Sacred Voices of the Nyingma Masters

by Sandra Scales

This exquisitely produced book gathers the portraits of twenty-two exalted lamas of the Nyingma lineage, as well as teachings that they gave specifically for the readers of this book.

Sacred Voices is the result of the author’s twenty-five-year study of Tibetan Buddhism and personal connection with these great teachers. By offering an intimate glimpse of the environments in which the teachings took place, her brief introductory essays take the reader on a wide-ranging and delightful journey—from the Himalayas, to South America and to Europe.

Change of Heart: The Bodhisattva Peace Training of Chagdud Tulku

Lama Shenpen Drolma (editor)

"An ordinary being cannot even begin to fathom the infinite compassionate action of a bodhisattva, so only a bodhisattva can provide such guidance. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, in my opinion, was a true bodhisattva who worked tirelessly to eliminate suffering in many different parts of the world. I rejoice that his teachings have been compiled into this book, and it is my aspiration that every single word of his will be put into practice."--Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

"Chagdud Rinpoche was an outstanding Buddhist master. In Change of Heart he hands us an extraordinary gift--a wise and gentle guide to the compassionate path of the bodhisattvas. Confronting directly the dilemmas and uncertainty facing people today, Rinpoche shows how anyone at all can follow this training and use its methods to discover inner peace, reduce suffering, deal with violence and aggression, awaken the Good Heart, and so live in the world in such a way as to benefit all those around them." --Sogyal Rinpoche

The Precious Treasury of Philosophical Systems (Drupta Dzöd)

Longchen Rabjam

Translated by Richard Barron
(Lama Chökyi Nyima
)

The Precious Treasury of Philosophical Systems discusses the philosophical tenets of the entire spectrum of Buddhist teachings--Hinayana, Mahayana, Vajrayana, and Dzogchen--providing an invaluable perspective on the multifaceted nature of the Buddhist tradition in both India and Tibet. On the basis of his extensive research and nonsectarian viewpoint, Longchenpa analyzes Tibetan Buddhism according to Sarma and Nyingma interpretations, concluding with the innermost teachings of the Dzogchen approach.

This is the fourth volume in our ongoing project to translate Longchenpa’s Seven Treasuries and includes an introduction by the Ven. Tulku Thondup Rinpoche and a foreword by H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche. The translator wishes to thank the Tsadra Foundation (www.tsadra.org) for its generous support during the final stage of the editing of this book. Hardcover
