The United States, primarily a Judeo-Christian nation until recently, now encompasses theological groups relatively unknown in the early days of the republic. Buddhism -- the world's fourth largest religion after Christianity, Islam and Hinduism -- has been steadily gaining adherents in America.
THE BUDDHA, a two-hour documentary from Emmy Award winner David Grubin, relates the life of the Indian sage who famously gained enlightenment as he sat beneath a fig tree two-and-a-half millennia ago. This film tells the Buddha's story through painting and sculptures by some of the world's greatest artists and tracks his biography across the sweeping landscapes of northern India.
The testimony of contemporary Buddhists, from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.S. Merwin to the Dalai Lama, provide insight into the ancient narrative of the man who never claimed to be God or God's emissary, but merely a human being who, in a world of unavoidable pain and suffering, had achieved a serenity that others, too, could find.
This documentary tells the story of his life, a journey especially relevant in our own times.

How do you reconcile a commitment to non-violence when faced with violence? Why do the poor often seem happier than the rich? Must a society lose its traditions in order to move into the future? These are some of the questions posed to His Holiness the Dalai Lama by filmmaker and explorer Rick Ray. Ray examines some of the fundamental questions of our time by weaving together observations from his own journeys throughout India and the Middle East, and the wisdom of an extraordinary spiritual leader. This is his story, as told and filmed by Rick Ray during a private visit to his monastery in Dharamsala, India over the course of several months. Also included is rare historical footage as well as footage supplied by individuals who at great personal risk, filmed with hidden cameras within Tibet. Part biography, part philosophy, part adventure and part politics, “10 Questions for The Dalai Lama” conveys more than history and more than answers - it opens a window into the heart of an inspiring man.

Amongst White Clouds is an intimate insider’s look at students and masters living in scattered retreats dotting China’s Zhongnan Mountain range. These peaks have reputedly been home to recluses since the time of the Yellow Emperor, some five thousand years ago. It was widely thought that the tradition was all but wiped out, but this film emphatically and beautifully shows us otherwise.
Inspired in part by the noted book by Bill Porter (Red Pine), Road To Heaven: Encounters With Chinese Hermits, and filmed on location in China by American director Edward A. Burger, the film takes an unforgettable journey into the hidden tradition of China’s Buddhist hermit monks.
One of only a few foreigners to have lived and studied with these elusive practitioners, Burger is able, with humor and compassion, to present their tradition, their wisdom, and the hardship and joy of their everyday lives among the clouds.

The Amulet of Mahamudra is an engaging teaching by Thrangu Rinpoche based on two mahamudra texts on that never have been presented in the West. The Amulet of Mahamudra offers both beginning and advanced students accessible and clear approaches to determining the ulitmate nature of mind. The first text, which is profound and concise, was written by Thangtong Gyalpo, an accomplished 13th century siddha known for his extensive activity, having built over 100 iron bridges in Tibet. Several centuries later, Taranatha, the great teacher of the Jonang lineage, wrote a detailed commentary on Thangtong Tulku’s text which is also called The Amulet of Mahamudra. Both texts are based on the Shangpa Kagyu tradition. Thrangu Rinpoche’s teaching is based on both texts which provide a different approach to Mahamudra than the traditional Karma Kagyu mahamudra teachings. This wonderful teaching was translated by David Karma Choepel.

According to the Buddha, the nature of our minds is awareness, clarity and emptiness. If we experience our minds in this way, we live in harmony with all of those around us and experience great inner wisdom, clarity and compassion. But discovering and experiencing this inner essence can be difficult without a method or teachnique. Therefore the Buddha taught tranquility and insight meditation to discover and uncover this nature that we all possess. This weekend seminar teaches both the theory and practice of tranquility and insight meditation based on the Mahamudra meditation teachings of the Karma Kagyu tradition. All four of lama Kathy’s talk s are lively and humorous and have extensive question and answer sessions.

This is the story of an ancient culture tucked away in the largest mountains in the world. It is a rugged land, whose joyful people strive to sustain themselves under great odds. While the Art of Dying explores the transition to death as revealed in the ancient Tibetan scriptures and practiced through local customs (throughout the centuries), this work is more a celebration of life! The Danish filmmakers underwent great difficulties to capture contemporary rural Tibet from the Tibetan perspective. The creative photography is often startling in detail and delicately captures the majesty of the landscape to make this an absorbing work.

Over time our shamatha practice can become dull. We feel discouraged and lose confidence. What to do about this? Lama Kathy explains that aspiration and inspiration are the bridge to move from simply pacifying your mind to an interest in awakening. By renewing our connection with the Three Jewels (Buddha- the one who has attained some liberation, Dharma - the means by which the liberation is attained, and Sangha - the skillful bodhistattvas who aid and inspire) and the Three Roots (Lama - the root of blessing, Yiddam - the root of accomplishment, and Protectors - the root of dharma activity) we re-establish a personal resonance with enlightened mind. Lama Kathy’s accessible and engaging teaching provides skillful methods for renewing this connection through verses, practices, inspiring stories, thoughts, prayers and words. Lama Kathy’s public talk on The Core of Self Worth is also included in this DVD set.

In an intimate setting, Rinpoche presented teachings that are beneficial for both beginning and advanced practitioners. Beginning with a teaching on the equality of all beings and the origins of the Kagyu lineage in the Samadhiraja Sutra, Rinpoche went on to present clear and profound teachings on the benefits of accumulating and dedicating merit, taking the Nyungnay Vow, and the qualities of Buddha nature. In talk three, Rinpoche presented a spectacular, detailed and accessible talk on emptiness of self and emptiness of phenomena, approaching these topics from the perspective of analytical meditation, Madhyamaka logic and Vajrayana practice. In the afternoon sessions, Rinpoche provided extensive opportunities for questions and answers. Lama Yeshe Gyamtso's translation was superb. Four talks. Although this is vintage video, recorded with a single camera, the tight images of Rinpoche and Lama Yeshe in this intimate setting are clear and quite beautiful.

The Venerable Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche was born in the province of Kham in eastern Tibet in 1939. When he was just thirteen months old, he was recognized as a major tulku, or incarnate teacher. At the age of eight, Trungpa Rinpoche received ordination as a novice monk. Following this, he engaged in intensive study and practice of the traditional monastic disciplines, including traditional Tibetan poetry and monastic dance. His primary teachers were Jamgön Kongtrül of Sechen and Khenpo Gangshar—leading teachers in the Nyingma and Kagyü lineages. In 1958, at the age of eighteen, Trungpa Rinpoche completed his studies, receiving the degrees of kyorpön (doctor of divinity) and khenpo (master of studies). He also received full monastic ordination. The late 1950s were a time of great upheaval in Tibet. As it became clear that the Chinese communists intended to take over the country by force, many people, both monastic and lay, fled the country. Trungpa Rinpoche spent many harrowing months trekking over the Himalayas (described in his book, Born in Tibet). After narrowly escaping capture by the Chinese, he at last reached India in 1959.

"Creating Buddhas: The Making and Meaning of Fabric Thangkas" is the story of a western woman who became a fabric thangka maker. Now, with great love and devotion, she is bringing the gift of fabric thangka to our culture.
Fabric thangka is a silk embroidered and appliquéd art form in Tibetan Buddhism and is also known as Applique Thangka, Brocade Thangka, and Silk Thangka. Fabric thangka is so rare that in some places it is only seen once a year, and then for only for a few hours.
Trained in Dharamsala, India for nine years, Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo is one of the few female makers in world and one of the only fabric thangka makers in the west. This film also explores Leslie’s life-changing journey of discovering fabric thangka, her apprenticeship in Dharmasala, India, the step-by-step by process of producing a fabric thangka, and the history and spiritual importance in Tibetan Buddhism. Through this film, we see her produce a thangka of the female Buddha Tara. In a sense, Leslie is like Tara. She became a master of a male tradition and we see fabric thangka through feminine eyes.

Unprecedented access and intimate knowledge inform this richly detailed and beautifully filmed portrait of a secret Tibetan Buddhist ritual, the Mani Rimdu festival, and the remarkable spiritual teacher, Trulshik Rinpoche, who leads and preserves this centuries-old tradition.

Each autumn, Trulshik Rinpoche, the spiritual leader of the region, goes from his home in Thubten Chöling to Chiwong Monastery to preside over the festival. His name means “destroyer of illusion.” In Destroyer of Illusion we meet the men who undertake these tasks. We see the world through their eyes—a world where the mountains are filled with gods, and a human being's potential is limited only by his imagination and his will.

In the Third Turning of the Wheel of Dharma, Buddha taught the Shentong view that emptiness is not merely empty, but rather is endowed with the essence of wisdom. This is Buddha-nature. In this teaching, Thrangu Rinpoche emphasizes the importance of cultivating certainty in both the Rangtong (self-empty) and Shentong (other-empty) views as a necessary foundation for practicing the deity practices of the creation stage of secret mantra as well as the completion practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen's Mountain Doctrine teaches the view (Buddhan-nature). This is what is most needed in order to engage in practices to realize the nature of mind. Dolpopa presents the nature of the ground, how to practice the path and what result is attained through the practice. Doplopa teaches the view through inference rather than through direct experience. Rather than presenting practice instructions, Dolpopa tells us how to take inference as the path. In these DVD's Thrangu Rinpoche presents detailed teachings and commentary on Dolpopa's Mountain Doctrine.

These teachings present a path for working with emotions that is firmly grounded in the teachings of the Buddhist treatises. At the same time, the format, practice category names and practice sequence used by Rinpoche to present this material are complementary to western psychology and are easily understood by western practitioners. Rinpoche’s introductory talk outlines the view of emotions and methods for working with emotions in the three yanas. The next four talks present a powerful series of practices that encourage practitioners to identify and work with their own particular patterns of emotional reactivity. These stages of practice (mindful gap, clear seeing, letting go, and bringing emotions directly into our practice) are explained with extraordinary skill and clarity. In the concluding talk, Rinpoche relates what he has taught back to the three yanas and provides instructions on taking suffering and happiness to the path. These teachings are engaging, delightful, and highly useful in a direct and personal way.

In Doris Dörrie's ENLIGHTENMENT GUARANTEED, two brothers, Uwe (Uwe Ochsenknecht) and Gustav (Gustav-Peter Wöhler), set off from Munich for Japan. Gustav has been planning the trip for some time--he is going to a retreat in a Buddhist monastery. But Uwe is undertaking the trip on a whim at the spur of the moment. Unexpectedly, Uwe's wife and children walked out on him, so he is going on the trip because he needs to be with his brother. On their first night in Tokyo, the brothers go out for dinner but then suffer a cascading series of disasters as they manage to lose their way, their money, their bank cards, and then, in the organized chaos of a massive Tokyo interchange, each other. Gustav is desperate and, hilariously, finds himself singing for money in the subway. Magically, it works.

Lama Yeshe Gyamtso offered the teaching on faith and insight at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra in August 2008. In showing how those two aspects of spiritual development not only do not contradict, but in fact complement each other, he used the traditional model of the four types of faith as his outline: awe, aspiration, belief, and certainty.
The content of this teaching is best described in Lama Yeshe's own words:
"Many people have experienced, as beginners, almost a dichotomy or split between two aspects of what we regard, rightly or wrongly, as spiritual development. One aspect is the cultivation of faith and devotion-we think of that as the more emotional aspect of spirituality. The other aspect is the development of wisdom. As beginners we tend to think of that as more cognitive aspect-we try to learn; we try to understand.

“Grant your blessings to myself and all beings that our minds may go to the Dharma.
Grant your blessings that the Dharma may become a path.
Grant your blessings that the path may clarify bewilderment.
Grant your blessings that bewilderment may arise as wisdom.”
Despite their brevity, these lines express the entirety of the Buddha’s teachings. In this masterful exposition, Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche illuminates their meaning in a series of six talks. Beginning with the story of Lord Gampopa, the great bodhisattva who integrated the Kadampa lineage of Atisha with the mahamudra lineage of Milarepa, it continues with the motivation for turning one’s mind to Dharma, developing the correct motivations for practice, concise explanation of the methods of vajrayana practice, and finally mahamudra.

In his morning talk, The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche teaches about the Buddhist path of practice, skillfully relating each topic to issues that arise for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community of practitioners. The topics Rinpoche addresses include conceptual labeling and discrimination, working with the emotion of desire or passion in the three yanas, and cultivating healthy relationships. Rinpoche concluded by talking about Buddha's teaching on the fundamental nature and potential of all sentient beings. The afternoon session of this program was devoted to questions and answers. This teaching provides a precious opportunity for dharma practitioners in the LGBT communty to hear a major Buddhist lineage holder teach and answer questions about Buddhist views and practice as they relate to LGBT issues.

The balance of power shifts uneasily as they make their annual salt trek across the Himalayas. A visually striking and spiritually captivating portrait of life in one of the world's most extraordinary places, Himalaya is both intense drama and a gorgeous tapestry of the fast disappearing traditions of Tibetan life.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama: Kalachakra Tantra Initiation
|
|
|
In the summer of 2000 His Holiness the Dalai Lama traveled to the monastery in Spiti, high in the Himalayas, near the Tibetan border, to give the complete Kalachakra teachings to thousands. The higher meditations of the Kalachakra Tantra were highly secret, but because of past and future events, there is now a tradition of giving the initiation to large public gatherings.
The Kalachakra initiation has been passed from generation to generation for thousands of years until the present day. His Holiness received the initiations and the transmission of teachings on the Creation and Completion Stages from his Vajra Teacher Kyabje Ling Dorje Chang, the Ninety-seventh Patriarch to Tsong Khapa's Throne, and the transmission of the Commentary to the Root Tantra from Serkhong Tukse Rinpoche.
Mystic Fire Video and our production company, Hither Hills, has followed closely the unfolding of the Dalai Lama's teachings for some years now. We have published, edited and recorded many of His Holiness' Buddhist teachings in the west. This event will make the library of the teachings complete. Naturally, when we heard that he would be giving this unprecedented complete transmission of the Kalachakra, we were interested in participating in its documentation.
We found an able partner in His Holiness' Foundation for Universal Responsibility, and embarked upon what has become a fruitful collaboration. This is the first ever in-depth recording of the Kalachakra teachings and initiations.

that are not particularly religious teachings but
rather something fundamental to everything
that we cherish in life. The second theme was
understanding among religious traditions. His
Holiness expressed his respect and appreciation
of all major traditions in today's world, and urged
us to see what is universal among them,
especially the cultivation of loving kindness and
compassion.

In 1958, the Chinese invaded Kham in tibet, destroying monasteries and imprisoning monks. In the previous summer, Khenpo Gangshar foresaw that the difficulties Tibet was already experiencing were going to escalate. In order to help the monks progress rapidly on the path so they could meet their challenges skillfully, he gave this teaching on naturally liberating whatever you meet. Thrangu Rinppoche, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche received this profound cycle of teachings. Khenpo Gangshar summarizes this teaching at the outset:
“A worthy student is one who aspires to practice the profoundest of the profound and secret vajrayana - the essential oral instructions of all the anuttara yoga tantras or the nature of the realization of effortless ati. To meet the needs of such a student, these three points should be taught: The preliminary steps of mind training, the main practice of pointing-out, and the subsequent application, combining the profound advice into key points.”
The preliminary steps include the analytical meditation of the pandita. The main practice, the resting meditation of a kusulu is presented in two points: resolving and distinguishing. The profound advice includes instructions on the wisdom of emotions, taking the bardo state as the path and taking sleep as the path.
In these talks Thrangu Rinpoche provides clear and concise commentary on this amazing text. Rinpoche concludes several talks with meditation sessions. Others conclude with question-answer sessions with students.

Knowledge of Healing (DVD)
|
Our Price: $29.95
Members Price: $26.96
|
|
|
The Knowledge of Healing is an illuminating examination of Tibetan medicine, which has developed over two millennia into an amazingly successful method of healing.
Unlike Western medicine, based on biochemistry, Tibetan medical thinking (which is strongly rooted in Buddhist principles) views the human body as governed by an elaborately organized system of energies flowing through a network of channels. In the 12th century, the Gyüshi (Knowledge of Healing) was created, a text codifying this intricate system. After flourishing for centuries, most Tibetan medical schools were destroyed by the Chinese in the 1950’s and 1960’s, and many physicians were executed.
Speaking from exile, the Dalai Lama argues for the value of Tibetan medicine, while his personal physician Dr. Tenzin Choedrak describes the principles behind it. We follow physicians in India and Siberia treating patients for a variety of ailments from paralysis to heart disease, and meet researchers in Israel and Switzerland to see how clinical studies are testing the effectiveness of Tibetan medicine.

This is the masterful portrait of the late 16th Gyalwa Karmapa,
the great Tibetan Buddhist master known as the Black Hat Lama. The
Karmapa is the head of the Karma Kagyu lineage, one of the four great
lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. His line of successive reincarnations has
its origins in the 13th century when it was the first to identify tulkus,
reincarnations of Buddhist teachers. He is recognized as the embodiment
of the teachings of his lineage, one that traces its source from
teacher to disciple through Tibet‘s great teachers Milarepa and Marpa
to India‘s Naropa and Tilopa all the way back to the Shakyamuni Buddha.
Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, was born in Tibet in
1924. During the 1959 invasion by the People‘s Republic of China, the
Karmapa left Tibet and settled in Rumtek, Sikkim, India. The
construction of his new Rumtek monastery was completed in 1966.
In 1974, the Karmapa set out on his first world tour; he undertook a
second tour in 1977. While traveling in 1981, he died in Zion,
Illinois, north of Chicago. He was returned to Rumtek for cremation.
The film journeys with him in North America where he visited the Hopi
Nation, offered teachings and performed the Black Crown Ceremony (Vajra Makut),
enjoyed everything from zoos to video arcades, and initiated the
construction of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra in Woodstock, New York, the
seat of his lineage in North America. His cremation in Rumtek is
vividly documented.
The narration script was written by the late Rick Fields, the well-known author of How the Swans Came to the Lake and a founding editor of Tricycle and The Vajradhatu Sun.
