Activating Bodhichitta and a Meditation on Compassion
By: Dalai Lama XIV
|
Our Price: $7.50
Members Price: $6.75
|
|
|
There is no more powerful mind than bodhicitta. There is no more joyous mind than bodhicitta. For the accomplishment of one's own ultimate purpose, the awakening mind is supreme, and to accomplish the purpose of all other living beings there is nothing superior to bodhicitta. The awakening mind is the unsurpassable way to collect merit. To purify obstacles bodhicitta is supreme. For protection from interferences bodhicitta is supreme. It is the unique, all-encompassing method. Every kind of ordinary and supra-mundane power can be accomplished through bodhicitta. Thus, it is absolutely precious.
Even though we personally may find difficulty in immediate and thorough generation of such a mind, we should at least direct our thoughts towards it. To train our mind in such an ultimately altruistic manner from the very beginning of our practice of Dharma is vitally important.

Essence of Ambrosia is a guide to Buddhist meditation, composed by the prolific and eclectic Tibetan scholar and practitioner Taranatha (1575-1634). Following the lead of Atisha, Taranatha expounds a graduated approach (known as lam rim) to cognitive and meditative development designed to address the needs of three types of person: the person of lesser, average and greater capacity.
Taranatha's innovative contribution to this genre is to instruct the student in "contemplation sessions", that specifically guide a beginning Buddhist practitioner through the traditional practices of meditation, beginning with devotional reflection up to the apex of Buddhist meditation, insight (vipassana) meditation. The result is a remarkably accessible and concise insider's guide to the Mahayana Buddhist path.

In this book (reprinted from a pamphlet), the four teachings which motivate religious practice and the attributes of the Three Jewels are explianed. If one completely understands the significance of all these things, one will turn away from the cycle of existence and strive to practice freedom, will believe in action and results (karma) and will either obtain Buddhahood in this life or will become free of this cycle, etc. Moreover when many positive qualities are cultivated, one will consolidate a basis for the holy Dharma. So, please, don't just penetrate the significance of all three things, but, in addition, strive at Dharma practice." ~Kalu Rinpoche, from the Introduction

Phenomenological-psychological Aspects of Tibetan Buddhism(Mahamudra and sNying-thig) Practices from Original Tibetan Sources
Despite the interest in meditation, few works have studied what “meditation” means within the original traditions. “Meditation Differently” presents a translation of an important Tibetan work which contrasts and compares two central traditions of Buddhist meditative practice- the Mahamudra and rDzogs-chen. particularly the sNying-thig version. This translation is supplemented by a detailed commentary based on original Tibetan sources by Dr. Guenther.

Meditation In a New York Minute: Super Calm for the Super Busy
By: Mark Thornton
|
Our Price: $12.95
Members Price: $11.65
|
|
|
A former investment banker, Thornton worked 14-hour days, six days a week. He claims he was able to begin meditating for an hour a day during this period, without adding a single thing to his schedule. How? In a rather extreme style of spiritual multi-tasking, Thornton practiced his meditation while on the go: before and after meetings, in the shower, during commutes, or when hitting the gym. In this book, he teaches readers to follow the same strategy, incorporating stolen moments of meditation throughout the day so that they add up to a full hour. He promises that this regimen will relieve stress, boost productivity, reduce illness and build a foundation of calm and strength. Thornton's experience and skill as a corporate meditation instructor comes through here; he obviously knows the "super busy" and anticipates their objections and concerns. He organizes the book for easy reading, with sidebars, bulleted lists, diagrams and hands-on exercises sprinkled throughout. The bulk of the guide is taken up with teaching 19 different meditation techniques readers can incorporate into their to-do lists. Some of the recommendations are easy and practical, such as reprogramming a PDA or BlackBerry to read "choose calm now" as a menu heading, or "eating with awareness," chewing slowly and being mindful of every bite. Others are more complex and come with Thornton's caution that they take a lifetime to master. The book contains some old chestnuts, including the famous boiling frog story (here used as an example of how people become used to stress, not realizing its creeping dangers). Its opening chapters lean too heavily on glib promises when the book is more worthwhile and shows readers how mindfulness and meditation can be part of even the busiest schedule.

Meditation Through the Three Yanas
By: Traleg Rinpoche

Our Price: $20.00
Members Price: $18.00
|
|
|
The three yanas are known as Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana. They are not discrete and independent schools, as much as individual phases of spiritual growth in each person. It is a general understanding of some people that yanas are confined to geographical situations, that the Mahayana and Vajrayana are practiced by Thais and Singhalese, or something of that nature. This is not true of Tibetan Buddhism, which consists of all three yanas.

Origin of Buddhist Meditation
By: Alexander Wynne
|
Our Price: $149.95
Members Price: $134.96
|
|
|
Having identified early material that goes back to the Buddha himself, the author argues that the two teachers of the Buddha were historical figures. Based on the early Brahminic literature, namely the early Upanishads and Moksadharma, the author asserts the origin of the method of meditation learned by the Buddha from these teachers, and attempts to use them to identify some authentic teachings of the Buddha on meditation.
Stimulating debate within the field of Buddhist Studies, the following claims are put forward:
* the Buddha was taught by Alara Kalama and Uddaka Ramaputta, as stated in the literature of numerous early Buddhist sects, is historically authentic
* Alara Kalama and Uddaka Ramaputta taught a form of early Brahminic meditation
* the Buddha must consequently have been trained in a meditative school whose ideology was provided by the philosophical portions of early Upanishads
Shedding new light on a fascinating aspect of the origins of Buddhism, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of Buddhist studies, Asian religion and South Asian studies.

Posture of Meditation: A Practical Manual for Meditators of All Traditions

A Practical Manual for Meditators of All Traditions
When it comes to meditation practices, the body is as important as the mind - a fact that may come as a surprise to the many people who regard meditation as a strictly mental activity. But, as Will Johnson shows, the physical aspect of the practice is far too often underemphasized. The alert-yet-relaxed sitting posture that is the common denominator of so many meditative techniques is a wonderful aid for clearing the mind and opening the heart, but it also works to activate the natural healing energies of both body and mind. The author offers guidance and exercises for working with the posture of meditation and advice on how to carry its benefits on into all the rest of life.

Practice of Tranquillity and Insight
By: Thrangu Rinpoche

Our Price: $14.95
Members Price: $13.46
|

This is a practical guide to the two types of meditation that form the core of Buddhist spiritual practice. Tranquillity (samatha} meditation aims at stilling the mind, while insight (vipasyana) meditation produces "clear vision," or insight into the nature of all phenomena. With masterful scholarship and the ability to make subtle ideas easy to understand and apply in practice, Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche explains this unified system of meditation for students both beginning and advanced. These teachings are based on the eighth chapter of the Treasury of Knowledge by the great nineteenth-century master Jamgon Kongtrul. With Thrangu Rinpoche's commentary, this complex, encyclopedic work is now made accessible to Western students of meditation.

Progressive Stages of Meditation on Emptiness

|
Our Price: $18.95
Members Price: $17.06
|
|
|
In this teaching Rinpoche presents the main schools of Buddhist philosophy with their progressively more subtle and refined views of reality. However it is not just a teaching on the view, but a presentation providing the student the means to realise it through meditation practice. The idea of a series of meditation practices on a particular aspect of the Buddha’s teaching is that beginning with one’s first rather coarse commonsense understanding, one progresses through increasingly subtle and more refined stages until one arrives at complete and perfect understanding. Each stage in the process prepares the mind for the next in so far as each step is fully integrated into one’s understanding through the medtitation process.

Just as exercise improves the body, meditation improves the mind. It
restores memory, enhances creativity, and leads to clearer thinking.
And, much like exercise, most people have a hard time getting motivated
to do it, much less stick with it — until now. Real Meditation in Minutes a Day
teaches anyone, anywhere, to make meditation’s countless benefits part
of everyday life. Authors Joseph Arpaia and Lobsang Rapgay, both
experienced practitioners, have developed an innovative new way of
teaching meditation. They explain it here using plain, non-religious
language that encourages and affirms all readers. Throughout the book,
episodic tales starring everypersons “Brian” and “Maria” illustrate the
program. Brian and Maria’s recounting of their efforts reinforces each
step, answers common questions, and helps prevent potential pitfalls or
obstacles. Real Meditation in Minutes a Day represents a new approach to an ancient practice: that of an easygoing, always-encouraging mental workout buddy.

Samadhi; The Numinous and Cessative in Indo-Tibetan Yoga
By: Stuart Ray Sarbacker
|
Our Price: $60.00
Members Price: $60.00
|
|
|
Explores yoga and meditation in Eastern religions, incorporating psychological and social aspects of these practices.
A historical and comparative study grounded in close readings of important works, this book explores the dynamics of the theory and practice of yoga in Hindu and Buddhist contexts. Author Stuart Ray Sarbacker explores the fascinating, contrasting perceptions that meditation leads to the attainment of divine, or numinous, power, and to complete escape from worldly existence, or cessation. Sarbacker demonstrates that these two dimensions of spiritual experience have affected the doctrine and cultural significance of yoga from its origins to its contemporary practice. He also integrates sociological and psychological perspectives on religious experience into a larger phenomenological model to address the multifaceted nature of religious experience. Speaking to a broad range of methodological and contextual issues, Samadhi provides numerous insights into the theory and practice of yoga that are relevant to both scholars of religious studies and practitioners of contemporary yoga and meditation traditions.

Six Dharma Gates to the Sublime: A Classic Meditation Manual on Traditional Indian Buddhist Meditation

Our Price: $13.50
|
|
|
The Six Dharma Gates to the Sublime is a 1500-year-old Buddhist meditation manual devoted to explaining the practice of calming-and-insight meditation according to a classic Indian Buddhist formula known as “the six gates”. Although the actual content of this meditation practice formula is not confined to either Southern or Northern traditions, it is presented herein from a distinctly mahayanistic standpoint assuming and encouraging bodhisattva path practice and the resolve to realize buddhahood.
This classic, also by Master Zhiyi, serves as an
ideal
companion volume to The Essentials of Buddhist
Meditation. It explains the six practices crucial to success in
traditional Indian Buddhist breath (anapana) and calming-and-insight (samatha-vipasyana)
meditation.
Correctly implemented, these six "gates" lead the
practitioner to realize the third of the four truths (cessation), of
which the "sublimity" referenced in the title is one of the four
canonically-described practice aspects. Chinese and English

In essence, "stopping and seeing" refers to stopping delusion and seeing truth, processes basic to Buddhist practice. One of the most comprehensive manuals written on these two essential points of Buddhist meditation in "The Great Stopping and Seeing", a monumental work written by sixth-century Buddhist master Chih-i. Stopping and Seeing, the first translation of this essential text, covers the principles and methods of a wide variety of Buddhist meditation techniques and provides an in-depth presentation of the dynamics of these practices.

Study and Practice of
Meditation gives a vivid and detailed account of the meditative
practices necessary to develop a calm, alert mind that is capable of
penetrating the depths of reality. The Buddhist meditative states known
as the concentrations and formless absorptions are best known in the
West from Theravada scriptures and from Vasubandhu's Treasury of
Manifest Knowledge. In this book the reader is exposed to Tibetan
Buddhist views on the mental states attained through meditation as
described by three contemporary Tibetan lamas. The book discusses the
ways in which certain meditative states act as bases of the spiritual
path, as well as the nature of meditative calm and the prerequisites
for cultivating and attaining it. In addition to reviewing and
translating Tibetan sources, the author considers their major Indian
antecedents and draws comparisons with Theravadin presentations.
