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: $60.00
|
|
|
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.

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!
H.H. Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje

Our Price: $9.95
Members Price: $8.96

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.

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.

A unique and interesting look at how Yogacara philosophy influenced the development of tantra and Mahamudra. Developed by Asanga and Vasubandhu as a reaction to over theorization, Yogacara emphasizes individual experience and practice.
Excerpt.
We are going to be talking about Yogacara philosophy's relationship to Buddhist tantra. People have generally ignored how Yogacara philosophy influenced Buddhist tantra and its development. It is not discussed explicitly, even though it's quite patent in the writings of Buddhist tantra. You could trace different notions discussed in the tantric literatures back to Yogacara philosophy. Yogacara philosophy itself developed as a reaction against too much theorisation and came to emphasise individual experience and practice, hence the name "Yogacara", meaning practitioners of yoga. Yoga here doesn't mean twiddling with your toes, but meditation. So Yogacara, practitioners of yoga, meaning meditators. Yogacara as a system was developed by two brothers known as Asanga and Vasubandhu. They developed the philosophy in such a way that everything came back to one's practice. one's experience. You could not theorise about Yogacara philosophy without meditating. In fact, you could not be a Yogacara philosopher unless you meditate. When you look at the writings of Yogacara philosophy, you discover many tantric concepts mentioned either implicitly or explicitly. There are certain crucial concepts that both Yogacara philosophy and Buddhist tantra share, concepts such as transforming unhealthy or unwholesome psychological aspects of oneself into something higher. In other words, all our negativities - emotions such as passion, aggression, ignorance, stupidity, confusion, whatever they may be - are not perceived as being something that should be dispensed with, as much as transformed or mutated. The nature of one's psychological makeup is not altered, but the way the negativities manifest becomes totally different. That is a very important tantric concept, as many of you might know. Transforming one's neuroses and emotional instabilities are very much part of the tantric concept. Not to reject what is bothering you, but to learn to accept and transform it. In fact, you could trace those ideas in the original Yogacarin writings.

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.

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
