is the same. Mountain Dharma contains
everything you need to undertake any practice,
from the most basic to the tantrayana,
including how to conduct a proper retreat.

clear, you do not have to obtain sixty different
volumes of texts. If you become well
acquainted with this text, you have everything
you need to achieve enlightenment.”

incorporating insights on how to benefit
others through the traditions of scholarship
and realization. and includes a comprehensive
exploration of the phenomenon of death.
We are offered a chapter on Balaha, a horse
known to be the emanation of the bodhisattva
Chenrezik and a practice method that corresponds
to Balaha's heroism

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.

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.

Like the light of the sun, moon, and stars, may love,
compassion, and wisdom shine forth. May they strike every single living being
and dispel the darkness of ignorance, attachment, and hatred that has lurked
for ages in their being. When any living being meets with another, may it be
like the reunion of a mother and child who have long been separated. In a
harmonious world such as this, may I see everyone sleep peacefully to the music
of nonviolence. This is my dream.

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.

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.

The two biographies translated here are treasures revealed by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye, who was an emanation of the translator Vairochana, the subject of the second of the two biographies. Vairochana was a disciple of Guru Padmasambhava, the subject of the first biography. The purpose of these biographies is to inspire the reader. We are encouraged to vividly imagine the deeds of Guru Rinpoche and Vairochana, both so that we appreciate those deeds and so that we understand something of what such beings are. These stories are of people utterly unlike us in one sense and identical to us in another. Nevertheless, all of the qualities demonstrated by Guru Rinpoche and Vairochana are said by them to exist within us right now. We are in no way inferior to them in nature and are therefore potentially capable of doing everything they have done. However, because we have as yet not freed our potential from the limitations imposed on it by ignorance, our present state is very different from their present state. If we were incapable of achieving what these beings have achieved, there would be little point in studying their deeds. At the same time, seeing how extraordinary that achievement is can remind us that we have not yet realized our full potential. Therefore these stories are both uplifting and humbling.
