Shasta to write that brings the ancient teachings of Tibetan Buddhism into the Western teachings of the I AM and the Violet Consuming Flame.

This instruction is given in the context of Tibetan Tantric Buddhist practice that sees all reality as an aspect of our own mind.The second book, I AM Violet Tara in Action, Lessons in Mastery, was originally a collection of Peter's online talks that give further instruction and answer the many questions that Violet Tara practitioners have had.

Ian Prattis' new publication, Sacred Ceremony and Desert Legacy. is another riveting medley of poetry and prose, autobiographical essays and a memoir of his mystical journey as a shaman and a Zen teacher. His gentle but powerful activism to save the Earth is the sacred glue fusing together all of the genres featured in this book. Prattis uses the power of the word to remind us to open our hearts and our senses to the natural world, to hear the symphony in the whale song, and marvel at the flight of geese, or to "see spring blossoms cast a rainbow in summer rain." Prattis' reflections on impermanence remind us that "our only possessions are the consequences of our actions", and that we should awaken from our apathy and slumber and show a renewed reverence toward nature becoming both leaders and followers of radical change. His social commentary on wars and the destruction of our home Earth is couched in stirringly beautiful poetic language, which acts as a guiding light to beckon us toward a shift of consciousness.- Jana Begovic, author, Poisonous Whispers and Dragonfly Slayer

"This is a modern commentary on a Dzogchen tantra titled The Natural Freedom and Openness of the Mind, covering the practices of trekcho, thogal, and bardo. This tantra is a mind terma, or treasure, of the contemporary terton, or treasure revealer, Deshek Lingpa (1956-2020). The tantra is said by tradition to be one among many revelations of the seventh-century Indian master Garab Dorje, who received them directly from the bodhisattva Vajrasattva, who received them from the buddha Samantabhadra. The commentary presents, in clear and accessible language, the approach to enlightement taught in this tradition. These instructions are considered advanced and secret, to be taught only to those who have received transmission from a qualified master. For the curious reader outside of the tradition, this book offers a clear and concise introduction to way the Nyingma tradition frames Buddhist cosmology, mind, liberation, and prayer"--
