Tibetansk buddhisme

Although the word 'emptiness' can seem a bit intimidating, in the Buddhist traditions it is the key to freedom. Our mind is intrinsically empty of self and any fixed or defining content. We are not defined by anything which has occurred, that is occurring now, or will even occur in the future. Being empty of fixed content allows us to open to all that occurs without being trapped in reactivity. By resting in the intrinsic openness of our mind it becomes clear that we are not a thing amongst things.

Ringu Tulku discusses what it means to take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha in terms of finding a profound purpose in our lives and making a decision to work towards fulfilling that aim.

Bodhichitta literally means 'mind of awakening'. It is the awakening of compassion and wisdom - the great compassionate wish for the wellbeing of all sentient beings, combined with the understanding of how that wish may be fulfilled.Ringu Tulku discusses the profound ideal of bodhichitta in an accessible and friendly way that brings it within everyone's reach. He points out that bodhichitta is a natural extension of our innate wish to work for our own wellbeing and holds out hope for each one of us to awaken our Bodhichitta within.

The Heart Wisdom series aims to make the teachings of Ringu Tulku Rinpoche available to a wider audience, by bringing his oral teachings to the written page. This volume is a commentary by Ringu Tulku on a text by the great 19th Century Tibetan Lama and teacher, Patrul Rinpoche, called 'Victory over the Maras.' It looks at what the maras are: all the obstacles, hindrances and set-backs that occur in our lives. They are listed and described - including the 'Secret' and even 'Top Secret' maras! Once we understand how to view the difficult things that happen in our life, specific antidotes and remedies are given to help us clear them, so we can move on, unhindered. The ultimate remedy is to understand, experientially, the wisdom of how things really exist, the wisdom of emptiness.

Para a maioria de nós, exprimir a cólera e ser alvo dela são experiências comuns. Normalmente, não nos detemos a pensar o impacto que tem nos outros ou em nós mesmos. Neste livro, Ringu Tulku mostra como o medo desencadeia a cólera e como a certeza de termos razão nos impede de reconhecermos o sofrimento de quem está sob o efeito da cólera. De forma leve e tocante ele descreve a importância da compaixão em situações de grande tensão, mostrando maneiras simples de aliviar a intensidade do momento, para nós e para os outros, ao enfrentarmos as situações com uma atitude consciente.

A série Sabedoria do Coração tem como objetivo tornar os ensinamentos de Ringu Tulku Rinpoche acessíveis a um público mais vasto, pondo os seus ensinamentos orais em forma escrita. Este volume apresenta 37 ensinamentos curtos, concebidos para serem lidos individualmente e integrados na prática e vida quotidianas. O conjunto leva-nos numa viagem através dos veículos do budismo, elucidando alguns mal-entendidos comuns e princípios básicos do caminho budista, ao mesmo tempo que nos encoraja a movermo-nos da cabeça (compreensão intelectual) ao coração (compreensão experiencial)."Para alcançar a experiência dessa compreensão temos de mergulhar profundamente em nós mesmos e aprender a levar a nossa consciência e atenção plena até ao nível inconsciente da nossa mente. É aqui que podemos experimentar profundamente. Trata-se do coração mais que da cabeça. Diz-se às vezes que a viagem mais longa é da cabeça ao coração. É a isto que nos referimos quando falamos em desenvolver a visão correta e compreendê-la pela experiência. É um trabalho constante."

This book describes the embodiment of enlightened intention as manifested by a Tibetan Buddhist Bon practitioner who is living a good spiritual life. Those who have perfected this enlightened intention are believed to be able to transform into a , which can then culminate with a rainbow body during the dying process [delete - matter is transformed into light]. For those who study the Tibetan Bon tradition, this book provides access to two important texts not previously available in English. In particular, it includes a translation of "The Four Manners of Dying to Accomplish Rainbow Body," a short text by the revered Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche, as well as a translation of the "Blue Lotus Flower," a biography of Shardza's successor, Dawa Dragpa written by Kalsang Tempa Gyaltsen. These two texts present an extensive discussion about the advanced (and esoteric) practices that can manifest a "rainbow body" a few days after dying where the residual substantiality of the physical body transforms into a light body similar in appearance to a rainbow. The book elucidates the four methods used to attain a rainbow body: first, from the text written by Shardza Rinpoche, and then, with a more extensive discussion found within the biography of Lama Dawa Dragpa, whose exemplary life ended with the full manifestation of the rainbow body. The biographical translation beautifully describes Dawa Dragpa's spiritual life of intense devotion to his teacher, to the advanced Bön Great Completion practices, and to his commitment to serving and teaching others. These two texts were translated under the guidance of His Holiness, the 33rd Menri Trizin (33rd Abbot of the Menri Monastery in India) by Geshe Sonam Gurung and Daniel P. Brown.

But how can we, as imperfect human beings, off er even an 'imperfect' love, and is that enough? Yes, says Rinpoche, we can and should start from where we are. We can off er loving kindness, help and support for each other now, while aspiring towards an ideal unconditional love. Rinpoche encourages us, in these seemingly simple and concise teachings, to develop the courage of a hero dedicated to love, and to find our true brave heart.

The best-known work of Nyingma literature, the oldest of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, the "Bardo Thodol", or "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" is the work of Tibetan Buddhist spiritualism first revealed by Karma Lingpa in the 14th century. "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" is part of a larger corpus of texts called the "Profound Dharma of Self-Liberation through the Intention of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones" which is believed to have been composed by Padmasambhava in the 8th century and written down by his student Yeshe Tsogyal. Intended as a work to help guide the spirit in the afterlife from death to the next rebirth, "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" describes the experiences that the consciousness will have after death. The work also includes descriptions of the signs of death and the rituals that one must undertake to prepare for the journey following one's death. This volume presents the English translation of Walter Evans-Wentz first published in 1927 which helped to popularize the work in the West. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
