian countries. Indeed, this text will be helpful for those studying the abhidharma of all traditions.
This book gives thorough explanations of all the fundamental concepts and terms found in the Buddhist teachings. Beginning
from the aggregates, sense bases, and elements, it presents the nature of the phenomena we experience, describes the karma and afflictions that create
suffering, and shows the factors of the path that leads to liberation. In this way, it is like an encyclopedia of Buddhism that thoroughly explains the the
meaning of the many different technical terms found in the sutras, vinaya, and other Buddhist teachings if you are wondering what something you have read in a Buddhist text really means, there is a good chance it is explained in this book. It thus provides an invaluable aid to students who want to deepen their understanding not only of the abhidharma but of all the Buddhist teachings.

The realization of impermanence and the inevitability of death have acted as the motivating factor for one to realize the depth of suffering of samsara. Therefore, one has abandoned all concerns with temporal matters, but has given one's thoughts to the welfare of all sentient beings who are one's own mother and father. For their benefit, one would like to attain enlightenment. Furthermore, such an individual may want to achieve enlightenment in one lifetime with one body through use of the effective methods of Vajrayana." from Transcript

Foreword by the Ninth Kyabgon Traleg Rinpoche:
Gampopa, the peerless physician from Dakpo, who was repeatedly predicted
and praised by the Buddha, caused the teachings of the lineage of accomplishment
to become widespread in the Himalayan land of Tibet. All his disciples
gave rise to the sudden realization of Mahamudra. Among them were five hundred
great meditators, of whom the
greatest and most famous were the three Khampas.
One of these three was the Khampa
Saltong Shogom, who achieved the
greatest mastery of the channels and
winds through the practice of chandali.
His rebirth was Nyima Tashi the Birth-
Recollector, who devoted his life to silent
practice in sealed retreat. He saw the
faces of yidams, realized Mahamudra,and thereafter recounted his previous
births and prophesied his future ones. He
sang vajra songs that are still warm with his blessing.This brief account of his recollections,
prophecies of future births, and songs
has now been translated into English and
published. It is certain that disciples who
study it will plant the seed of liberation
in their continuums. I therefore rejoice in
and am grateful for its publication.

"The Quintessence of the Union of Mahamudra and Dzokchen presents in a very concise and inclusive way all that an individual actually needs to practice in order to attain awakening. This style of presentation, in its brevity and directness, is appropriate for the present time because our mental afflictions are strong and life is short. We do not have time to waste." Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche
The text, which is composed of eight songs, presents the quintessence of both mahamudra and dzokchen while celebrating their fundamental unity. Written in Karma Chakme's unique style of extreme simplicity and great profundity, it makes what is normally difficult to understand very easy and straightforward.

A Bouquet of Utpalas: Brief accounts of the lives of siddhas of Ga whom my guru actually met or whose stories he heard from trustworthy sources, set forth here as medicine to restore faith
Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche strongly encouraged Lama Karma Drodhul to request Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche to tell the stories of accomplished tantric practitioners (siddhas) from Kham, Eastern Tibet.
Most of the holy beings whose lives are recounted here began as ordinary people like us, and were not recognized emanations of buddhas or bodhisattvas. This book clearly demonstrates that we can, through diligence, achieve the same result.
Beautifully recorded by Lama Karma Drodhul, these are stories of siddhas that Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche actually knew. Traleg Kyabgn Rinpoche once remarked that there is nothing like these accounts of Siddhas of Ga.

Motivated by the purest of compassion, the Gyalwang Karmapas have taken rebirth continuously since the eleventh century. The present seventeenth incarnation, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, was born in Eastern Tibet in 1985. Seven years later, he was recognized by a letter of prediction and brought to Tsurphu Monastery, the seat
of the Karmapas in Tibet. Here, he received a traditional
education in practice and philosophy, and at the turn of the millennium, he journeyed over the Himalayas to India where he presently resides. Known for his clear and direct teaching style, the youthful Karmapa radiates the brilliance of his heritage. Traveling the Path of Compassion, his commentary on The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva connects this revered text with our daily lives and our deepest aspirations.

In all his songs, Barway Dorje appeals equally to our hearts and heads. He touches us with his humility, his devotion, and his concern for others�while instructing and advising us with his wisdom and eloquence.
