Snellgrove\",\"title\":\"Four Lamas of Dolpo\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Tibetan Biographies\",\"publisher\":\"Himalayan Book Seller\",\"pages\":\"302\",\"year\":\"1967\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"This volume presents in English translation the autobiographies of four Tibetan Lamas in the land of Dolpo, which was part of Western Tibet until the end of the 18th century. Three of them were born in the 16th century, and one in the 17th. In every case the substance of these biographies was dictated by the lamas themselves, in response to the entreaties of their disciples. After the lamas had died, the material was edited and compiled as an authoritative account of their lives and one hand-written copy of each biography was preserved in the libraries of the local monasteries.\\n\\nDr. Snellgrove first made the long and arduous journey into Dolpo in 1956, as described in Himalayan Pilgrimage; in 1960 and 1961 he returned there and, among many other interesting documents, discovered the copies of these four biographies.\\n\\nRealising the difficulties presented by the many strange dialectical forms of Dolpo Tibetan, he stayed in one remote Dolpo monastery, known as the 'Residence of Great Happiness', long enough to work through the whole material with the help of a knowledgeable local lama, who was well read in normal literary Tibetan, while naturally familiar with his own local dialect. On his return to England the author was thus able to prepare the careful translation presented here.\\n\\nThe introduction provides the general background of conditions in Dolpo, including an account of religious beliefs, which, like the social conditions there, have remained practically unchanged over the last thousand years. Thus this book, read by itself, presents a unique account of Tibetan religion as lived in an enclosed Tibetan-speaking community, while at the same time serving as an additional volume to the author's previous reports on Tibetan religion in Himalayan areas, viz. Buddhist Himalaya and Himalayan

In identifying the pivotal role of discipline in the bhikkhu quest for nibbana Professor Holt finds that Vinaya rules represent a practical implementation of the Budha's Dhamma. Specifically, adherence to this monastic code theoretically facilitates an overcoming of asavas, mental dispositions that foster attachment to the \\\"self\\\" and thus perpetuate the process of samsaric kammic retribution. The formulation of Buddhist monastic law, therefore, need not be seen as the result of casuistry; rather, it is the consequence of a conscious attempt on the part of the early Buddhist tradition to identify behavioral expressions that at once generate and reflect a calmed, detached and disciplined mental and spiritual state.\\n\\nThe author has also examined the significance of the principal rituals of Buddhist monasticism as they are prescribed within the Vinaya text. He interprets these rites as cultic celebrations of discipline which, in turn, legitimate the Sangha's claim to be the embodiment and reservoir of the Buddha's teachings. The claim supported the Sangha's role of occupying a mediating position between the spiritual needs of the laity and the authority and the spiritual exemplar of Buddhism, the Buddha. In short, Discipline, written from the perspective of the history of religious approach, contributed significantly to the increased understanding of the dynamics of the Buddhist religion in its formulative

Tuttle\",\"pages\":\"258\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Other Buddhist Traditions \",\"description\":\"The Story of Chinese Zen begins with the premise that the climate during Shakyamuni's founding of Buddhism in India ultimately influenced the differences behind Hinayana and Mahayana thought, practice, and methods of seeking realization. From there - beginning with its transmission to China - Master Nan outlines the Zen School, exploring influences on the development of Zen before the early T'ang dynasty, different means of studying

Faced with a relentless flood of information and distractions, our brains try to process everything at once increasing our stress, decreasing our effectiveness and negatively impacting our performance. Ironically, we have become too overworked, unfocused, and busy to stop and ask ourselves the most important question: What can we do to break the cycle of being constantly under pressure, always-on, overloaded with information and in environments filled with distractions? Do we need to accept this as the new workplace reality and continue to survive rather than thrive in modern day work environments? Thankfully, the answer is no. In their new book, ONE SECOND AHEAD: Enhance Your Performance at Work with Mindfulness (Palgrave Macmillan; November 2015), Rasmus Hougaard, Jacqueline Carter, and Gillian Coutts demonstrate that it is possible to train the brain to respond differently to today's constant pressures and distraction. All it takes is one second. They propose that we need to learn to work differently so we are more focused, calm and have less clutter in our mind so we can better manage our time and attention. What if we could hit the 'pause' button on our day, step back, and meet challenges with a sense of clarity and purpose? And what if there was a way not just of 'getting things done,' but ensuring that what does get done are the right things to do? Based on a program in corporate mindfulness designed by Hougaard and the partners of The Potential Project, One Second Ahead provides practical tools and techniques as well as real-world examples and lessons from organizations that have implemented mindfulness on a large scale. Thoroughly tested in a diverse range of industries, this program has resulted in measurable increases in productivity, effectiveness, and job satisfaction. With the new mindset proposed in One Second Ahead, readers will be able to put an end to ineffective multitasking, unproductive meetings, poor communication, and other unhealthy workplace behaviors by applying mindfulness to every day work life. All too often, we think that being mindful requires engaging in a special activity like meditation or yoga. Sure, these activities are beneficial and important to train the mind, but there are many simple things we can do to be mindful all day long. One Second Ahead is a handbook for more mindful work that offers: Practical, easy to apply, tools and techniques to enhance performance and effectiveness in day to day work activities such as meetings, emails, communication, planning, creativity and more Real-world stories of how mindfulness changed the workdays of leaders and front line employees Tips for cultivating mental strategies and routines that can reduce clutter, increase focus, and rewire your brain to enhance presence, patience, kindness and other valuable mind states Simple yet detailed step-by-step instructions for a more systematic approach to mindfulness training to enhance focus and awareness Guidelines for a 10-minute-per-day mindfulness program that can reshape your life both at work and at home; A reproducible planning worksheet and further resources in the Appendix. One Second Ahead can transform daily work life by helping individuals and teams realize more of their potential through greater focus and awareness. The tools and techniques in this book can transform individual and organizational performance one mind at a time.\\n\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41auxs0e+hL._SY445_SX342_QL70_ML2_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-26T15:27:16.108Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5868,\"isbn\":\"9781354688748\",\"authors\":\"Geshe Tashi Tsering\",\"title\":\"The Foundation of Buddhist Thought (Complete Series)\",\"copies\":3,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"FPMT\",\"pages\":\"6 books\",\"year\":\"2001\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"Part 1: The Four Noble Truths\\nPart 2: The Two Truths\\nPart 3: Buddhist Psychology and Epistemology\\nPart 4: The Mind of Enlightenment\\nPart 5: Emptiness\\nPart 6: An Overview of Tantric Paths and Grounds\",\"image\":\"\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-26T15:21:21.132Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5867,\"isbn\":\"9780898002720\",\"authors\":\"Tarthang Tulku\",\"title\":\"Crystal Mirror Vol. 10: The Buddha and His Teachings\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Dharma Publishing\",\"pages\":\"381\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"The Buddha and His Teachings is intended to encourage study of the Sutras and shastras and awaken a genuine love for the Buddha.\\n\\nThis volume focuses on the qualities of the Enlightened Ones, drawing on Sutras and authoritative works by Buddhist masters to introduce the perfect Buddhas: how they awaken wisdom and compassion and the stages by which they bring to maturity the qualities and blessings of enlightened being.

Basho was introduced to poetry at a young age, and after integrating himself into the intellectual scene of Edo (now Tokyo) he quickly became well known throughout Japan. He originally taught for a living, but later in his short life he chose to wander across the county, finally journeying into the northern wilderness to seek inspiration for his writing. His poems were influenced by his direct experience of the natural world, and he could enshrine the essence of what he saw in a few simple poetic elements.

In The Bodhisattva's Brain, Flanagan argues that it is possible to discover in Buddhism a rich, empirically responsible philosophy that could point us to one path of human flourishing.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TLqpGxixL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-26T11:25:40.524Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5841,\"isbn\":\"9781614294818\",\"authors\":\"Edited by Geoffrey Barstow\",\"title\":\"The Faults of Meat: Tibetan Buddhist Writings on Vegetarianism\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom\",\"pages\":\"326\",\"year\":\"2019\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"Vegetarianism is a hotly debated topic within Buddhist circles. This book provides a valuable new contribution to the discussion with translations of thirteen Tibetan texts focused on the ethical problems associated with eating meat, coming from a wide variety of perspectives and lineages.\\nShould all Buddhists be vegetarian?\\nVegetarianism is an important topic of debate in Buddhist circles--some argue that Buddhists should avoid meat entirely while others suggest that it is acceptable. For the most part, however, this ethical query has been conducted in the West without consulting traditional literature on the subject. The Faults of Meat brings together for the first time a collection of rich and intricate explorations of authoritative Tibetan views on eating meat. These fourteen nuanced texts, ranging from scholastic treatises to poetic verse, reveal vegetarianism as a significant, ongoing issue of debate for Tibetans across time and traditions, with a wide variety of voices marshaled against meat, and a few in favor. Authors include many important Tibetan teachers:\\n\\nDolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen (1292-1361) Khedrup J\u00E9 (1385-1438) The eighth Karmapa, Miky\u00F6 Dorj\u00E9 (1507-1554) Shabkar Tsokdr\u00FCk Rangdr\u00F6l (1781-1851) Khenpo Tsultrim Lodr\u00F6 (1961- ) and many more.\\nThese Buddhist teachers recognize both the ethical problems that surround meat eating and the practical challenges of maintaining a vegetarian diet; their skilled arguments are illuminated further by the translators' introductions to each work.\\nThe perspectives in The Faults of Meat are strikingly relevant to our discussions of vegetarianism today; they introduce us to new approaches and solutions to a contentious issue for Buddhists.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41PRLsYQnrL._SY445_SX342_ML2_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-26T11:22:14.632Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5840,\"isbn\":\"9781909314993\",\"authors\":\"Analayo\",\"title\":\"A Meditator's Life of the Buddha: Based on the Early Discourses\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Windhorse Publications\",\"pages\":\"258\",\"year\":\"2017\",\"categories\":\"Theravada\",\"description\":\"Analayo offers an inspiring biography of the Buddha based on the early discourses and focusing on his meditative development and practice.

As such these fascinating tales have remained stored in memories and were transmitted orally from generation to generation. In the process afolk tale undergoes numerous changes both gaining and losing a lot of its flavour. They are delightful nevertheless and never cease to surprise us with their store of princesses and witches: dogs and demons and frog and mirgos intermingled in an innocently evil world of their own.It is only in exile that Tibetans have taken up the important task of recording and documenting the many facets of Tibetan civilisation including the folk tales.Translated directly from oral narration into English by a Tibetan the present edtion of Tibetan Folk Tales will serve a very significant purpose of introducing readers to the fascinating world of Tibetan folk culture\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71feJmTW9nL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-25T17:21:16.611Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5837,\"isbn\":\"9780856681905\",\"authors\":\"Michael Aris, Aung San Suu Kyi\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Studies \",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"In Honour Of Hugh Richardson\",\"publisher\":\"Aris and Phillips Ltd\",\"pages\":\"348\",\"year\":\"1980\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"Orchid Press is pleased to make available for the wide community with interest in Tibetan culture a reprint edition of this seminal conference, featuring papers by some 47 eminent Tibetologists, first presented at the International Seminar on Tibetan Studies in Oxford in 1979. Dedicated to one of the most highly respected of these scholars, Hugh Richardson, the quality and diversity of the papers herein, reflecting as they do the very significant contribution to this field of Richardson himself, are a fitting tribute to the man. Commencing with an essay in appreciation of Richardson's life and myriad achievements, and followed by a complete bibliography of his writings, the papers then presented span the full range of disciplines that have focused on this rich and endangered culture. Included in this list are important contributions to the history, geography, religion, philosophy, arts, sociology, ethnography, folklore, language and literature, medicine and commerce of Tibet and the Tibetan diaspora. Many of the papers remain standard references in their respective fields, and copies of the original publication of these Proceedings are now long out of print and very difficult to obtain. It is thus hoped that this reprint edition will serve as a valuable reference for new and current scholars in the field of Tibetan studies, both in terms of the scholarly material presented and as an inspirational example of the quality of work of those who preceded them. \\\"It is difficult to think of any aspect of Tibetan culture which is not, to some extent at least, touched upon.\\\" Review by K.R.

and through that in the whole range of Indian philosophy. This volume is a study of the Madhyamika philosophy in all its important aspects and is divided into three parts: Historical: this traces the origin and development of the Madhyamika philosophy. The second part concentrates on a full and critical exposition of the Madhyamika philosophy, the structure of its dialectic, its conception of the Absolute and its ethics and religion.

Dhamma). It is a wheel that he set rolling in his first discourse by proclaiming the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path of practice. This teaching remains as the axis of Ajahn Sumedho\u2019s teaching and personal contemplative work. This particular collection of his Dhamma talks and dialogues is composed of material that has appeared in various newsletters and magazines before; it derives from different periods in Ajahn Sumedho\u2019s teaching career, but it has been gathered into three parts to address overarching themes.\\n\\nThe first theme is one of foundation, of grounding the mind and its actions in the most fertile field for skilful states. It must be stressed that the theme of The Ground of the Dhamma is not an introductory piece that we master in year one and then leave behind, any more than the ability to stand upright and balanced is merely for infants. Although standing upright and balanced is the first piece we work on, reference to Refuge, to gratitude and to social responsibility are ongoing practices that sustain right view, without which the

Transformation of both one's identity and the environment is an important principle of Tantric Buddhist philosophy. In Tantric scriptures, one is instructed to visualize oneself as a deity, a divine identity who resides in a perfect sphere. By repeatedly training in this visualization, one perfects the transformation and ultimately becomes the deity itself.\\n\\nDo the Tantric teachings hold sentient beings to be intrinsically pure and divine, or do they consider them initially flawed to be later purified through the visualization of divinity? Is the practice of deity yoga merely a means, or is it more fundamentally connected to the nature of things? These questions were among the main concerns of Rongzom Ch\u00F6kyi Zangpo, the illustrious philosopher of the Nyingma School of the Early Translations. Establishing Appearances as Divine sets out to prove the provocative point that the tradition still highly regards the point of view that everything which appears is actually the deity manifest. Many books on Tibetan Buddhism address the important themes of mind training, compassion, and proper conduct. This book goes beyond that in its aim to bring the reader face to face with his or her divine and pure nature. Its method is unusual: the author uses reasoned philosophical arguments to argue for esoteric Tantric Buddhist ideas and practices. The result itself is an unusual book held in high esteem for nearly a thousand years. The comprehensive introduction explores Rongzom's philosophy of purity by juxtaposing it with his view of Madhyamaka, while also relating the discussion to his assessment and application of reasoning. For readers of Tibetan, the book contains a comparative edition of the Tibetan text as well.\\n\\nEstablishing Appearances as Divine, translated here for the first time, embarks on the project of unraveling the magical interplay between rationality, truth, and divinity, bringing to light the view that underlies Tantric Buddhist practices.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MNMEP53fL._AC_UF350,350_QL50_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-24T11:35:11.193Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5781,\"isbn\":\"9780861710348\",\"authors\":\"Alan Keightley \",\"title\":\"Into Every Life a Little Zen Must Fall: A Christian philosopher looks to Alan Watts and the East\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publication\",\"pages\":\"\",\"year\":\"1986\",\"categories\":\"Interfaith\",\"description\":\"Into Every Life a Little Zen Must Fall: A Christian Philosopher Looks to Alan Watts and the East is a 1986 religious philosophy book written by Alan Keightley.The book is an intellectual exploration written from a Christian perspective, evaluating the enduring appeal and radical spiritual insights of the Western philosopher and counterculture icon Alan Watts.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51D1KawJi9L._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-24T11:31:36.056Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5780,\"isbn\":\"9781568360317\",\"authors\":\"Arthur Braverman\",\"title\":\"Warrior of Zen \",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Kodansha International \",\"pages\":\"131\",\"year\":\"1994\",\"categories\":\"Zen\",\"description\":\"Suzuki Shosan is among the most dramatic personalities on the history of Zen.

This book reconstructs that system as a series of layered narratives from the memories of people who participated in the daily operation of law in the houses and courtyards the offices and courts of Tibet prior to 1959. The practice of law in this unique legal world, which lacked most of our familiar sign posts, ranged from the fantastic use of oracles in the search for evidence to the more mundane presentation of cases in court. Buddhism and law, two topics rarely intertwined in Western consciousness, are at the center of this work. The Tibetan legal system was based on Buddhist philosophy and reflected Buddhist thought in legal practice and decision making. For Tibetans, law is a cosmology, a kaleidoscopic patterning of relations which is constantly changing, recycling, and re-forming even as it integrates the universe and the individual into a timeless mandalic whole. The Golden Yoke causes us to rethink American legal culture. It argues that in the United States, legal matters are segregated into a separate space with rigidly defined categories. The legal cosmology of Buddhist Tibet brings into question both this autonomous framework and most of the presumptions we have about the very nature of law from precedent and res judicata to rule formation and closure.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610NStI3edL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-22T13:41:02.137Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5757,\"isbn\":\"9781647820732\",\"authors\":\"Rasmus Hougaard & Jacqueline Carter\",\"title\":\"Compassionate Leadership: How to Do Hard Things in a Human Way\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Harvard Business Review Press\",\"pages\":\"225\",\"year\":\"2022\",\"categories\":\"Psychology\",\"description\":\"A global pandemic, economic volatility, natural disasters, civil and political unrest. From New York to Barcelona to Hong Kong, it can feel as if the world as we know it is coming apart. Through it all, our human spirit is being tested. Now more than ever, it's imperative for leaders to demonstrate compassion.\\n\\nBut in hard times like these, leaders need to make hard decisions\u2014deliver negative feedback, make difficult choices that disappoint people, and in some cases lay people off. How do you do the hard things that come with the responsibility of leadership while remaining a good human being and bringing out the best in others? Most people think we have to make a binary choice between being a good human being and being a tough, effective leader. But this is a false dichotomy. Being human and doing what needs to be done are not mutually exclusive. In truth, doing hard things and making difficult decisions is often the most compassionate thing to do.\\n\\nAs founder and CEO of Potential Project, Rasmus Hougaard and his longtime coauthor, Jacqueline Carter, show in this powerful, practical book, you must always balance caring for your people with leadership wisdom and effectiveness.

The exiled principal spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, one of the most distinguished scholars of his religion, enjoys global recognition and admiration. No other photographer in the world is as close to His Holiness as Manuel Bauer, whose deep interest in Buddhism and Tibet dates back more than three decades. Since 1990, Bauer has visited and travelled with the Dalai Lama many times and has captured his public appearances and events as well as his private life in thousands of atmospheric photographs.\\n\\nThis book features some 200 of these images, many of which are published here for the first time. They offer unique insights into the Dalai Lama\u2019s travels and public appearances around the world as well as the media hype they cause. They also give an impression of the private side of this truly global public figure, allowing us to share some of the few moments when the Dalai Lama is alone with himself and his thoughts. A special section documents and visually explains a K\u0101lacakra, a fascinating sand mandala ritual that the Dalai Lama held with followers in the Indian Ladakh region in 2014.\\n\\nThe volume is rounded out with essays contributed by Thupten Jinpa, the Dalai Lama\u2019s longtime interpreter and a renowned Buddhist scholar, and Swiss journalist Christian Schmidt.

His Ganden tradition spread throughout Central Asia and Mongolia, and today, through figures such as the Dalai Lama, who calls Tsongkhapa a second Nagarjuna, his teachings are shaping intellectual conversations and ethical practice globally. To commemorate the 600th anniversary of Tsongkhapa's passing, a special conference was held at Ganden Monastery in India in 2019, featuring some of the best translators and interpreters of his teachings today. Highlights of those incisive summations of Tsongkhapa's special contributions are gathered in this volume.

This book presents two of the most popular Tibetan texts that explain the sixth one, called The Application of Gender Signs.\\n\\nThe sixth treatise is very difficult to understand, to the point that even well-educated Tibetans often have not studied and learned it. Yangchen Drubpay Dorje was a great Tibetan grammarian of the 19th century who wrote a short text that summarized the meaning of Thumi Sambhota\u2019s Application of Gender Signs treatise. It was intended for easy memorization and needed explanation, so he wrote a second text to explain it. Together, the two texts go through the various topics of Thumi\u2019s sixth treatise in depth. The two texts are the most popular ones in use these days for understanding the topic of application of gender signs. Amongst other things, these texts deal with the subject of transitive and intransitive verbs and how they work in the Tibetan language. It is essential for translators to understand the details of transitive and intransitive verbs, so this book is of special importance for translators.\\n\\nThe material in these texts is difficult, so there are many points that need clarification. For that, the author of this book, himself an accomplished Tibetan grammarian, has provided many footnotes and a complete glossary of grammar terms. In addition, the Tibetan texts in Tibetan script have been included in the book for those who would like to study grammar in more depth.\\n\\nThe author of this book, who is well-known as an exceptionally capable translator of Tibetan Buddhism, has been concerned for many years at the mistaken translations of Tibetan Buddhism that arise because of a lack of understanding of the details of Tibetan grammar that exists amongst western translators. Therefore, he has published this and the other books on native Tibetan grammar in this series with a strong desire to make the Tibetan understanding of Tibetan grammar readily available. The end aim of course is that the western students studying Tibetan Buddhism will be able to gain a complete and correct understanding of the system through better translations of Tibetan works.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QZPPdd8HL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-19T14:41:57.009Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5710,\"isbn\":\"9789937572309\",\"authors\":\"Tony Duff\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Grammar: The Essence of Situ's Elegant Explanation: A Medium to Advanced Level Tibetan Grammar Summarizing Situ's Great Commentary\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Padma Karpo Translation Committee\",\"pages\":\"182\",\"year\":\"2009\",\"categories\":\"Learn Tibetan\",\"description\":\"The author of the book, Lama Tony Duff, has had a long association with Tibetan grammar as taught by Tibetans.

For hundreds of years, versions of it have been known in oral and written form in Tibet, China, Central Asia, and across the eastern Silk Route. King Gesar, renowned throughout these areas, represents the ideal warrior. As a leader with his people's loyalty and trust, he conquers all their enemies and protects the peace. His life story, which is full of miracles and magic, is an inspiration and a spiritual example to the people of Tibet and Central Asia even today; Gesar's warrior mask can be seen in the town square and on the door of homes in towns and villages throughout this area.\\n As a Buddhist teaching story, the example of King Gesar is also understood as a spiritual allegory. The \\\"enemies\\\" in the stories represent the emotional and psychological challenges that turn people's minds toward greed, aggression, and envy, and away from the true teachings of Buddhism. These enemies graphically represent the different manifestations of the untamed mind. The teaching is that genuine warriors are not aggressive, but that they subjugate negative emotions in order to put the concerns of others before their own. The ideal of warriorship that Gesar represents is that of a person who, by facing personal challenges with gentleness and intelligence, can attain spiritual realization. This book contains volumes one through three, which tell of Gesar's birth, his mischievous childhood, his youth spent in exile, and his rivalry for the throne with his treacherous uncle.\\n The Gesar epic tells how the king, an enlightened warrior, in order to defend Tibet and the Buddhist religion from the attacks of surrounding demon kings, conquers his enemies one by one in a series of adventures and campaigns that take him all over the Eastern world. He is assisted in his adventures by a cast of heroes and magical characters who include the major deities of Tibetan Buddhism as well as the native religion of Tibet. Gesar fulfills the Silk Route ideal of a king by being both a warrior and a magician. As a magician he combines the powers of an enlightened Buddhist master with those of a shamanic sorcerer. In fact, at times the epic almost seems like a manual to train such a Buddhist warrior-magician.\\n In the story, the people and nation of Ling represent the East Asian notion of an enlightened society. There, meditation, magic, and the oral folk wisdom of a communal nomadic society are synchronized in a lifestyle harmonious with the environment, but ambitious for growth and learning and refined literate culture. Filled with magic, adventure, and the triumphs of this great warrior-king, the stories will delight all\u2014young and old alike.\\n The Gesar epic is still sung by bards in Tibet. The words of the Gesar epic have never been translated into a Western language before.\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9781611800951-uk.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-19T14:17:12.213Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5704,\"isbn\":\"9781590308165\",\"authors\":\"Khenchen Thrangu\",\"title\":\"Vivid Awareness: The Mind Instructions of Khenpo Gangshar\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Shambala\",\"pages\":\"242\",\"year\":\"2011\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"Powerful guidance on how to work with strong emotions in overwhelming circumstances through Buddhist meditation--from a renowned Tibetan Buddhist master\\nIn the summer of 1957, the revered Buddhist teacher and scholar Khenpo Gangshar foresaw the difficulties that would soon fall upon Tibet and began teaching in a startling new way that enabled all those who heard him to use the coming difficulties as the path of Dharma practice.

It was he more than any other who unlocked the treasure-house of Mah\u0101y\u0101na Buddhism for Westerners, but more especially he is remembered for his lucid expositions of that most elusive of all subjects: Zen Buddhism.\\nIn this work, the author succinctly traces the career of Daisetz Suzuki from his early years of genteel poverty in provincial Japan, through the intense struggles of his Zen training, to his first sojourn in the West (1897-1909) \u2014 the West to which he was to return time and time again throughout his long life, culminating in an intensive 10-year period when, a man far advanced in years, he undertook a strenuous teaching programme in the United States and Europe.

Some people learn highly complicated methods and are satisfied with that, but they do not do Guruyoga; this is not good, because in that case it is as if the root of the teaching is missing: the connection to the teacher and the transmission. Guruyoga practice according to Dzogchen means going directly to the essence. In fact, the teaching explains that the condition of Buddha or the dharmakaya coincides with our profound nature, so there is no need to look for it outside of ourselves. The word Guru indicates the understanding we receive from the teacher, which is nothing other than the teacher and our real nature. Guruyoga means to actually be in that state with him in the same instant. There are many practices that go by this name, but the essential meaning of Guruyoga is to be in the state of instant presence that you were first introduced to by your teacher. Guruyoga permits us to find ourselves in that state again.\\n\\nThe first part of this book contains a general explanation of Guruyoga, its meaning and its aspects related to view, meditation and behavior.

Known as \\\"The Buddha from Dolpo,\\\" he was one of the most important and original thinkers in Tibetan history, and perhaps the greatest expert on the tantric teachings of the Kalacakra or \\\"Wheel of Time.\\\" Based largely upon esoteric Buddhist knowledge believed to be preserved in the legendary land of Shambhala, Dolpopa's theories continue to excite controversy in Tibetan Buddhism after almost 700 years.\\n\\nDolpopa emphasized two contrasting definitions of the Buddhist teachings of emptiness: \\\"emptiness of self-nature,\\\" which applies only to the level of relative truth, and \\\"emptiness of other,\\\" which applies only to the level of absolute truth. Dolpopa identified ultimate reality as the Buddha-nature inherent in all living beings. This view of an \\\"emptiness of other,\\\" known in Tibetan as Zhentong, is Dolpopa's main spiritual legacy.\\n\\nThis book contains the first translations into any language of major works by Dolpopa. A General Commentary on the Doctrine is one of the earliest texts in which he systematically presented his view of the entire Buddhist path to enlightenment. The Fourth Council, written at the end of his life, may be viewed as a final summation of his ideas.\\n\\nCyrus Stearns's book describes both Dolpopa's life and his ideas. Earlier Tibetan precedents for the Zhentong view are also discussed, as well as Dolpopa's own unique use of language and the major influences on the development of his controversial theories. The fate of his tradition, which was censured by the Tibetan government in the seventeenth century, is examined, and several of the most important adherents to the Zhentong theory are also discussed.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717k3BL4MAL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-16T14:00:07.531Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5638,\"isbn\":\"9785301211362\",\"authors\":\"Lobsang Rabgay, Kelsang Rapten\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Medicine: Series No. 13 1991\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Library of Tibetan Works and Archive\",\"pages\":\"\",\"year\":\"1991\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Medicine\",\"description\":\"This particular edition focuses on dermatology, Digestion, Medicinal Plants, Pulse analysis, Urine analysis\",\"image\":\"https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ9Yth6xiIx04n46PtMCn18lcMcoPgQdz---w&s\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-16T13:53:40.813Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5637,\"isbn\":\"9785301212314\",\"authors\":\"Jan Barmark, Dr. Yonten Gyatso\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Medicine: Series No. 3 1994\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Library of Tibetan Works and Archive\",\"pages\":\"\",\"year\":\"1981\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Medicine\",\"description\":\"This particular edition focuses on the perspective of Antropology and the Secrets of the Black Pill\",\"image\":\"https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRJkqlUIgiQU6MuB-RfTHmDJDBrtGC1cT4esA&s\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-16T13:49:48.099Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5636,\"isbn\":\"9785301231254\",\"authors\":\"Dr. Pema Dorjee with Elizabeth Richards\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Medicine: Series No. 2 1981\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Library of Tibetan Works and Archive\",\"pages\":\"\",\"year\":\"1981\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Medicine\",\"description\":\"This particular edition focuses on cures and concepts of Tibetan medicine, \\nChapter 1: The Basis of Discussion \\nChapter 2: Arisal of discussion \",\"image\":\"https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR4WyzHBAvfO-D3sI11Wx3ffK_0RMVRiwyxfQ&s\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-16T13:46:41.720Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5635,\"isbn\":\"9783980525121\",\"authors\":\"Tenga Rinpoche \",\"title\":\"Transition & Liberation: Explanations of meditation in the Bardo\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Khampa Buchverlag\",\"pages\":\"116\",\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Death & Re-birth\",\"description\":\"In this book Tenga Rinpoche, one of the great teachers and meditation masters of our time introduces the six kinds of bardo, and gives instructions on how consciousness can be guided through each of these phases and liberated. 116 pp.\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9783980525121-us.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-16T12:51:10.180Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5634,\"isbn\":\"9789810586003\",\"authors\":\"S.

Very little need, I think, be said with regard to the necessity of bringing out a work like this, when the study of Sanskrit has received such a strong impetus during the last twenty five years. There have been four or five Sanskrit-English Dictionaries published till now; but very few of them fulfil the two essential conditions of the popularity and usefulness of such works: satisfying all the requirements of students and at the same time being within their easy reach. The Dictionaries of Professors Wilson and Monier Williams are very useful and valuable works, but their prices-particularly of the latter-are prohibitively high, and they do not also meet many of the most ordinary wants of Sanskrit readers. A student, while reading Sanskrit at School or College, generally expects that the Dictionary which he uses will give will give appropriate equivalents for such words and compound expressions as may have peculiar meanings or shades of meaning in particular passages.\",\"image\":\"https://books.google.co.uk/books/content?id=oZoCixd3Li8C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE73rB3tvDEXvAqBBoGi9hO1JiLksvqyKgdN_CGV55CyaBPLZ4Xo_iQYKgTv6KpWHaWG6pLsCvSTMsDm2K9M6B6MXZ0ToD5nbkfUfFwJMFrsy58GBfX0jvjOIsdyVaOzfmLryUXLR\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-16T11:29:14.832Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5630,\"isbn\":\"9780520204379\",\"authors\":\"Compiled by Melvyn C.

The dictionary lists lexical items characteristic of the special written genre that was used by Tibetan government officials up to 1959 as well as new terminology used in the Tibetan exile communities in South Asia.

Ancient voices made vividly present. The Mahavastu (Volume II) by J. Jones, J. reveals a rich strand of ancient indian philosophy within a broader spiritual classics anthology, where narrative and doctrinal material sit side by side. Rooted in the early buddhism era, it stands with other early buddhist texts that preserve forms of the teachings of the buddha as both instruction and story. The tone ranges from contemplative to didactic, and the material suits readers seeking a dharma study guide as readily as those curious about the cultural and literary life of classical india literature. Accessible prose and methodical organisation mean casual readers can follow its threads, while students of eastern religion find passages worthy of close study. At the same time, the volume functions as a scholarly reference work: it rewards careful reading and provides ample substance for comparative religion studies and academic inquiry. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Its literary and historical significance is plain: as part of a buddhist scriptures collection, The Mahavastu illuminates how sacred stories and doctrinal motifs circulated in formative centuries, making it important both to historians and to seekers of sacred texts. Collectors of classic literature appreciate the edition's measured presentation and its place among spiritual classics anthologies. Libraries, seminar programmes and those teaching comparative religion studies find the volume a reliable primary source for discussion of belief, narrative strategy and ethical teaching. More than a text for specialists, it rewards the general reader with striking episodes and sustained philosophical reflection. For readers and collectors alike, this edition offers a disciplined, humane encounter with one of classical Indian religion's enduring voices.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51I+T-wdL9L._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-16T11:12:13.977Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5627,\"isbn\":\"9780860135203\",\"authors\":\"Translated by K.R.

version by the scholar-monk Kumarajiva, is one of the most important and revered texts in East Asian Buddhism. With its vivid descriptions of cosmic events and large cast of characters, the Saddharmapundarika-sutra (Sutra of the Lotus Flower of the Fine Dharma) unfolds like a magnificent drama. Its twenty-eight chapters offer a combination of doctrine, teachings, stories, and parables, devotional practices, and portraits of the many buddhas and bodhisattvas that inhabit the world of the Lotus Sutra. This text presents an emerging Mahayana vision that affirms the possibility of enlightenment for all.\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9781886439399-uk.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-15T18:47:39.640Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5621,\"isbn\":\"9781879118041\",\"authors\":\"Samdhong Rinpoche, Michael Medizza \",\"title\":\"Always Awakening\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Buddha's Realization Krishnamurti's Insight\",\"publisher\":\"Mendiza & Associates\",\"pages\":\"297\",\"year\":\"2017\",\"categories\":\"Religion/Spirituality\",\"description\":\"The word Buddha means \u201Cawakened one\u201D or \u201Cthe enlightened one.\u201D This title refers to one who perceives directly the illusory, limited, and conflicted nature of reality common to humanity, and the false identity formed on this misguided foundation. With this awakening, everything changes; without it, nothing changes. Awakening therefore is and has been humanity\u2019s greatest challenge. Without comparison, Always Awakening explores how this insight was addressed 2,500 years ago by Gautama Siddhartha, and in a contemporary context, language, and metaphor by Krishnamurti.\\n\\nAlways Awakening represents a rare and exclusive collection of candid interviews, over fifteen hours of video, with his Eminence Professor Samdhong Rinpoche; a renown Buddhist Scholar, the first Kalon Tripa (Prime Minister) of the Central Tibetan Administration in Exile, a close and lifelong associate of His Holiness the Dalia Lama and the only individual in the world with this cultural background, training and insight to explore Buddhist teachings, personally and for many years, with J. Krishnamurti.\\n\",\"image\":\"data:image/jpeg;base64,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

It has long held that all life forms are sacred and considers kindness and compassion the highest virtues. Moreover, Buddhism explicitly includes animals in its moral universe. Buddhist rules of conduct--including the first precept, \\\"Do not kill\\\"--apply to our treatment of animals as well as to our treatment of other human beings. Consequently, we would expect Buddhism to oppose all forms of animal exploitation, and there is, in fact, wide agreement that most forms of animal exploitation are contrary to Buddhist teaching. Yet many Buddhists eat meat--although many do not--and monks, priests, and scholars sometimes defend meat-eating as consistent with Buddhist teaching. The Great Compassion studies the various strains of Buddhism and the sutras that command respect for all life. Norm Phelps, a longtime student of Buddhism and an acquaintance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, answers the central questions of whether Buddhism demands vegetarianism and whether the Buddha ate meat.

1976 when her husband was diagnosed with acute leukemia at the age of twenty-four. Since his death, she has devoted her life to ease the suffering of those facing death. In Facing Death and Finding Hope, she clearly and compassionately identifies the typical fears and struggles experienced by the dying and their families. The core of this book is presented in \\\"Four Tasks of Living and Dying,\\\" using the Tibetan Buddhist perspective on death to provide a new framework of meaning. A book of great depth and grace, it is destined to become a classic in the literature on death and dying.\",\"image\":\"https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcRawn84nMMw1d9ntr05Gjk0yQ-lFegQlPrTs3fnZInmY_Teiu6-aRlIbKbDSMPJJuG07zg0sQanlnJtQ_mx0byGnzOIQ8uo&usqp=CAc\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-15T14:36:09.770Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5616,\"isbn\":\"9781569570180\",\"authors\":\"Will Johnson\",\"title\":\"The Posture Of Meditation\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"A Practical Manual for Meditators of All Traditions\",\"publisher\":\"Shambhala Publications INC.\",\"pages\":\"100\",\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Meditation\",\"description\":\"When it comes to meditation practices, the body is as important as the mind\u2014a 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

Drukpa Kunley was a \\\"nyomba\\\", a crazy yogi who taught through outrageous behavior and ribald humor, through symbolic action, songs and poetry. Using people's emotion, neuroses and sexuality, as a tantric yogi through skillfull means and crazy wisdom he awakened their buddha-nature. He belonged to the lineage of Tilo, Naro, Marpa and Milarepa and taught the same profound Mahamudra yoga, but his most secret teaching was radical Dzogchen, Tibet's existential yoga. He wandered as a tantric beggar through Central and Southern Tibet in the 15th century and is still well-known there as the hero of anti-establishment and anti-monastic tales and the author of bawdy songs. But in Bhutan he became more than an icon, he still is the patron saint of a country where the phallus is revered as a religious icon. This book is a collection of anecdotes and songs compiled by a Bhutanese scholar, Geshe Chaphu, made last century, which became a best seller in the Himalayas. It has been translated by Keith Dowman into easily accessible prose and poetry. Lee Baarslag has illustrated the work with her fine line-drawings.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41haTa1MRTL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-15T13:26:22.348Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5612,\"isbn\":\"9783219910544\",\"authors\":\"Tenzin Zopa\",\"title\":\"The Thousand Buddha Relic Stupa\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Commemorating The Great Mahasdiddha Geshe Lama Konchok\",\"publisher\":\"Tenzin Zopa\",\"pages\":\"136\",\"year\":\"2003\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"This book contains the fascinating life story of one of the great yogis of our time - Geshe Lama Konchok.\\nThis book contains the fascinating life story of one of the great yogis of our time - Geshe Lama Konchok.

considered to be \\\"a golden Dharma\\\" passed directly from Manjushri to Lama Tsongkhapa. It was one of Lama Tsongkhapa's heart practices and, as such, has a special connection with the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.\\n\\nThe practice of Dorje Khadro comes highly praised for its power to purify negative karma in general, but especially for its ability to purify obstacles caused by broken vows and samaya related to highest yoga tantra. It also assists us in assembling the most conducive conditions for success in long retreats.\\n\\nThis practice is encouraged as a powerful way to help those who are sick or dying and as a method to readily clear the mind of challenging disturbing emotions.\\n\\nThe collection provides everything one needs to be able to do the complete ng\u00F6ndro of Dorje Khadro, the recitation of the principal mantra 100,000 times coupled with extensive visualization and prayers. The book's practice section includes the Dorje Khadro practice text, Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga and lam-rim and dedication prayers. In addition, the book contains teachings that contribute to a student's understanding of how to best engage in this practice.\\n\\nA precise commentary from Geshe Lama Konchog, an inspiring teaching from Lama Zopa Rinpoche based on a commentary written by Panchen Losang Ch\u00F6kyi Gy\u00E4ltsen, and a unique teaching from Lama Yeshe comprise the commentary section. The book's advice section includes guidelines for how to use the materials to complete the preliminary practice, either as a full-time retreat or as a daily practice.\\n\\n\\\"Offering the burning puja to Dorje Khadro is one of the very profound practices for purification, regarded as a golden Dharma, a precious one.

It falls into three approximately equal parts. The first is a reconstruction of the original Buddhism presupposed by the traditions of the different schools known to us. it uses primarily the established methods of textual criticism, drawing out of the oldest extant texts of the different schools their common kernel. The kernel of doctrine is presumbly common Buddhism of the period before the great schisms of the fourth and third centuries B.C. It may be substantially the Buddhism of the Buddha himself, though this cannot be proved: at any rate it is a Buddhism presupposed by the schools as existing about a hundred years after the Parinirvana of the Buddha, and there is no evidence to suggest that it was formulated by anyone other than the Buddha and his immediate followers.The second part traces the development of the 'Eighteen schools' of early Buddhism, showing how they elaborated their doctrines out of the common kernel. Here we can see to what extent the sthaviravada, or 'Theravada\\\" of the Pali tradition, among others, added to or modified the original doctrine. The third part describes the Mahayana movement and the Mantrayana, the way of the bopdhisattva and the way of ritual. The relationship of the Mahayana to the early schools is traced in detail, with its probable affiliation to one of them, the Purva Saila, as suggested by the consensus of the evidence.\\n\",\"image\":\"https://seattletheosophy.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/md31081275237.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-14T20:11:36.496Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5606,\"isbn\":\"9788004762667\",\"authors\":\"Melvyn C.

Most of the books which are available on Zen are superficial and fraught with caricatures and erroneous generalizations - concentrating more on meditation than on the real essence of Zen. Now the Christian who has been waiting for a clear and thorough explanation of Zen in terms he can understand has been provided with Zen Way\u2014Jesus Way\u2014a unique inside look at Christianity and Zen Buddhism by Dr. Tucker N. Callaway, a committed Christian missionary who for twenty years has practiced zazen in Japanese temples in an effort to reach the heart of the faith.\\n\\nCalloway has a knack for making philosophical concepts clear to the general reader and begins Zen Way\u2014Jesus Way by presenting the fundamental presuppositions of Zen and several of the concepts which are logically deduced from them. Next he relates some of his experiences in Buddhist temples, while explaining the practical applications of Zen philosophy. Finally he interprets the Jesus Way in a manner that makes possible a genuine comparison with the Zen way.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ux-LKVPNL._UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-14T19:42:38.513Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5603,\"isbn\":\"9780767904612\",\"authors\":\"Mark Epstein\",\"title\":\"Going on Being: Buddhism and the Way of Change\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Broadway Books\",\"pages\":\"\",\"year\":\"2001\",\"categories\":\"Physchology\",\"description\":\"A guide based on the author's experiences with Buddhist teachers including Ram Dass, Joseph Goldstein, and Jack Kornfield is a memoir of his early student years and a handbook on building self-awareness and implementing healthy change.

A household name in Thailand but still relatively unknown in the United States, Sulak Siviraksa joins with the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hahn in articulating a Buddhism that engages fully to advocate non-violently for social justice. Siviraksa, who founded the International Network of Engaged Buddhists, spent the the latter portion of 2017 under arrest and charged with l\u00E8se majest\u00E9 (insulting the king) in Thailand. His story is of particular relevance to today's United States.\\nSivaraksa's life exemplifies what 21st century leaders and activists need -- mindfulness, skillful means, and a fiercely kind heart. Roar weaves together Sulak Sivaraksa's struggle for social justice together with his spiritual life and his own equally challenging inner battles. For his activism, writings, and firebrand speeches, Sivaraksa has been exiled from Thailand twice, jailed and harassed, and repeatedly prosecuted for defaming the Thai monarchy. Still, no authority has been able to silence his roar.\\nRoar is the biography of this renowned Thai Buddhist activist, critic, and indomitable defender of the disenfranchised. Pistono's deft prose weaves together the story of Siviraksa's over fifty years of social-justice work and the leader's struggles with his spiritual life, inner demons, and work to balance meditation and family life with his tireless campaigns to affect change.

Karma Pakshi is considered influential in the development of the reincarnate lama tradition, a system that led to the lineage of the Dalai Lamas. Born in East Tibet in the thirteenth century, Karma Pakshi himself was the first master to be named Karmapa, a lineage that continues to modern times and has millions of admirers worldwide. During his lifetime, Karma Pakshi was widely acknowledged as a mah\u0101siddha\u2014a great spiritual adept\u2014and was therefore invited to the Mongol court at the apogee of its influence in Asia. He gave spiritual advice and meditation instructions to the emperor M\u04E7ngke Khan, whom he advised to engage in social policies, to release prisoners, and to adopt a vegetarian diet. After M\u04E7ngke\u2019s death, Karma Pakshi was imprisoned by the successive emperor Kubilai Khan, and much of Karma Pakshi\u2019s writing was done while he was captive in northeast China. He was eventually released and returned to Tibet, where he commissioned one of the medieval world\u2019s largest metal statues: a seated Buddha sixty feet high. Centuries later, two Buddhist meditation masters, the First Mingyur Rinpoche and Ch\u04E7gyam Trungpa Rinpoche, were inspired by Karma Pakshi to write meditation practices that are profoundly important to contemporary Tibetan Buddhist practitioners: respectively, the Karma Pakshi Guru Yoga and the S\u0101dhana of Mah\u0101mudr\u0101. This first-ever comprehensive biography of Karma Pakshi in English reveals new information about a pivotal historical figure in the development of Tibetan Buddhism and his interactions with two Mongol emperors. Also included are translations of several newly available songs attributed to Karma Pakshi and translations of ten excerpts of his writings on reincarnation, meditation, dreams, visionary experiences, tantra, and consecration. Details on the music of Karma Pakshi's singing of the ma\u1E47i mantra are also given.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=AWB0EAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-09T13:12:10.217Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5539,\"isbn\":\"9789610204107\",\"authors\":\"Lama Zopa Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"Advice and Practice for Death and Dying\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"For the Benefit of Self and Others\",\"publisher\":\"FPMT\",\"pages\":\"355\",\"year\":\"2003\",\"categories\":\"Prayers & Sadhanas\",\"description\":\"\",\"image\":\"https://imgs.search.brave.com/VwkeKU-NUIozBKcbV1f8OQ7Pbff_tlVw5xOiWL2zPrc/rs:fit:500:0:1:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbmxp/Z2h0ZW5tZW50dGhh/bmdrYS5jb20vY2Ru/L3Nob3AvZmlsZXMv/QW1pdGFiaGEtU2lu/Z2hhbS5qcGc_dj0x/NzA4NDMwNDc1Jndp/ZHRoPTI1MDA\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-05-09T13:11:03.078Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5538,\"isbn\":\"9781559390019\",\"authors\":\"Geshe Lhundub Sopa, Roger Jackson, John Newman\",\"title\":\"The Wheel of Time: The Kalachakra in Context\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"158\",\"year\":\"1985\",\"categories\":\"Kalachakra\",\"description\":\"The Kalachakra, or \\\"Wheel of Time,\\\" is one of the most profound and sublime of the Buddhist tantric systems.

It is therefore a history of a rather special kind, in that it shows the evolution of Buddhism primarily from the Tibetan perspective. Since Tibetan Buddhism is largely of Indian origin, the account is mainly one of past cultural contacts between India and Tibet, either directly or with Nepal as an intermediary. It is in the Himalayan regions that we must seek the cultural and archaeological traces of past contacts, and here also that we meet with the active influence of Tibetan religions in districts that have turned to the Tibetans for guidance, now that Buddhism has all but disappeared in the land of its origins. In an updated preface, the author draws attention to changes in interpretation and perspective that have quite properly taken place over the intervening years. While the substance of an account of this kind must be sound research, the inspiration has been provided by Dr. Snellgrove's own travels in these remote regions. A new addendum provides fascinating insight into details of the author's historic first travels into these areas in 1953.\",\"image\":\"https://cdn4.volusion.store/a2fgn-7fypc/v/vspfiles/photos/5171-2.jpg?v-cache=1353915173\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-21T16:45:16.053Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5481,\"isbn\":\"9787793432720\",\"authors\":\"Bhikkhu Bodhi\",\"title\":\"A Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Buddhist Publication Society\",\"pages\":\"400\",\"year\":\"1993\",\"categories\":\"Abhidharma\",\"description\":\"This modern translation of the Abhidhammattha Sangaha (Manual of Abhidhamma) offers an introduction to Buddhism's fundamental philosophical psychology.

He was born soon after the Chinese Republican Revolution and the painful years of Mongolia's Independence Movement. He saw the period of war lords in China, followed by the struggles for Chinese unification, the rise of the Kuowuntany party and the establishment of the Central Government in Nanking. Notable in this period was the spectacular rise of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Movement. The communist conquest of China had a decisive impact on the Kanjurwa's career and resulted in his flight to Taiwan, where he remained until his death.\\n\\nThis unique work grew out of a two-year series of Mongolian-language interviews with the Kanjurwa, taped at his monastic residence.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41VD4JM3JOL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-21T16:21:55.466Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5478,\"isbn\":\"9780271388458\",\"authors\":\"Shunzo Onoda\",\"title\":\"Monastic Debate in Tibet: A Study on the History and Structures of Bsdus Grwa Logic\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"University of Vienna\",\"pages\":\"254\",\"year\":\"1992\",\"categories\":\"Logic\",\"description\":\"\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/inventory/32082429803.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-21T14:25:17.217Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5477,\"isbn\":\"9780271043845\",\"authors\":\"Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Lama Thubten Yeshe\",\"title\":\"A Short Practice of Green Tara Including Praises to the Twenty-One Taras\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"FPMT\",\"pages\":\"29\",\"year\":\"2003\",\"categories\":\"Prayers & Sadhanas\",\"description\":\"Tara is a completely enlightened buddha who had previously promised to appear, after enlightenment, in the form of a female bodhisattva and goddess for the benefit of all beings.

An understanding of this faultline illuminates the beliefs that separate the Gelug descendents of Tsongkhapa from contemporary Dzogchen and Mahamudra adherents. The Two Truths Debate digs into the debate of how the two truths are defined and how they are related by looking at two figures, one on either side of the faultline, and shows how their philosophical positions have dramatic implications for how one approaches Buddhist practice and how one understands enlightenment itself.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wDLJ2TuJL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-21T13:00:08.483Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5468,\"isbn\":\"9780834802971\",\"authors\":\"Heinrich Dumoulin\",\"title\":\"Understanding Buddhism: Key Themes\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Weatherhill\",\"pages\":\"173\",\"year\":\"1994\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"An illuminating survey of key teachings, practices, and beliefs, including discussion of ancient and modern contacts between Buddhism and Western thought.

The research is based on the discovery of the lost manuscripts of Dharmakirti by Rahula Sankrtyayana and it can be considered to be a corrective to Stcherbatsky's Buddhist Logic which is the heart of Buddhist philosophy. Stcherbatsky recognised this treasure of critical philosophy as \\\"the most excellent achievement of Indian mind\\\" which has further been evaluated in this book.\",\"image\":\"https://archive.org/services/img/heartofbuddhistp0000sing/full/pct:200/0/default.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-19T15:10:29.600Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5444,\"isbn\":\"9780850305654\",\"authors\":\"Gerta Ital \",\"title\":\"The Master, The Monks and I\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"A Western Woman's Experience of Zen\",\"publisher\":\"Thorsons Publishing Group \",\"pages\":\"284\",\"year\":\"1987\",\"categories\":\"Women in Buddhism\",\"description\":\"The Master, the Monks and I: A Western Woman's Experience of Zen by Gerta Ital is an autobiographical account detailing the author's journey to Japan to study Zen Buddhism in the 1960s.

In the West, Marpa is best known through his teacher, the Indian yogin N\u00E2ropa, and through his closest disciple, Milarepa. This lucid and moving translation of a text composed by the author of The Life of Milarepa and The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa documents the fascinating life of Marpa, who, unlike many other Tibetan masters, was a layman, a skillful businessman who raised a family while training his disciples. As a youth, Marpa was inspired to travel to India to study the Buddhist teachings, for at that time in Tibet, Buddhism has waned considerably through ruthless suppression by an evil king. The author paints a vivid picture of Marpa's three journeys to India: precarious mountain passes, desolate plains teeming with bandits, greedy customs-tax collectors. Marpa endured many hardships, but nothing to compare with the trials that ensued with his guru N\u00E2ropa and other teachers. Yet Marpa succeeded in mastering the tantric teachings, translating and bringing them to Tibet, and establishing the Practice Lineage of the Kagy\u00FCs, which continues to this day.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Flt98TOwL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-15T10:26:31.226Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5409,\"isbn\":\"9781559392648\",\"authors\":\"Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"Zurchungpa's Testament\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"418\",\"year\":\"2006\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"Zurchungpa's Eighty Chapters of Personal Advice was the final teaching given by the great Nyingma master Zurchung Sherab Trakpa before he passed away. His counsels are the distillation of a lifetime's experience and comprise the practical instructions of a master who had made the teachings of the Great Perfection truly part of himself. The original text consists of almost 580 maxims, organized into eighty chapters covering the entire path of Dzogchen, from fundamental teachings on devotion and renunciation, through to a whole series of pith instructions that bring the Dzogchen view to life. Much of the meaning of these pithy, often cryptic, instructions could be lost on the reader without the help of the notes Shechen Gyaltsap Rinpoche provided in his annotated edition, which he based on the explanations he received from his own teacher, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo.\\n\\nThis book contains a complete detailed teaching on Zurchungpa's text by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, based on Shechen Gyaltsap's notes. Originally intended as essential instructions for a group of practitioners in three-year retreat, it will undoubtedly serve as an indispensable guide to anyone who seriously wishes to practice the Great Perfection.\\n\\nZurchung Sherab Trakpa (1014-1074) was a key teacher in the Zur tradition, one of the handful of kama lineages through which the teachings of the Ancient Tradition were transmitted from master to disciple, beginning with Guru Padmasambhava and Vimalamitra, right down to the Nyingma masters of the present day. He was a learned scholar and accomplished meditation master who spent many years in retreat, practicing the teachings of the Great Perfection.\\n\\nShechen Gyaltsap Rinpoche (1871-1926) was an important disciple of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo the Great and one of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's root teachers.

A devout monastic, Tsongkhapa took on the difficult task of locating and studying all of the Indian Buddhist classics available in Tibet in his day. He went on to synthesize this knowledge into a holistic approach to the path of awakening. In an achievement of incredible magnitude, he integrated the pivotal yet disparate Mahayana teachings on emptiness while retaining the important role of critical reason and avoiding the extreme of negating the reality of the everyday world.\\nIncluded in this volume is a discussion of Tsongkhapa's early life and training; his emergence as a precociously intelligent Buddhist mind; the composition of his Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, Great Exposition of Tantra, and many other important works; and his founding of the Lhasa Prayer Festival and Ganden Monastery.

It is a path to Nibbana and it is not secondary in any way to so called \\\"insight\\\" meditation. The Buddha and Sariputta et al were Jhana masters. It was their primary meditation. On the Buddha's death he reached Nibbana by the Jhanas. The Suttas say that the Jhanas slope towards Nibbana. Basically, in my opinion the teachings of this great Jhana master (The Buddha) have been hijacked with a focus away from the Jhanas. To study what the Theravada says about the Jhanas is like looking at a pure object through a clouded lens.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K-an-v7zL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-07T15:37:04.351Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5365,\"isbn\":\"9783671722495\",\"authors\":\"Bhikkhu Bodhi\",\"title\":\"The Discourse on the Root of Existence: The Mulapariyaya Sutta and its Commentaries\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Buddhist Publication Society\",\"pages\":\"79\",\"year\":\"1992\",\"categories\":\"Theravada\",\"description\":\"The Mulapariy\u0101ya Sutta, is considered one of the most important texts in the P\u0101li Canon. The Buddha taught it to clear away the mental obstructions preventing a correct grasp of his teaching and to open the way for insight to arise. It aims at eliminating the whole range of subjective misconceptions centered on the concept of an ego right down to their roots. It reveals the structure of man's ego-biased orientation towards the world, shows the way this mental stratification colors and distorts his understanding, and points out the work of inner re-orientation he must do to free himself from his egoistic bonds.\\n\\nThe present work offers an English translation of the discourse together with its commentarial exegesis, essential for understanding the many difficult passages occurring in the primary text. The presentation gives the sutta first, then follows it with an exegetical section containing the commentary and selected passages from the subcommentary. The introduction provides a detailed guide to the meaning of the sutta and explores its implications for epistemology, ontology, and psychology. It discusses important topics dealt with in the discourse such as the structure of ego- consciousness.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FhEvHFXiL._UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-07T14:42:35.796Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5364,\"isbn\":\"9788627172249\",\"authors\":\"Dr. Lobsang Rapgay\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Medicine: A Holistic approach to Better Health\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Indrapastha Press\",\"pages\":\"86\",\"year\":\"1985\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Medicine\",\"description\":\"Traditional Tibetan Medicine employs many different techniques and uses a holistic approach to health and well-being, considering constitutional, dietary, psychological, environmental and lifestyle factors.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715jjpjEPXL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-07T14:38:53.472Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5363,\"isbn\":\"9788622710224\",\"authors\":\"Nikolai S.

The lineage of this Mahayana system of meditation traces from Shakyamuni Buddha and was taken from India to Tibet by such masters as Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava and Vimalamitra. It has been transmitted mainly through the Nying-ma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and its oral teachings preserved unbroken until the present day.\\nThis text by Long-ch'en Ram-jam-pa (1303-1363), one of the greatest codifiers of the Dzog-ch'en teachings as witnessed by his trilogy Kindly Bent to Ease Us, is an exposition on the \\\"Four Themes of Gam-popa,\\\"the author of The Jewel Ornament of Liberation. It includes a survey of the nine vehicles to enlightenment as travelled progressively through the sutra, tantra, and Dzog-ch'en modes of approach, as well as a description of the goal.

Written with clarity and a refreshing directness, it investigates the origins of meditation, its meaning in different cultures, its psychology and metaphysics, and the achievement of self-knowledge. As an exploration of mysticism in world literature it ranges from the Yoga Sutra of Pata\u00F1jali, to the Interior Castle of St Teresa of Avila to Henry David Thoreau's Walden. In considering the future it finds that increased scientific interest in meditative phenomena - in psychology, anthropology, physiology, and parapsychology - is bridging the gap between subjective and objective knowledge, opening up the possibility of meditation becoming a powerful force in the evolution of human consciousness.\\nEach chapter ends with a brief commentary on a picture in the 'ox-taming' series of the classical Chinese Ch'an and Japanese Zen meditation tradition, in which the author elaborates on the ox-taming allegory of the process by which one attains enlightenment.\\nProfessor Johnson's book is unique in that it is free of any attachment to particular cults or traditions. Based upon his own findings, Riding the Ox Home serves as an excellent and highly accessible introduction to the field and offers practical advice in the appendices to readers who wish to deepen their knowledge of the subject or who would take up meditation themselves.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+iA+uxP5L._SL1500_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-06T11:12:06.098Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5340,\"isbn\":\"9780520049468\",\"authors\":\"Keiji Nishitani\",\"title\":\"Religion and Nothingness\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"University of California Press\",\"pages\":\"317\",\"year\":\"1983\",\"categories\":\"Philosophy\",\"description\":\"In Religion and Nothingness the leading representative of the Kyoto School of Philosophy lays the foundation of thought for a world in the making, for a world united beyond the differences of East and West. Keiji Nishitani notes the irreversible trend of Western civilization to nihilism, and singles out the conquest of nihilism as the task for contemporary philosophy. Nihility, or relative nothingness, can only be overcome by being radicalized to Emptiness, or absolute nothingness. Taking absolute nothingness as the fundamental notion in rational explanations of the Eastern experience of human life, Professor Nishitani examines the relevance of this notion for contemporary life, and in particular for Western philosophical theories and religious believes. Everywhere his basic intention remains the same: to direct our modern predicament to a resolution through this insight.\\n\\nThe challenge that the thought of Keiji Nishitani presents to the West, as a modern version of an Eastern speculative tradition that is every bit as old and as variegated as our own, is one that brings into unity the principle of reality and the principle of salvation. In the process, one traditional Western idea after another comes under scrutiny: the dichotomy of faith and reason, of being and substance, the personal and transcendent notions of God, the exaggerated role given to the knowing ego, and even the Judeo-Christian view of history itself.\\n\\nReligion and Nothingness represents the major work of one of Japan's most powerful and committed philosophical minds.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61H182NgxWL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-06T11:11:15.087Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5339,\"isbn\":\"9787911401805\",\"authors\":\"Gadjin M.

It goes far toward replacing the previous supposition that this Tantra can be understood by mere reading by one oblivious of the extensive commerentarial tradition that incorporates the procepts of the Gurus.The author has used the edited Sanskrit texts the Pradipaddyotana Ms the relevant texts translated into Tibetan in the Kanjur and Tanjur and thirteen Tibetan works on the Tantra by Tsong kha pa founder of the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91FsyX6klLL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-04-03T14:08:14.438Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5316,\"isbn\":\"9781478033110\",\"authors\":\"Tsering Woeser, Edited and translated by Fiona Sze-Lorrain with Dechen Pemba\",\"title\":\"Ocean, as Much as Rain\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Duke University Press\",\"pages\":\"202\",\"year\":\"2026\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"Ocean, as Much as Rain presents for the first time in the English-language world a collection of masterfully translated literary writings by prominent Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser. In these stories, lyrical essays, and poetry, Woeser interweaves texts, photographs, silences, and documentary details. Featuring a distinctively imaginative use of satire and digressive rhetoric, Woeser's stories bring to life Tibetan characters whose lives are entwined with politics, history, and religion. Woeser illuminates the ruins and places that she has come across during her various sojourns in Chinese-ruled Tibet, reviving sites from the past of her parents and their generation. These writings range from ingenious retellings of cultural encounters and confrontation to insightful commentaries on ecological issues and tourism in Tibet that never shun contradictions, dilemmas, or questions about the future. With an introduction by Fiona Sze-Lorrain and an author interview by editors-translators Sze-Lorrain and Dechen Pemba, Ocean, as Much as Rain is a landmark publication that celebrates the work of a steadfast dissident and a leading Tibetan literary figure of our

An early step in accomplishing this change is the abandonment of specific mistaken notions about the Buddha\u2019s teaching and about the nature of experience. This initial change in specific views may lead to a change in point-of-view, where one comes to understand experiences from a perspective different from what one has been accustomed to\u2014a perspective in which intention, responsibility, context, conditionality, and related terms will describe the fundamental categories of one\u2019s perception and thinking\u2014and which can lead to a fundamental insight about the nature of personal existence. Such a change of attitude seldom occurs without considerable prior development, and this book is intended to serve as a tool in fostering that development\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91so2H6gRWL._SL1500_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-31T17:59:05.258Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5309,\"isbn\":\"9781870205115\",\"authors\":\"Ajahn Sumedho\",\"title\":\"The Way it is\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Amaravati Publications\",\"pages\":\"177\",\"year\":\"1991\",\"categories\":\"Theravada\",\"description\":\"This book contains a collection of teachings of Ajahn Sumedho given to people who are familiar with the conventions of Theravada Buddhism and have some experience of meditation. Most of the chapters are edited from talks given during retreats for lay people for Ajahn Sumedho\u2019s monastic (ordained) disciples, so they require some careful attention and are best read in sequence.\\n\\nIn the monastic retreats Ajahn Sumedho develops a theme from the Buddha\u2019s teaching over a couple of months, linking it to other aspects of the Dhamma, embellishing it with accounts of his personal experiences, demonstrating its relevance to the society in general, or using it as an exhortation to the Sangha to live up to their aspiration of enlightenment. Although it is not possible to render the tonal depth and variety of these talks in a printed work, the mixture of short exhortations and pointers, longer contemplative reflections mingled with the chants that the monks and nuns will be reciting daily (and have been doing so for years) may suggest the atmosphere and scope within which the teachings are offered.\\n\\nIn many of these talks Ajahn Sumedho expounds on the uniquely Buddhist expression of \u2018not-self\u2019 (anatta). He maintains this to be the Buddha\u2019s way of pointing to the experience of Ultimate Reality that is the goal of many religions. During the monastic retreats Ajahn Sumedho frequently teaches the Dependent Origination paticca-samuppada based on the approach of anatta. The Dependent Origination traces the process whereby suffering (dukkha) is compounded out of ignorance (avijja) and conversely suffering is eliminated (or rather not created ) with the cessation of ignorance. Just as anatta \u2014 not-self \u2014 is the expression of Ultimate Truth, Ajahn Sumedho suggests that the root of ignorance is the illusion of Self\u2019. Not that he is trying to annihilate or reject some personal qualities but rather to point out how suffering arises through attempting to sustain an identity denoted by body and mind.\\n\\nThis mistaken identity is what the average person calls \u2018myself\u2019. It can be detected in a latent state as self-consciousness, or as habitual mood of the mind such as conceit or self-criticism, or it can manifest as selfish bodily or verbal activity. The profundity of the Dependent Origination is that it describes how even at its most passive, such wrong view creates habitual drives (kamma) and attitudes through which even a silent and well-intentioned meditator experiences suffering. What is called kamma (habitual drives) ranges from the \u2018internal\u2019, psychological plane to the \u2018outer\u2019 realm of action. This habitual process then manifests in terms of body, speech or mind; all such manifestations being termed sankhara. Even moral action based on \u2018self-view\u2019 can lead to anxiety, doubt, \u2018sorrow, grief, pain, lamentation and despair\u2019. Such is the meaning of the first \u2018link\u2019 of Dependent Origination \u2018avijjapaccaya sankhara\u2019 or \u2018dependent on ignorance are kammic formations\u2019.\\n\\nExcerpt From: Ajahn Sumedho. \u201CThe way it is.\u201D\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Cx-I-MBiL._SL1500_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-31T17:48:42.398Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5308,\"isbn\":\"9780937938669\",\"authors\":\"Tulki Thondup Rinpoche, Edited by Harold Talbott\",\"title\":\"Buddha Mind: An Anthology of Longchen Rabjam's Writing on Dzogpa Chenpo\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"\",\"year\":\"1989\",\"categories\":\"Dzogchen\",\"description\":\"Buddha Mind: An Anthology of Longchen Rabjam's Writing on Dzogpa Chenpo\\\" is a carefully curated collection of writings by the great Tibetan Buddhist master Longchen Rabjam (Longchenpa), focusing on the profound teachings of Dzogpa Chenpo, or the Great Perfection.\\n\\nThis anthology distills the essence of Longchenpa\u2019s spiritual vision, presenting his poetic and philosophical reflections on the nature of mind, reality, and enlightenment.

Meditators are increasingly inclined to compare and evaluate critically what the different contemporary meditation masters have to say, to weigh up the results of relevant scientific studies, or to consult translations of the primary texts in search of the Buddha's 'original' teachings on meditation. Writers on meditation are also increasingly adopting an appropriately critical approach, particularly as regards the reliability of textual accounts. Relatively few still commit the old error of assuming that the Pali canon is a complete and faithful record of what the Buddha said on the subject, or that the classical commentators were infallible authorities.

It examines how the doctrine evolved within early Buddhism from efforts to make sense of contradictions within the collected sayings of the Buddha. The two truths, however, came to refer not primarily to statements or language, but to the realities to which statements or language referred. As such, the doctrine of the two truths became one through which Buddhist philosophers focused their efforts to elaborate an abhidharma, a higher teaching which allowed them to explain how the mind apprehends and misapprehends the world, how it attaches itself to objects that do not exist in and of themselves, thereby creating suffering. In effect, the doctrine then evolved into a distinction between different sorts of objects rather than a distinction between different sorts of statements.\\nThe doctrine of the truths understood in this way played a key role in the articulation of the Mahayana by its followers in distinguishing it from what they called Hinayana, especially in defining the central ideas of selflessness and emptiness. Unlike prior books on this topic which concentrate on the doctrine within the context of the Mahayana, Buescher's examines it within the context of the Hinayana. Tibetan Buddhist syntheses of Buddhist doctrine provide a fascinating perspective from which to compare the positions of the major Indian schools. Such works, however, often lack the historical perspective from which to discern the development of these positions.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51g0iYRN0VL._SL1200_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-30T15:03:24.832Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5281,\"isbn\":\"9780708823514\",\"authors\":\"Charles Allen\",\"title\":\"A Mountain in Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Futura\",\"pages\":\"254\",\"year\":\"1982\",\"categories\":\"Travel/Lands and Culture\",\"description\":\"Throughout the East there runs a legend of a great mountain at the centre of the world, where four rivers have their source.

Through a detailed analysis of this sutra, Studholme explores the historical and doctrinal forces behind the appearance of O Maipadme H\u016B in India at around the middle of the first millennium C.E. He argues that the K\u0101raavy\u016Bha has close affinities to non-Buddhist puranic literature, and that the conception of Avalokite\u015Bvara and his six-syllable mantra is informed by the conception of the Hindu deity \u015Aiva and his five-syllable mantra Nama \u015Aiv\u0101ya. The sutra reflects an historical situation in which the Buddhist monastic establishment was coming into contact with Buddhist tantric practitioners, themselves influenced by Saivite practitioners.\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/inventory/md/md30794350040.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-30T13:55:13.622Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5267,\"isbn\":\"9780791425145\",\"authors\":\"Richard King\",\"title\":\"Early Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism: The Mahayana Context of the Gaudapadiya-karika\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"State University of New York Press\",\"pages\":\"341\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"This book provides an in-depth analysis of the doctrines of early Advaita Vedanta and Indian Mahayana Buddhism in order to examine the origins of Vedanta.\\n\\nThis book provides an in-depth analysis of the doctrines of early Advaita and Buddhism that has important implications for the question of the relationship between Hindu and Buddhist thought.

A major theme of the Buddha\u2019s teaching \u2013 known as the Dhamma \u2013 is that suffering is caused by attachment, and that the aim and result of the correct application of the teachings is a mind of non-attachment.\\n\\nActually, through the practice of Buddhist meditation, the very impression of a substantial permanent mind is understood as being a mirage, the result of attaching to a sequence of fleeting mental states. As long as that model of permanence is retained \u2013 even with the wish to have or be a permanently non-attached mind \u2013 it will give rise to further painful (if subtle) I attachment. So the \u2018cittaviveka\u2019 is not another fixed mental state, but a sensitive response in each moment, a non-grasping that Ajahn Sumedho frequently calls \u2018letting go\u2019. This practice of lightness or \u2018enlightenment\u2019 is not a matter of affirmation or rejection, but of a clear-minded investigation of what we can know through our senses.

A \\\"poet, philosopher, house builder, scientist, doctor, and when necessary, kung fu ass-kicker,\\\" Tsung Tsai would still be wandering about anonymously if it were not, Crane says, for the need of financing provided by an advance on this book. The last of the monks from his Chinese monastery, Tsung Tsai felt he had to return one last time to find and honor his master's bones and rekindle his tradition. Crane recounts their joint adventure, opening with Tsung Tsai's harrowing decades-earlier escape from newly communist China, walking from Inner Mongolia to Hong Kong through a war-torn, famine-struck, psychotic land, nearly starving along the way. Crane, a self-styled hedonist ne'er-do-well, who says that meditation makes him nauseous, sets the stage for an entrancing buddy story back to China with this highly disciplined but carefree Zen master. As their mutual affection grows, Crane absorbs Tsung Tsai's spare but demanding philosophy, which sustains them through the base poverty of northern China, a life-threatening 18-hour climb up and down a treacherous mountain, and a confrontation with a master of black magic. A page-turner and an eye-opener, Bones of the Master is worth every penny of that advance. --Brian Bruya\",\"image\":\"https://sdi4.chrislands.com/sdi/978/05/53/1/9780553106503.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-30T11:47:06.936Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5254,\"isbn\":\"9780861711765\",\"authors\":\"Bhante Henepola Gunaratana\",\"title\":\"Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness: Walking the Buddha's Path\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":\"268\",\"year\":\"2001\",\"categories\":\"Meditation\",\"description\":\"In his classic and engaging style, Bhante Henepola Gunaratana explores the Noble Eightfold Path\u2014the Buddha\u2019s most profound teaching on ending suffering\u2014in a way that\u2019s practical, relatable, and deeply inspiring.\\n\\nEight Mindful Steps to Happiness offers clear, compassionate guidance for applying mindfulness and ethical living to every part of your daily life.\\n\\nInside, you\u2019ll learn how to:\\nHandle anger and emotional challenges skillfully\\nFind and follow a right livelihood\\nCultivate loving-friendliness (metta)\\nRecognize and overcome the mental hindrances that block happiness\\nWhether you're an experienced meditator or brand new to the path, this down-to-earth guide will help you deepen your understanding of the Buddha\u2019s teachings and live a more mindful, joyful life.\\n\\nBring peace, clarity, and compassion into every step you take\u2014on and off the cushion.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388195506i/11000.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-30T11:43:46.527Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5253,\"isbn\":\"9781611808254\",\"authors\":\"Sam Van Schaik\",\"title\":\"Buddhist Magic: Divination, Healing and Enchantment Through the Ages\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":\"225\",\"year\":\"2020\",\"categories\":\"General Buddhism\",\"description\":\"As far back as we can see in the historical record, Buddhist monks and nuns have offered services including healing, divination, rain making, aggressive magic, and love magic to local clients. Studying this history, scholar Sam van Schaik concludes that magic and healing have played a key role in Buddhism's flourishing, yet they have rarely been studied in academic circles or by Western practitioners. The exclusion of magical practices and powers from most discussions of Buddhism in the modern era can be seen as part of the appropriation of Buddhism by Westerners, as well as an effect of modernization movements within Asian Buddhism. However, if we are to understand the way Buddhism has worked in the past, the way it still works now in many societies, and the way it can work in the future, we need to examine these overlooked aspects of Buddhist practice.\\n\\nIn Buddhist Magic, van Schaik takes a book of spells and rituals--one of the earliest that has survived--from the Silk Road site of Dunhuang as the key reference point for discussing Buddhist magic in Tibet and beyond. After situating Buddhist magic within a cross-cultural history of world magic, he discusses sources of magic in Buddhist scripture, early Buddhist rituals of protection, medicine and the spread of Buddhism, and magic users. Including material from across the vast array of Buddhist traditions, van Schaik offers readers a fascinating, nuanced view of a topic that has too long been ignored.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BlHP2f0KL._AC_UY327_FMwebp_QL65_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-30T11:41:03.996Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5252,\"isbn\":\"9781614293231\",\"authors\":\"Geshe Lhundrub Sopa, with Dechen Rochard\",\"title\":\"Steps on the Path to Enlightenment Volume 5: Insight\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"A commentary on Tsongkhapa's Lamrim Chenmo\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":\"\",\"year\":\"2017\",\"categories\":\"Lamrim\",\"description\":\"The late Geshe Sopa was a refugee monk from Tibet sent to the United States by the Dalai Lama in 1963.

What we have here is an extraordinary introduction to Zen thought as lived thought, a treasury of problems, paradoxes, and performance that will appeal to artists, writers, and philosophers as well as Buddhists and students of religion.\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780553028096-uk-300.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-26T15:01:43.233Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5173,\"isbn\":\"9780394731766\",\"authors\":\"Irmgard Schloegl\",\"title\":\"The Zen Teaching Of Rinzai\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":\"96\",\"year\":\"1975\",\"categories\":\"Zen\",\"description\":\"Rinzai Gigen was the founder of the Linji, or RINZAI school of Zen / Chan Buddhism during T'ang Dynasty China.

The Anguttara arranges the Buddha s discourses in accordance with a numerical scheme intended to promote retention and easy comprehension. In an age when writing was still in its infancy, this proved to be the most effective way to ensure that the disciples could grasp and replicate the structure of a teaching. A broad survey of the Anguttara Nikaya shows that its primary focus is on practice, and it treats practice from a wide-angle perspective. The subjects of the discourses range from the basic ethical observances recommended to the busy layperson, through the pillars of mind training, to the highest meditative attainments. The Anguttara is also distinguished among the four Nikayas by its interest in types of persons, which it describes and classifies in detail, often with stunning similes. In such a work, it is fitting that the Buddha appears, not merely as a teacher, but as a real person with his own life story and achievements.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713GdQ2n0XL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-22T14:54:33.528Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5134,\"isbn\":\"9781614292777\",\"authors\":\"Mahasi Sayadaw, Translated by Vipassana Metta Foundation \",\"title\":\"Manual of Insight\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":\"\",\"year\":\"2016\",\"categories\":\"Theravada\",\"description\":\"The most comprehensive manual of the practice of insight meditation (vipassana), written by one of its foremost 20th century proponents, is translated into English for the first time.\\n\\nManual of Insight is the magnum opus of Mahasi Sayadaw, one of the originators of the \u201Cvipassana movement\u201D that has swept through the Buddhist world over the last hundred years.

If you wish to bring an end to suffering, you must develop wisdom.\\\" Shantideva's ninth chapter is revered in Tibetan Buddhist circles as one of the most authoritative expositions of the Buddha's core insight, and all other Buddhist practices are means to support the generation of this wisdom within the practitioner. In Practicing Wisdom, the Dalai Lama reaffirms his reputation as a great scholar, communicator, and embodiment of the Buddha's Way by illuminating Shantideva's verses, drawing on contrasting commentaries from the Nyingma and Gelug lineages, and leading the reader through the stages of insight up to the highest view of emptiness. These teachings, delivered in southern France in 1993, have been masterfully translated, edited, and annotated by Geshe Thupten Jinpa, the Dalai Lama's primary translator and founder of the Institute of Tibetan Classics.\",\"image\":\"https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMOI2qjkDCPE1FDMWQyXwuUwecwMjdRW7yFInLu6rHPQvEdRlMh4bU8Br-UzoVzxbD1ngn8kDiVfKDrMRCSDE6kbAvrA49iO7b2H5NgBA&s=10\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-19T16:37:43.830Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5130,\"isbn\":\"9627341266\",\"authors\":\"Tsele Natsok Rangdrol\",\"title\":\"The Heart of the Matter\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Rangjung Yeshe Publications\",\"pages\":\"111\",\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"The Heart of the Matter is both concise and comprehensible.

Jeffrey Hopkins concludes this book with an outline of the steps of Yoga Tantra practice. This is an invaluable book for anyone who is practicing or interested in Buddhist tantra in general.\\n\\nThis is the third book in a series presenting The Great Exposition of Secret Mantra. The first two books are Tantra in Tibet and Deity Yoga. Tantra in Tibet, part one of The Great Exposition, describes the differences between the Lesser and Great Vehicles, and between the Sutra and Mantra Great Vehicles. Deity Yoga, parts two and three of The Great Exposition, presents Action Tantra and Performance Tantra.\",\"image\":\"https://media.s-bol.com/7j7kEl5ZWXr/550x830.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-16T16:43:23.505Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5125,\"isbn\":\"9780195178500\",\"authors\":\"Anne Carolyn Klein & Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"Unbounded Wholeness: Dzogchen, Bon, and the Logic of the Nonconceptual\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Oxford University Press\",\"pages\":\"395\",\"year\":\"2006\",\"categories\":\"Bonpo\",\"description\":\"Dzogchen, meaning \\\"great perfection\\\" in Tibetan, is an advanced practice associated particularly with Bon, the native religion of Tibet, and Nynigma School of Tibetan Buddhism. Both these traditions describe their teaching as comprising nine Ways or paths of practice leading to enlightenment or realization, and in both classifications, Dzogchen is the ninth and highest Way. While its immediate associations are with these two traditions, Dzogchen is now taught in all Tibetan sects. In this book, Anne Klein, an American scholar of Buddhism, and Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, a native Tibetan who was the first to bring Dzogchen teachings to the west, provide a study and translation of the Authenticity of Open Awareness, a foundational text of the Bon Dzogchen tradition. This will be the first time any text from this tradition has been translated into any Western language, and as such will be a major contribution to the study of Tibetan religion and eastern thought more generally. Klein and Rinpoche also provide extensive introductory and explanatory material that situates the text in the context of Tibetan thought and makes it accessible to nonspecialists.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71shagu-nGL._SL1360_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-16T16:14:32.442Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5124,\"isbn\":\"9789937623155\",\"authors\":\"John Myrdhin Reynolds\",\"title\":\"The Precepts of the Dharmakaya\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Vajra Books\",\"pages\":\"311\",\"year\":\"2014\",\"categories\":\"Bonpo\",\"description\":\" The teachings of Bon are organized into nine ways, or nine vehicles to enlightenment, the ninth and highest of which is known as Dzogchen, \\\"the Great Perfection.\\\" Among the four principal traditions of Bonpo Dzogchen, the oral tradition from the country of Zhangzhung is of unique importance because it never became a Terma, or hidden treasure text rediscovered long after its original composition. The precepts of Dzogchen were said to have originated with the Primordial Buddha, Kuntu Zangpo, passing down at fi rst through the Direct Mind-to-Mind Transmission and then later through the Oral Transmission of the Twenty-Four Masters, all of whom attained the Rainbow Body of Light. In Zhang-zhung in the 7th century, these precepts were communicated by the last in this line of masters to his disciple Tapihritsa, who subsequently attained Buddha enlightenment through the practice of vision, or Thodgal. In the next century, he appeared on a number of occasions at the Darok Lake in Zhangzhung, or Northwestern Tibet, to the Tantric master Gyerpung Nangzher Lodpo, who set down these precepts in writing for the fi rst time in the Zhang-zhung language. In the next century, they were translated into Tibetan and thus these precepts have come down to our own day in an unbroken line of transmission. The teachings of the Zhang-zhung Nyan-gyud, \\\"the Oral Tradition from Zhang-zhung,\\\" are classified into four cycles of texts, which are designated outer, inner, secret, and exceedingly secret. Accordingly, these precepts are said to represent the actual words of the enlightened master Tapihritsa. The outer cycle focuses on the general view of Dzogchen, the inner cycle on the practice of contemplation, or Trekchod, the secret cycle on the practice of vision, or Thodgal, and the very secret cycle on the removing of doubts with regard to the Natural State of the Nature of Mind being the source of all visions, both in meditation practice and in normal life.\\n\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fe+aRaylL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-16T16:10:04.727Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5123,\"isbn\":\"9781570621024\",\"authors\":\"David Snellgrove & High Richardson\",\"title\":\"A Cultural History of Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":\"309\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"The civilization of the Tibetan people is disappearing before our very eyes, and apart from a few gentle protests here and there, the rest of the world lets it go without comment and without regret. Many civilizations have declined and disintegrated in the past, but it is rare that one has the opportunity of being an informed witness of such events.' - The Cultural History of Tibet This revised edition of the classic work on the rapidly vanishing civilization of Tibet traces the evolution of Tibetan culture from its origins to Tibet's fall to the Chinese Communists in 1959 and the subsequent relocation of Tibetan culture and many Tibetan people. The authors illuminate the many facets of Tibetan culture, including the geography of Tibet, religion, artistic and literary development, and contemporary Tibetan politics. In discussing the history of this rich Central Asian civilization, they draw parallels with developments in historical Western Europe, as well as detail the assimilation of cultural influences from India and China. The text is illustrated with many rare photographs depicting the art, architecture, secular and sacred objects of Tibet. David Snellgrove, Ph.D., D.Litt., was Professor of Tibetan Studies at the University of London. He is a fellow of the British Academy and author of numerous books and articles on Himalayan and Southeast Asian civilizations. Since 1995 he has divided his time between homes in northern Italy and Cambodia. Hugh Richardson was in the civil and foreign services in India and was the last British/Indian Representative in Tibet (until 1950). He taught Tibetan history and language in the US and Europe, and was the author of Tibet and its History. His recent passing is eloquently eulogized in the preface of this edition.

Although it was the last major school to emerge in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Geluk school has left an indelible mark on Buddhist thought and practice. The intellectual and spiritual brilliance of its founder, the great Tsongkhapa (1357\u20131419), has inspired generations of scholars and tantric yogis to place him at the heart of their daily meditative practice. The Geluk tradition\u2019s close ties to the Dalai Lamas have also afforded it an outsized influence in all aspects of Tibetan life for centuries. At its peak its combined monasteries boasted a population in the tens of thousands, and its sway encompassed the religious landscape of Mongolia and much of Central Asia. This widespread religious activity fostered a rich literary tradition, and fifteen seminal works are featured here representing four genres of that tradition. They include works on the stages of the path, or lamrim, the genre for which the Geluk is most renowned; works on guru yoga, centered around the core Geluk ritual Offering to the Guru (Lama Ch\u00F6pa); teachings from the unique oral transmission of Geluk mahamudra, meditation on the nature of mind; and instructions on the three essential points\u2014what to practice in life, at death, and in the bardo.

In 2003, Tibetan lama Phakyab Rinpoche was arrested, imprisoned, and tortured by Chinese officials bent on uprooting Tibet s indigenous religion. Although Rinpoche escaped his captors and fled to New York, his ordeal left him with life-threatening injuries, including gangrene of the ankle. At Bellevue Hospital, doctors gave Rinpoche a shocking choice: accept leg amputation or risk a slow, painful death. However, an inner voice prompted him to try a non-western cure meditation. Rinpoche began an intensive yoga routine that included thousands of hours of meditation, and against all scientific logic, his injuries gradually healed. As his mentor the Dalai Lama told him, You have within you wisdom that will give you the strength to heal. In Meditation Saved My Life, Rinpoche shows us that we all have great healing powers that lie dormant within us.\\\"\",\"image\":\"https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTt9TXYLsvk6ZZOUktB4z0iGO0vXiaNi3V5-w&s\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-15T15:07:21.472Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[{\"id\":42,\"user_id\":\"hf6LkeuyrAXhIfvPwOoH4lGoTxZce1mh\",\"book_id\":5085,\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-06-07T09:43:03.541Z\"},\"returned\":null,\"notifications\":0,\"last_notification\":null,\"renewal_notified\":false}]},{\"id\":5084,\"isbn\":\"9780394552521\",\"authors\":\"Thomas Cleary \",\"title\":\"The Flower Ornament Scripture \",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"The Avatamsaka Sutra \",\"publisher\":\"Shambala \",\"pages\":\"448\",\"year\":\"1986\",\"categories\":\"Sutra\",\"description\":\"The Flower Ornament Scripture: A Translation of the Avatamsaka Sutra, Volume 2 by Thomas Cleary is a key part of a definitive English translation of one of Mahayana Buddhism's most profound and expansive texts.

Together they provide a vivid picture of the Buddha and of the vast and profound nature of the Buddhist tradition.\",\"image\":\"https://d32vymxhv9fq6b.cloudfront.net/images/books/large/97801/9780140440881.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-12T15:40:44.484Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5046,\"isbn\":\"9789627341338\",\"authors\":\"Padmasambhava, Commentary by Jamgon Kongtrul\",\"title\":\"The Light Of Wisdom Vol II\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Rangjung Yeshe Publications \",\"pages\":\"216\",\"year\":\"1986\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"The Light of Wisdom Vol. II contains the root terma - hidden treasure text of Padmasambhava, The gradual Path of the Wisdom Essence and its commentary The Light of Wisdom by Jamgon Kongtrul the Great.

Exploring in rich detail the beliefs of small-scale societies of West Africa, Melanesia, traditional Siberia, Canada, and the northwest coast of North America, the book compares their ideas with those of the ancient and modern Indic civilizations and with the Greek rebirth theories of Pythagoras, Empedocles, Pindar, and Plato. This discussion decenters the popular notion that India was the origin and locus of ideas of rebirth. As the book compares responses to the most fundamental questions of human existence, it challenges readers to reexamine accepted ideas about death, cosmology, morality, and eschatology. This inquiry shows that diverse societies have come through independent invention or borrowing to believe in reincarnation as an integral part of their larger cosmological systems. It brings together into a coherent methodological framework the thought of such diverse thinkers as Weber, Wittgenstein, and Nietzsche.

Hicks, a British expert on Tibet, and Chogyam, a Tibetan teacher of Buddhism, compress the complex history of Tibetan Buddhism and the ascendency of the Dalai Lamas--the allegedly reincarnated, political and spiritual leaders of Tibet--into a few opening chapters. In 1391, we learn, the first Dalai Lama was born; through various occult signs (including a hovering crow), he was soon recognized as a spiritually unique being. His second incarnation, the authors explain, was named Gyatso, or \\\"\\\"Ocean,\\\"\\\" while the third earned the title \\\"\\\"Dalai\\\"\\\"--a garbling of the Mongol word for Ocean--from warrior Mongols who protected him from imperialistic Chinese. Such arcane bits of Tibetan lore--including a sketchy recounting of the magical process used for discovering the current Dalai Lama--soon give way to the authors' detailing of the devastation of Tibet by the Chinese, and the efforts of the young Fourteenth Dalai Lama to rally his war-shocked people to reconstruct their culture and their religion in exile. The most intriguing sections, however, describe the contemporary daily activities of the Dalai Lama--e.g., as he sits at lunch, air pistol by his plate, waiting until he sees a wasp try to drag another insect's babies out of their nest: Bang! the alleged living embodiment of compassion shoots the wasp, killing one being to stop the suffering of many. A respectable if adulatory introduction--but John Avedon's In Exile From the Land of the Snows (1984) remains the definitive and most powerful account of Tibet and its god-king.\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780906540619-us.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-03-09T15:23:52.019Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5029,\"isbn\":\"9781401941468\",\"authors\":\"Matteo Pistono\",\"title\":\"Fearless in Tibet: Life of the Mystic Terton Sogyal\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Hay House, inc\",\"pages\":\"351\",\"year\":\"2014\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"Through the life of one of the great masters of Buddhist thought past, Matteo Pistono powerfully shows a route for all people to live in harmony and with unbelievable powers\\n\\nNineteenth-century Tibetan mystic Tert\u00F6n Sogyal was a visionary, whose mastery of meditation led him to be a revered teacher to the Thirteenth Dalai Lama.

Pachow is one of those extremely rare scholars who can conduct research in all the mother tongues of the Buddhist tradition, Pali, Sanskrit, Classical Chinese, and Tibetan. Dr. Pachow is currently Professor Emeritus of Asian Religions and Buddhist Studies at Iowa State University in Iowa City. He has an extensive resume of publications in both English and Chinese which include translations from Chinese sutras, the poetry of the India poet Tagore, as well as several comparative studies of Buddhist texts.\\n\\nWhile his \\\"A Comparative Study of the Pratimoksa\\\" is essentially a revised edition of his doctoral dissertation, first published in 1955 and then released again in 2000, his book provides a succinct overview to the creation and evolution of the Pratimoksa or Buddhist Monastic Rules as well as on the fortnightly ceremonies where the entire text is recited in monasteries and monks and nuns confess their transgressions. His work consists of three parts, an \\\"Introduction,\\\" a \\\"Comparison of the Pratimoksa Texts of Various Versions Belonging to Various Schools,\\\" and a section of five appendices that map out discrepancies and gaps in the number and content of the regulations maintained among the various versions of the text.\\n\\nSuch works on the formation of the Buddhist Canon are extremely hard to find, especially those that can span the compass of so many different Asian traditions. While my own training is insufficient to comment on the merits of his argument that the text of the Mahasanghika School is the most ancient version of the Pratimoksa, I will say that through his use of tables, he clearly establishes how much these different traditions have in common. Pachow demonstrates that of the eight different categories of rules, it is only for the regulations concerning decorum (Saiksa) that the traditions diverge. Pachow also offers useful commentary on the points of concern for the first Buddhist Councils as well as the contributions of Jainism and Hinduism to the formation of the Buddhist world view.\\n\\nThis book is not intended for the casual reader but the scholar. There are times when I have wished Pachow would have brought his generalizations and insights to the front of his text rather than mentioning them only at the conclusion of a subtle point in his very precise analysis. His phrasing also harks back to an era of humble exposition. His intense reserve despite his magnificent scholarship can make the display of his ideas hard to anticipate and grasp. Surely a second generation of Western Buddhist scholars can use his work to bridge that gap between the subtle and the practical.\\n\\nUnlike many other academic works, Pachow provides a concise overview of the problems of the studies of early texts, including variation in language, translator's errors, and commentary based on faulty understanding. His commentary on the problems of translating social context as well as written text is especially helpful when the social actions and expectations that served as the ground of a new rule would not convey in the reading by latter schools because the latter cultures did not have such institutions. In short, Pachow's work, especially with its rich footnotes and citations, as well as thorough textual analysis, should be considered essential reading for anyone interested in the early history of Buddhism and the formation of the world's oldest monastic

The Sutra of Complete Enlightenment, a central text that shaped the development of East Asian Buddhism and Ch'an (Chinese Zen). The text is set in the form of a transcription of discussions between the Buddha and the twelve enlightened beings(bodhisattvas), who question him on all aspects of spiritual practice.\\nThis new translation preserves all the liveliness and nuance of the text in the original Chinese.

Evans-Wentz, the late editor of this volume, that triggered our ongoing occidental fascination with such phenomena as yoga, Zen, and meditation. Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines--a companion to the popular Tibetan Book of the Dead, which is also published by Oxford in an authoritative Evans-Wentz edition--is a collection of seven authentic Tibetan yoga texts that first appeared in English in 1935.\\n\\nIn these pages, amid useful photographs and reproductions of yoga paintings and manuscripts, readers will encounter some of the principal meditations used by Hindu and Tibetan gurus and philosophers throughout the ages in the attainment of Right Knowledge and Enlightenment. Special commentaries precede each translated text, and a comprehensive introduction contrasts the tenets of Buddhism with European notions of religion, philosophy, and science. Evans-Wentz has also included a body of orally transmitted traditions and teachings that he received firsthand during his fifteen-plus years of study in the Orient, findings that will interest any student of anthropology, psychology, comparative religion, or applied Mahayana Yoga.

If instead of fragmentation, disorientation, and vacuity, you seek wholeness, groundedness, and integrity in your life, it is written for you.

You may already be engaged in some form of social or ecological action addressing these issues-and you may feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task. If you've been tempted to pessimism or have thrown up your hands in despair when your best efforts don't seem to make a dent, this book is for you, Healing Breath offers a way to integrate a spiritual path with active, socio-ecological engagement as the ground.\",\"image\":\"https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTy5TyoKnUljPqpPrhXeG7dKNdCSR3feyO0WQ&s\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-02-22T16:45:40.094Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":5005,\"isbn\":\"9788120812574\",\"authors\":\"Har Dayal\",\"title\":\"The Bodhisattva Doctrine in Buddhist Sanskrit Literature \",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Kegan Paul\",\"pages\":\"392\",\"year\":\"1932\",\"categories\":\"Bodhicitta\",\"description\":\"The Bodhisattva Doctrine in Buddhist Sanskrit Literature is a foundational 1932 academic text by Har Dayal, published by Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London.

The author provides a detailed discussion of one of the most important concepts in East Asian Buddhism, a topic little addressed in Western studies of Buddhism until now, and places the Buddha nature concept in the context of Buddhist intellectual history. King then carefully explains the traditional Buddhist language in the text, and embeds Buddha nature in a family of concepts and values which as a group are foundational to the development of the major indigenous schools of Chinese Buddhism. In addition, she refutes the accusations that the idea of Buddha nature introduces a crypto-Atman into Buddhist thought, and that it represents a form of monism akin to the Brahmanism of the Upanisads. In doing this, King defends Buddha nature in terms of purely Buddhist philosophical principles.

This is the 'Middle Way', with eight qualities or virtues - understanding, thought, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness and concentration - that form the core of the Buddhist philosophy of life. It is these great moral attributes that Professor Tachibana expounds as being the essence of Buddhism and providing a way of life based on tolerance and benevolence.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oxRwPkd9L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-02-16T19:24:45.822Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4967,\"isbn\":\"9780615743868\",\"authors\":\"Trijang Rinpoche, Aku Sherab Gyatso Translated by David Gonsalez\",\"title\":\"Healing Nectar of Immortality: White Tara Healing & Longevity Practices and Commentary\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Dechen Ling Press\",\"pages\":\"232\",\"year\":\"2012\",\"categories\":\"Tantra\",\"description\":\"Healing Nectar of Immortality contains two commentaries on the profound practice of White Tara.

This book is a selection of his most important writings on Tibetan Buddhism, backed by his universalist approach to religious belief. Pallis focuses on the Tibetan tradition but situates it in the wider context of the perennial wisdom and the spiritual life which this entails. He provides the keen observations of a Westerner as he makes sense of spiritual practices, moral systems, modes of dress and other traditions that are often hard to understand unless described by an open and seeking soul. Pallis was just such an observer and the traditional world of Tibet that he encountered comes to life in much greater intelligibility for Western readers.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IzetJUG9L._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-02-16T19:06:51.318Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4964,\"isbn\":\"9780877282235\",\"authors\":\"Alex Wayman\",\"title\":\"The Buddhist Tantras \",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Light on the Indo-Tibetan Esotericism\",\"publisher\":\"Samuel Weiser \",\"pages\":\"247\",\"year\":\"1973\",\"categories\":\"Tantra\",\"description\":\"This book has been divided into four sections.

Two themes predominate, firstly, it argues that we cannot understand the Buddha unless we understand that he was debating with other religious teachers, notably Brahmins. For example, he denied the existence of a \\\"soul\\\"; but what exactly was he denying? Another chapter suggests that the canonical story of the Buddha's encounter with a brigand who wore a garland of his victims' fingers probably reflects an encounter with a form of ecstatic religion. The other main theme concerns metaphor, allegory and literalism. By taking the words of the texts literally\u2014despite the Buddha's warning not to\u2014successive generations of his disciples created distinctions and developed doctrines far beyond his original intention. One chapter shows how this led to a scholastic categorisation of meditation. Failure to understand a basic metaphor also gave rise to the later argument between the Mahayana and the older tradition. Perhaps most important of all, a combination of literalism with ignorance of the Buddha's allusions to Brahmanism led Buddhists to forget that the Buddha had preached that love, like Christian charity, could itself be directly salvific.\\n\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+Bt+ZSBXL._AC_UF350,350_QL50_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-02-11T13:22:20.367Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4950,\"isbn\":\"9781559390583\",\"authors\":\"Glenn H.

This work will appeal to readers with a general interest in Mahayana Buddhism, to those who wish to familiarize themselves with one of the great classics of Indian Buddhist literature, and to students who come across passages quoted in other Buddhist works and who wish to explore further. The great Indian Buddhist master Nagarjuna (first\u2013second century A.D.) wrote his celebrated poem \\\"Letter to a Friend\\\" as a gift of advice to a South Indian king, and it has since become a monument in the Indian shastra tradition.\\n\\nDespite its short length (only 123 verses), it covers the whole Mahayana path, combining a practical approach to daily conduct with a theoretical exposition of the different stages leading to enlightenment. It has thus been an ideal source for many of Tibet 's great scholars seeking a scriptural authority to enhance their own descriptions of the Buddhist path. Any difficulties in understanding the poem are overcome by Kangyur Rinpoche's commentary, which turns Nagarjuna's sometimes cryptic poem into straightforward prose, expanding on each topic and ordering the different subjects in such a way that on returning to the original poem, the reader can easily make sense of the advice it contains.\\n\\nIt includes headings to explain Nagarjuna's frequent changes in subject and full explanations of the ideas introduced in each verse. In addition to the commentary, this book presents the original poem in the Tibetan and in a new English translation that attempts to emulate Nagarjuna's lines of metric verse. Also included are Kangyur Rinpoche's structural outline (sa bchad), a Tibetan line index to enable students to locate quotations used in other Tibetan works, full notes, and a glossary.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511Iz3aTLBL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-02-08T13:20:57.980Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4931,\"isbn\":\"9780140246704\",\"authors\":\"Isabel Hilton\",\"title\":\"The Search for the Panchen Lama\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Penguin\",\"pages\":\"335\",\"year\":\"1999\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"'Central to the Dalai Lama's courageous but tenuous grip on his homeland's future is his relationship with the second spiritual leader of Tibet, the Panchen Lama.

elevate your practice and progress along the Zen path\\n\\nZen Training is a comprehensive handbook for zazen, seated meditation practice, and an authoritative presentation of the Zen path. The book marked a turning point in Zen literature in its critical reevaluation of the enlightenment experience, which the author believes has often been emphasized at the expense of other important aspects of Zen training.

Lotus-Born is the fabulous story of the mystic, master scholar, and outrageous yogi, Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born, who grew up an adopted prince, was banished, burned at the stake in a neighboring kingdom, and continued miraculously unscathed, wandering through cemeteries, dancing on corpses, and proceeded to live more than five hundred years. He is regarded by the most sane Tibetans as a real, historical figure, the founder of Buddhism in Tibet where he subjugated demons and taught the Buddha\u2019s teachings.\\n\\nThe complete story of how Buddhism was planted in Tibet is available in English for the first time with the publication of this book. Lotus-Born is a translation of a biography of the great master recorded in the ninth century by his foremost Tibetan disciple, the princess Yeshe Tsogyal.

Only a great scholar and teacher like Matilal could have produced such a book. It covers a large field with ease and grace.\\\" -- J. N. Mohanty, Emory University\\n\\nThe Character of Logic in India is the last work of the eminent philosopher Bimal Krishna Matilal. It traces the origins of logical theory in India, with chapters on the general characteristics of Indian logic, the analysis of debate, Dinnaga and the triple-conditioned sign, Dharmakirti and the problem of induction, the Jaina contribution to logic, and later developments in Navya-Nyaya.\\n\\n\\\"This book is a kind of scholarly and personal testament to an important and influential author, who was one of the exemplary mediators between Indian and Western thought in the twentieth century. Matilal was equally committed to the rational and methodological traditions of Indian thought and to the analytical standards of modern Western thought, and his combination of expertise in both areas was unique. The Character of Logic in India shows great pedagogical skills and makes concepts and problems which are not very familiar to most Western readers as transparent and clear as possible.\\\" -- Wilhelm

Eventually he left his life in science to study with Tibetan teachers, and he is now a Buddhist monk and translator for the Dalai Lama, living in the Shechen monastery near Kathmandu in Nepal. Trinh Thuan was born into a Buddhist family in Vietnam but became intrigued by the explosion of discoveries in astronomy during the 1960s. He made his way to the prestigious California Institute of Technology to study with some of the biggest names in the field and is now an acclaimed astrophysicist and specialist on how the galaxies formed.\\nWhen Matthieu Ricard and Trinh Thuan met at an academic conference in the summer of 1997, they began discussing the many remarkable connections between the teachings of Buddhism and the findings of recent science. That conversation grew into an astonishing correspondence exploring a series of fascinating questions. Did the universe have a beginning? Or is our universe one in a series of infinite universes with no end and no beginning? Is the concept of a beginning of time fundamentally flawed? Might our perception of time in fact be an illusion, a phenomenon created in our brains that has no ultimate reality? Is the stunning fine-tuning of the universe, which has produced just the right conditions for life to evolve, a sign that a \\\"principle of creation\\\" is at work in our world? If such a principle of creation undergirds the workings of the universe, what does that tell us about whether or not there is a divine Creator? How does the radical interpretation of reality offered by quantum physics conform to and yet differ from the Buddhist conception of reality? What is consciousness and how did it evolve? Can consciousness exist apart from a brain generating it?\\nThe stimulating journey of discovery the authors traveled in their discussions is re-created beautifully in The Quantum and the Lotus, written in the style of a lively dialogue between friends. Both the fundamental teachings of Buddhism and the discoveries of contemporary science are introduced with great clarity, and the reader will be profoundly impressed by the many correspondences between the two streams of thought and revelation. Through the course of their dialogue, the authors reach a remarkable meeting of minds, ultimately offering a vital new understanding of the many ways in which science and Buddhism confirm and complement each other and of the ways in which, as Matthieu Ricard writes, \\\"knowledge of our spirits and knowledge of the world are mutually enlightening and empowering.\\\"\\n\\\"The Quantum and the Lotus is a mind-expanding, eye-opening exploration of the exciting parallels between cutting-edge thinking in physics and Buddhism-a scintillating conversation any thinking person would delight in overhearing.\\\" --Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence\\n\\\"The Quantum and the Lotus is the rich and inspiring result of a deeply interesting dialogue between Western science and Buddhist philosophy. This remarkable book will contribute greatly to a better understanding of the true nature of our world and the way we live our lives.\\\" --His Holiness the Dalai Lama\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6125JPdqCIL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-02-01T20:36:30.930Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[{\"id\":45,\"user_id\":\"T0PZbkbhavJAb9XnrhL5zgZOosmmw0lm\",\"book_id\":4917,\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-06-07T09:45:05.396Z\"},\"returned\":null,\"notifications\":0,\"last_notification\":null,\"renewal_notified\":false}]},{\"id\":4916,\"isbn\":\"9781574160390\",\"authors\":\"Glenn H.

Mullin vividly brings to life the myth and succession of all 14 Dalai Lamas in one volume for the first time. The book contains a chapter on each Dalai Lama (except Dalai Lamas 9-12, who are covered in one chapter). Each chapter opening features an illustration of the Dalai Lama who is the subject of that chapter. Mullin has also included characteristic excerpts from the Dalai Lamas' teachings, poetry, and other writings that illuminate the principles of Tibetan Buddhism expressed in their lives.The 14th Dalai Lama, spiritual and temporal leader of the Tibetans in exile, is well-known, but the 600-year tradition to which he is heir is less familiar. From the birth of the first Dalai Lama in a cowshed in 1391, each subsequent Dalai Lama has been the reincarnation of his predecessor, choosing to take up the burdens of a human life for the benefit of the Tibetan people. For almost six centuries, the Dalai Lamas have served as the Tibetans' spiritual leader and have held secular power for almost half that time. All the Dalai Lamas are revered as incarnations of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddhist deity of compassion, but each has been a unique individual with different abilities and temperaments. Over the ages, various Dalai Lamas have been poets, statesmen, builders, philosophers; most have been disciplined monastics, but one was a lover of women. The potential of some was tragically lost when their lives were cut short, possibly the victims of political intrigue, while others lived long enough to shape entire eras of Tibetan

The first six are mainly dialectical works such as Mulamadhyamakakarika, Sunyatasaptati, Vigrahavyavartani, Vaidalyaprakarana, Vyavaharasiddhi, Yuktisastika followed by the remaining seven which are chiefly didactic texts - Catuhstava, Ratnavali, Prafityasamutpadahrdaya-karika, Sutrasamuccaya, Bodhicitta-vivarana, Suhrllekha, and Bodhisambhara (ka). Thus he roughly follows the prescriptive distinction between Yukti and Agama. Although it will be a fascinating task to trace the impact of Nagarjuna's writings on the subsequent development inside and outside the domain of Buddhist thinking, the present study has to some extent paved the way for such research. Chr. Lindtner's desire to treat all the works ascribed to Nagarjuna in one way or another has thus made it rather wide in its scope which does inevitably entail that numerous details or points of minor significance are tacitly passed by.\",\"image\":\"\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-02-01T16:42:59.057Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4910,\"isbn\":\"9780804801805\",\"authors\":\"Trevor Leggett\",\"title\":\"A First Zen Reader \",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"Complied and translated by Trevor Leggett \",\"publisher\":\"Charles E.

concentration, and wisdom are practiced by Bodhisattvas who have the supreme intention of attaining enlightenment for the sake of others. These six are perfections because they give rise to complete enlightenment. Practice of them also insures the attainment of an excellent body and mind in the future and even more favorable conditions for effective practice than those we enjoy at present. Generosity leads to the enjoyment of ample resources, ethical discipline gives a good rebirth, patience leads to an attractive appearance and supportive companions, enthusiastic effort endows the ability to complete what is undertaken, fostering concentration makes the mind invulnerable to distraction, and wisdom discriminates between what needs to be cultivated and what must be discarded and leads to greater wisdom in the future.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tB4o15jtL._SY445_SX342_QL70_ML2_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-31T20:32:40.015Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4899,\"isbn\":\"9780882681177\",\"authors\":\"Tenzin Wangyal\",\"title\":\"The Wonders of the Mind\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"The Essence of Dzogchen in the Native Bon Tradition of Tibet\",\"publisher\":\"Station Hill Press\",\"pages\":\"218\",\"year\":\"1993\",\"categories\":\"Bonpo\",\"description\":\"Although the Dzogchen teachings are principally familiar to Westerners through the teachings of the Nyingma school, they also survive in the ancient B\u00F6n Religion of Tibet.

The book summarizes the main points of Dzogchen and its relation to the various systems of B\u00F6n teaching.

At its center, Gesar, King of Ling battles tirelessly in a world riven by greed, confusion, fear, and religious ambition to open pathways to an enlightened society. The Warrior Song of King Gesar follows the unbroken heritage of that warrior tradition and presents the saga of Gesar\u2019s life, from the hardships of his youth through his great battles against the demonic enemies of the four directions.\\n\\nThis ever evolving epic tradition continues to inspire people in diverse societies by showing that, despite failures, an unsparing spiritual journey is integral to a secular life and that, despite defeats, such a quest is inseparable from working towards true social harmony.\\n\\nThe Venerable Tulku Thondup\u2019s introduction is uniquely valuable for its profound scholarship and contains the only account in English of King Gesar\u2019s mind teachings.\\n\\n*\\n\\n\u201CI hope that the wisdom, imagination, and humor with which Douglas Penick has conveyed both Gesar\u2019s story and the energy of his being will rouse unconditional confidence throughout the world.\u201D\\nSakyong Mipham Rinpoche, head of Shambhala International, author of Making the Mind into an Ally, and Ruling Your World.\\n\\n\u201CThe Warrior Song of King Gesar maintains traditional Asian epic genres and conventions while simultaneously transforming them into a completely contemporary vehicle of expression.

The Samyutta Nikaya consists of fifty-six chapters, each governed by a unifying theme that binds together the Buddha's suttas or discourses. The chapters are organized into five major parts.\\nThe first, The Book with Verses, is a compilation of suttas composed largely in verse. This book ranks as one of the most inspiring compilations in the Buddhist canon, showing the Buddha in his full grandeur as the peerless teacher of gods and humans. The other four books deal in depth with the philosophical principles and meditative structures of early Buddhism. They combine into orderly chapters all the important short discourses of the Buddha on such major topics as dependent origination, the five aggregates, the six sense bases, the seven factors of enlightenment, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the Four Noble Truths.\\nAmong the four large Nikayas belonging to the Pali Canon, the Samyutta Nikaya serves as the repository for the many shorter suttas of the Buddha where he discloses his radical insights into the nature of reality and his unique path to spiritual emancipation. This collection, it seems, was directed mainly at those disciples who were capable of grasping the deepest dimensions of wisdom and of clarifying them for others, and also provided guidance to meditators intent on consummating their efforts with the direct realization of the ultimate truth.\\nThe present work begins with an insightful general introduction to the Samyutta Nikaya as a whole. Each of the five parts is also provided with its own introduction, intended to guide the reader through this vast, ocean-like collection of suttas.\\nTo further assist the reader, the translator has provided an extensive body of notes clarifying various problems concerning both the language and the meaning of the texts.\\nDistinguished by its lucidity and technical precision, this new translation makes this ancient collection of the Buddha's discourses accessible and comprehensible to the thoughtful reader of today. Like its two predecessors in this series,\\nThe Connected Discourses of the Buddha is sure to merit a place of honour in the library of every serious student of Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EHb0sas7L._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-28T11:12:32.071Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4860,\"isbn\":\"9780861710331\",\"authors\":\"Martin Willson\",\"title\":\"In Praise of Tara\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publication\",\"pages\":\"487\",\"year\":\"1986\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"Amongst all Buddhist deities, the most dearly loved is the blissful, beautiful, and often mischievous goddess Tara.

Based on practical Buddhist verses on \\\"thought training\\\" (lojong), Advice from a Spiritual Friend teaches how to develop the inner skills that lead to contentment by responding to everyday difficulties with patience and joy.\\n\\nFollowing Stephen Batchelor's introduction to the Kadamapa tradition that gave rise to these earthy, pithy instructions, Part One is a commentary by Geshe Dhargyey to Atisha's (982-1054) Jewel Rosary of a Bodhisattva. Part Two includes a commentary by Geshe Rabten to the famous Seven-Point Thought Transformation.\\n\\nFirst published in 1977, Advice from a Spiritual Friend is a Wisdom classic that has enriched readers in many editions over the years.

Wartburg College\\n\\n\u201COne of the most eminent Japanese scholars working on interreligious dialogue.\u201D \u2014Dr. Julius-Kei Kato, Western University\\n\\nHow can we honor our traditions while existing as our most authentic selves?\\n\\nWhether you are a scholar, practitioner, or someone curious about the intersection of Buddhism and Christianity, A Bridge to Buddhist-Christian Dialogue offers a profound reflection on interpersonal relationships in a pluralistic world and builds a bridge to a more connected way of being. Let us continue to walk together.\\n\\nIn A Bridge to Buddhist-Christian Dialogue, theologians and interfaith pioneers Seiichi Yagi and Leonard Swidler explore the relational nature of identity through the lens of Christian and Buddhist philosophy, seeking to uncover the ways in which we draw upon each other and how we can use dialogue to honor both ourselves and our traditions.\\n\\nA prominent voice in Buddhist-Christian thought, Dr. Seiichi Yagi\u2019s teaching unearths the common ground between Buddhism and Christianity, including the concept of emptiness and the Christian call to love. He provides an original framework using Front-Structure and poles to help us understand the relational ontology and epistemology which he sees in both traditions. Dr. Leonard Swidler, professor emeritus of Temple University and interfaith dialogue advocate for over 50 years, relays the importance of dialogue, what it is, and how we can use Yagi\u2019s insights to traverse our daily lives. Together, their ideas form a bridge to help us navigate dialogue among Buddhists and Christians, and with the world at large.\\n\\nReaders Will Discover:\\n\\nInterreligious Dialogue: what it is and why it\u2019s important.\\nHow the Buddhist and Christian paths are the same, how they\u2019re different, and why it matters.\\nThe Buddhist path and the Christian way as examples of the relational nature of life and identity.\\nHow we can rely on our relational identities to transcend ego and become our most authentic selves.\\nThis new edition of A Bridge to Buddhist-Christian Dialogue has been updated with a new foreword by Dr. Seiichi Yagi. First published in 1988, this book has offered a vital contribution to Buddhist-Christian scholarship and comparative insights for nearly 40 years.\",\"image\":\"https://imgs.search.brave.com/LakJodFlQ1fGziQACmP1y11LwIq-LOK05EVIOxTn1H0/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9tLm1l/ZGlhLWFtYXpvbi5j/b20vaW1hZ2VzL0kv/NTE4NTBLMjZLNUwu/anBn\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-27T15:07:42.957Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4847,\"isbn\":\"9781614298250\",\"authors\":\"Panchen Losang Yeshe, Translated by Szegee Toh\",\"title\":\"The Swift Path\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"A Medtitation Manual on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publication\",\"pages\":\"344\",\"year\":\"2023\",\"categories\":\"Lamrim\",\"description\":\"This collection of guided meditations from eighteenth-century Tibet harnesses elements of tantric visualization to induce realizations while contemplating the steps on the path to buddhahood.\\nThe Swift Path by the Second Panchen Lama has long been heralded in the Geluk school of Tibetan Buddhism as one of the \\\"eight great lamrims,\\\" or works presenting the stages of the path to enlightenment, but it is the last to become widely available in English translation. Composed by a preceptor of two Dalai Lamas, this practical and systematic guide to meditating on the lamrim is based on the Easy Path, a more concise work by the First Panchen Lama. In The Swift Path, Panchen Losang Yesh\u00E9 expands on the earlier Panchen Lama's meditation guide with more detailed instructions on how to generate a clear and profound experience of the key recognitions that allow us to advance on our spiritual journey. These include the recognition of the opportunity afforded by our human existence, both its preciousness and its precariousness, and the way to adopt and live out the practices of a bodhisattva. The guided meditations here make use of a visualization of one's teacher in the guise of Sakyamuni Buddha to unlock our own innate potential for buddhahood, complete enlightenment, to best benefit humanity and all living beings.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qqYB-+xgL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-27T14:57:18.970Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4846,\"isbn\":\"9780937938195\",\"authors\":\"Donald S.

The M\u0101dhyamika is considered to have two subschools, Sv\u0101tantrika and Pr\u0101sa\u1E45gika. The Pr\u0101sa\u1E45gika school of Candrak\u012Brti is better known than Sv\u0101tantrika, in part because the major Sv\u0101tantrika texts are preserved only in Tibetan translation. The Sv\u0101tantrikas, however, made important contributions to Buddhist philosophy in their expositions of the nature of reality, the role of reasoning in the process of enlightenment, and in their delineations of the paths to nirvana. The synthesis of Yog\u0101c\u0101ra and M\u0101dhyamika philosophy by the Sv\u0101tantrika master \u015A\u0101ntarak\u1E63ita represents the final development of Buddhist thought in India. In Tibet, Sv\u0101tantrika was the first Indian Buddhist school to gain currency, prior to the translation of the works of Candrak\u012Brti into Tibetan.\",\"image\":\"https://imgs.search.brave.com/DNB6j4StxPBHQ0Of_JWIvGWv3KjvccsMJ-INPS0UApY/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWFn/ZXMtbmEuc3NsLWlt/YWdlcy1hbWF6b24u/Y29tL2ltYWdlcy9T/L2NvbXByZXNzZWQu/cGhvdG8uZ29vZHJl/YWRzLmNvbS9ib29r/cy8xMzQ4ODA2MjEw/aS82MDg1OTkyLmpw/Zw\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-27T14:53:37.655Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4845,\"isbn\":\"9788617586407\",\"authors\":\"Mariateresa

Thrangu Rinpoche. In general, at a precise moment in time, when disciples' merit and the lama's compassion connect with each other, the great and genuine beings will give up one emanation body and appear in another. Once again, disciples will be- able to meet face to face with the supreme emanations, and to enjoy their portion of the nectar of their lama's speech. Neither blind faith nor unsubstantiated supposition played any part in the discovery of the Fourth Jamgon Tulku. Wondrous and auspicious signs were visible for all to see, inspiring faith. The one who bestowed the recognition, His Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa, whose omniscience beholds even hidden objects of knowledge, made a perfectly clear prophecy that made it possible for all to see the path to be followed. Therefore, it is important for us to have irreversible faith, and trust both in the one who bestowed the recognition and the one who is recognised as the supreme of emanations, for us to have complete certainty about what has transpired. Once their lama has passed away into nirvana, the task of obtaining an unconfused, unmistaken recognition of their lama's reincarnation, is the previous lord's students' greatest responsibility. In carrying out this responsibility, the general secretary, Tenzin Dorjee, and other members of the Jamgon Labrang endured great difficulty without any hesitation, and thereby found the reincarnation of the Third Jamgon Rinpoche in a way that was indisputably free of error. Such events as these, are in general an extraordinary quality of the genuine Dharma, and in particular, they are an ornament for the eye of those with faith that causes the sacred outlook to grow. This book clearly describes the process by which the Fourth Jamgon Tulku was recognised. I am deeply grateful for its publication, on this, the occasion of His Eminence's third birthday.Thrangu Tulku-\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41U-YctqPoL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-27T14:10:47.729Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4840,\"isbn\":\"9789937572101\",\"authors\":\"Milarepa, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"Four Song of Milarepa: Teachings of Khenpo Tsutrim Gyamtso Rinpoche\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Longchen Foundation Trust\",\"pages\":\"41\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"Khenpo Ts\u00FCltrim Gyamtso Rinpoche has extensively taught on the Four Songs of Milarepa, emphasizing their profound instructions on Mahamudra and the path of realization.

He was perhaps the greatest commentator of Buddhism in history, and wrote more than 10,000 pages in explanation of the ancient books of Buddhist wisdom. His most famous masterpiece is the Great Book on the steps of the path, the Lamrim Chenmo, a clear and detailed roadmap to Enlightenment. He wrote the work after coming in and out of prophetic vision over the length of an entire month, at the great monastery of Radreng, in south Tibet. The vision was triggered by the Mountain of Blessings, a prayer and guide to perfection used by Lamas ever since, as a preparation for the secret teachings of Buddhism. This important work appears here in full with a commentary by the illustrious Pabongka Rinpoche, generally regarded as the foremost Tibetan Buddhist teacher of the last century. Both texts have been translated by Khen Rinpoche, Geshe Lobsang Tharchinone-one of the last great masters of old Tibet, and a former about of Sera Mey Tibetan Monastery, one of the largest Buddhist monasteries in the world.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1696884691i/830933.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-21T14:51:12.321Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4835,\"isbn\":\"9780042940984\",\"authors\":\"Lama Tsongkhapa, H.H the XIV Dalai Lama\",\"title\":\"Tantra in Tibet the Great Exposition of Secret Mantra - Volume 1\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"The Library of Tibetan Works and Archive\",\"pages\":\"252\",\"year\":\"1997\",\"categories\":\"Lama Tsongkhapa\",\"description\":\"This is the first book in a series presenting The Great Exposition of Secret Mantra.

Books\",\"pages\":\"321\",\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Women in Buddhism\",\"description\":\"As Buddhism is assimilated into the West, it is imperative that women reshape its patriarchal structures and carve out a fully legitimate, empowering position for themselves. Marianne Dresser brings together the likes of Pema Chodron, Tsultrim Allione, and bell hooks, 30 women in all, who are doing just that. Writers, nuns, scholars, priests--even a martial arts master and a private investigator--discuss women in Buddhism in a range of essays. Several pieces question the suppression of emotion required for selflessness, appealing to the undeniable reality of day-to-day living. Others discuss their experiences as women in Buddhism, whether as nuns or as lay practitioners. Still others address the history of women in Buddhism, racial questions, meditation, poetry, compassion, social activism, and sexual orientation. Most of these writers have been in Buddhism for two or three decades and offer a wealth of experience and insights, targeted at women readers but no less valuable to men.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715bsn6CIsL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-20T14:17:12.983Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4821,\"isbn\":\"9781846041068\",\"authors\":\"Thich Nhat Hanh\",\"title\":\"The Miracle of Mindfulness\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"The Classic Guide\",\"publisher\":\"Rider\",\"pages\":\"140\",\"year\":\"2008\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"In this beautifully written book, Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh explains how to acquire the skills of mindfulness.

Irrespective of our particular religious beliefs, we can begin to reap the immense benefits that meditation has been scientifically proven to offer.

Both are direct, non-gradual approaches to Buddhist teaching that continue to be practiced in the West. \\\"The principle of the Dzog-chen teaching is the self-perfectedness, the already-being-perfect of every individual. Self-perfectedness means that the so-called objective is nothing else than the manifestation of the energy of the primordial state of the individual himself. An individual who practices Dzog-chen must possess clear knowledge of the principle of energy and what it means.\\\" Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche is a Tibetan lama, who from 1964 to 1994, taught at the University of Naples, Italy.

Gyel-tsap\",\"publisher\":\"Snow lion Publications\",\"pages\":\"398\",\"year\":\"2008\",\"categories\":\"Madhyamika\",\"description\":\"Gyel-tsap Dar-ma-rin-chen states that Aryadeva's Four Hundred Stanzas was written to explain how, according to Nagarjuna, the practice of the stages of yogic deeds enables those with Mahayana motivation to attain Buddhahood. Both Nagarjuna and Aryadeva urge those who want to understand reality to induce direct experience of ultimate truth through philosophic inquiry and reasoning. Aryadeva's text is more than a commentary on Nagarjuna's Treatise on the Middle Way because it also explains the extensive paths associated with conventional truths. The Four Hundred Stanzas is one of the fundamental works of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, and Gyel-tsap's commentary is arguably the most complete and important of the Tibetan commentaries on it.\\nMahayana practitioners must eliminate not only obstructions to liberation but also obstructions to the perfect knowledge of all phenomena. This requires a powerful understanding of selflessness, coupled with a vast accumulation of merit, or positive energy, resulting from the kind of love, compassion, and altruistic intention cultivated by bodhisattvas. The first half of the text focuses on the development of merit by showing how to correct distorted ideas about conventional reality and how to overcome disturbing emotions. The second half explains the nature of ultimate reality that all phenomena are empty of intrinsic existence.

The second work is a commentary on the most widely renowned of the Prajna Paramita Sutras, the Heart Sutra.

Teaching on Kamalashila's treatises outlining the stages of meditation, Thrangu Rinpoche explains the need for compassion and the way to develop it, the necessity for a bodhisattva's vast and durable altruism, as well as the means to generate, stabilize, and fortify it and the elements key to the meditative practices of calm abiding and insight. An engaging element of Essential Practice is the lively interaction of Thrangu Rinpoche with students and members of the faculty of Naropa University as he unfolds the text for them.\\nWith exceptional generosity, Thrangu Rinpoche took delight in fielding basic and knotty questions that were put to him by relative newcomers and relatively seasoned practitioner/scholars. This record of a masterful teacher's instructions will help students old and new to determine what is essential to the practice of Buddhism and thereby bring the Buddha's teachings into their own experience. Essential Practice presents an incomparable wisdom on the methodology and means of meditation, as well as the ways in which to bring oneself to the transcendence of selfless behavior.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gownzEvSL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-18T14:58:19.192Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4810,\"isbn\":\"9781559392150\",\"authors\":\"Maitreya, with commentary by Mipham, translated by Jim Scott\",\"title\":\"Maitreya's Distinguishing Phenomena and Pure Being\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion Publications\",\"pages\":\"216\",\"year\":\"2004\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"Distinguishing Phenomena and Pure Being was composed by Maitreya during the golden age of Indian Buddhism.

In building a conceptual bridge between Eastern mysticism and Western philosophy, he discusses the work of Assagioli, Teilhard de Chardin and von Durkheim, among others.

The study provides a detailed account of the evolution of the Theravadin theory of meditation, exploring just how the texts understand the process whereby the 'ordinary' unawakened mind transforms itself into the 'transcendent' awakened mind.The book, in addition to shedding new light on the ancient Buddhist theory of meditation and the development of the Abhidhamma, is a valuable source of reference on a topic that must be counted as fundamental to Buddhist thought.\",\"image\":\"https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th/id/OIP.GluxhpNlUAsN14U6Uq7mTwHaHa?pid=Api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-14T14:36:35.645Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4785,\"isbn\":\"9781891868061\",\"authors\":\"Lama Zopa Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"A chat about Yamantaka\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive\",\"pages\":\"124\",\"year\":\"2000\",\"categories\":\"Tantra\",\"description\":\"A word document version of Lama Zopa's discussion and answers to questions concerning Yamantaka.\",\"image\":\"https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th/id/OIP.1ix6L0GlePp86lO1fu8PJgHaLU?pid=Api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-01-14T14:32:47.540Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4784,\"isbn\":\"9781891868184\",\"authors\":\"Lama Thubten Yeshe\",\"title\":\"Ego, attachment and liberation\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Amitabha Buddhist centre\",\"pages\":\"125\",\"year\":\"2006\",\"categories\":\"Lama Yeshe\",\"description\":\"In 1975, Lama Yeshe undertook his most extensive international teaching tour, being on the road for nearly nine months.

Writing from differing assumptions, academic disciplines, and religious world views, the nine Christian and two Buddhist contributors are nevertheless agreed that interreligious dialogue can contribute meaningfully to our understanding of some of the profound issues arising out of modern self-consciousness. Believing that the human community and its survival are threatened everywhere by secularism, they seek to show that the dialogue between Buddhists and Christians can provide not only insights but a conceptual framework for authentic living in the present age of religious pluralism.

In order to understand which brain mechanisms produce Zen states, one needs some understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the brain. Austin, both a neurologist and a Zen practitioner, interweaves the most recent brain research with the personal narrative of his Zen experiences. The science is both inclusive and rigorous; the Zen sections are clear and evocative.

In his lengthy introduction to the translation, Huntington offers a judiciously crafted, highly original discussion of the central philosophy of Mah\u0101y\u0101na Buddhism.

All of this on the Buddhist premise that habitual, unreflective identification with ideas, opinions, or beliefs compromises our appreciation of the ungraspable miracle that lies at the heart of everyday, conventional reality.

Alan Wallace reveals the theoretical similarities underlying these disparate disciplines and their unified approach to making sense of the objective world. Wallace begins by exploring the relationship between Christian and Buddhist meditative practices. He outlines a sequence of meditations the reader can undertake, showing that, though Buddhism and Christianity differ in their belief systems, their methods of cognitive inquiry provide similar insight into the nature and origins of consciousness. From this convergence Wallace then connects the approaches of contemporary cognitive science, quantum mechanics, and the philosophy of the mind. He links Buddhist and Christian views to the provocative philosophical theories of Hilary Putnam, Charles Taylor, and Bas van Fraassen, and he seamlessly incorporates the work of such physicists as Anton Zeilinger, John Wheeler, and Stephen Hawking. Combining a concrete analysis of conceptions of consciousness with a guide to cultivating mindfulness and profound contemplative practice, Wallace takes the scientific and intellectual mapping of the mind in exciting new directions.\\n\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61D4En-W5ZL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-11-24T19:07:24.194Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4739,\"isbn\":\"9781570625503\",\"authors\":\"Thubten Jinpa & Jas Elsner\",\"title\":\"Songs of Spiritual Experience: Tibetan Buddhist Poems of Insight & Awakening\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Shambala\",\"pages\":\"239\",\"year\":\"2000\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"A remarkable collection of Tibetan religious verse--of interest to students of any spiritual tradition.\\nThe first major anthology of Tibetan spiritual poetry available in the West, Songs of Spiritual Experience offers original translations of fifty-two poems from all the traditions and schools of Tibetan Buddhism, spanning the eleventh to the twentieth centuries.

The study's central focus, however, is the question of the existence and the nature of self. This is explored both in terms of Tsongkhapa's deconstruction of the self and his reconstruction of person.

Instead of delivering sermons, he expressed himself through kanshi (poems composed in classical Chinese) and waka and could typically be found playing with the village children in the course of his daily rounds of begging. Great Fool is the first study in a Western language to offer a comprehensive picture of the legendary poet-monk and his oeuvre.

Science shows us ways of interpreting the physical world, while spirituality helps us cope with reality. But the extreme of either is impoverishing. The belief that all is reducible to matter and energy leaves out a huge range of human experience: emotions, yearnings, compassion, culture.

On a deeper level, Kuan Yin symbolizes the liberating energy of compassion, which is an indispensable aid in the quest for enlightenment.\\n\\nJohn Blofeld evokes the charming presence of Kuan Yin through colorful anecdotes, personal experiences, and descriptions of Buddhist rituals and legends encountered during his travels throughout China. At the same time, he offers a learned account of the goddess's history and importance in Chinese thought and religion. He explores the origin of the Bodhisattva of Compassion in India and Tibet, in the form of Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan: Chenresig), a male deity who evolved into the gentle mother/maiden figure of Chinese Buddhism. Meditation and visualization techniques associated with Kuan Yin are given, and her principal iconographic forms are described.

Drawing on a lifetime of scientific study and religious practice, he explores the great debates and makes astonishing connections between seemingly disparate topics - such as evolution and karma - that will change the way we look at the world. While he sees science and faith as 'complementary but different investigative approaches with the same goal of seeking the truth,' the fact is that the two have often been at the root of human conflict for centuries. The Dalai Lama challenges us to see that the benefits of opening our hearts and minds to the connections between science and faith are far preferable to perpetuating the divisive rhetoric that often surrounds them.

There are shifting appearances and conventions, the manners and traditions of the vast and diverse world; and then there is the mystery of the sheer reality of things. And yet we cannot find this reality anywhere else but right here.\\nEach system of Buddhist philosophy has its own way of explaining exactly what these two truths are and how they relate to one another.

Robert Thurman is one such teacher. Now, in his first experiential course on the essentials of Tibetan Buddhism, adapted and expanded from a popular retreat he led, Thurman -- the first Westerner ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself -- shares the centuries-old wisdom of a highly valued method used by the great Tibetan masters. Using a revered, once-secret text of a seventeenth-century Tibetan master, along with a thorough explanation for contemporary Westerners, The Jewel Tree of Tibet immerses you fully in the mysteries of Tibetan spiritual wisdom. A retreat in book form as well as a spiritual and philosophical teaching, it offers a practical system of understanding yourself and the world, of developing your learning and thought processes, and of gaining deep, transforming insight.\\nTibetans think of their cherished tradition of Buddhism as a \\\"wish-fulfilling jewel tree\\\" for its power to generate bliss and enlightenment within all who absorb its teachings. Happiness, in fact, is the true goal of Tibetan spirituality, and the wish-fulfilling jewel tree will put you on the road to that reachable goal. This beautiful jewel-tree imagery, which acts like a mandala or a yoga pose to focus your attention on truths larger than yourself, will help you break through worn-out ideas and habits, strengthen positive abilities, develop more energy and creativity, and change your life -- and future -- for the better. As Thurman writes, \\\"Readers learn to cultivate the sensitivity and appreciation to love more fully, feel compassion more intensely, and become a fountain of cheerfulness for all they meet and know.\\\"\\nBecause the path to enlightenment requires more than sitting in meditation, The Jewel Tree of Tibet offers a rich, intellectually riveting course with many specific spiritual practices, including: eleven steps to create the spirit of enlightenment, here and now; the truths and stories of the ancient Indian and Tibetan sages; and guided meditations to experience the blessings of the wish-fulfilling jewel tree. You can do these practices with others or on your own, while living your daily life. And as you travel this road to deeper self-realization, self-understanding, and infectious happiness, you will also learn how the principles of Tibetan Tantra can open the doors to \\\"infinite compassion and continuity,\\\" and how to discover states of consciousness that transcend even death.\\nOne of the most explicit teachings of the steps to the path of enlightenment available, explained by a skilled Western teacher, The Jewel Tree of Tibet will enable you to honor the full subtlety and hidden depths of the Tibetan Buddhist path and realize at last its deeper mysteries and rewards -- for yourself and others.\",\"image\":\"https://d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net/book_images/onix/cvr9780743271844/the-jewel-tree-of-tibet-9780743271844_hr.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-11-19T11:58:33.499Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4685,\"isbn\":\"9781559390446\",\"authors\":\"Jose Ignacio Cabezon\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Literature\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Studies in Genre\",\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"549\",\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"Tibetan Literature addresses the immense variety of Tibet's literary heritage.

Building on Jung's work, which was heavily influenced by the transformative model of alchemy, a new multidimensional approach to the process of human transformation through dreams has been developed which recognises the interrelationship of the psychological and the spiritual, and works with the mirroring body in service of both. In the approach presented here, dreams are seen as a mixture of worldly impressions and expressions of our individual spirit, which is trying to speak to us through the metaphors and narrative of our dreams. In this way, the spiritual comes through the psychological dimension. Though it may seem to be a contradiction, our dreams hold the key to our 'awakening' and, by actively engaging with them we can unlock their potential for initiating and facilitating our own unfoldment. This book is about recognising this process when it occurs in dreams, and how to work with them in the service of our growth and self-realisation.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51pWNXeAA0L._SY445_SX342_ML2_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-11-12T15:44:31.114Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4672,\"isbn\":\"9780861711536\",\"authors\":\"Tsongkhapa, Translated by Gareth Sparham\",\"title\":\"The Fulfillment of All Hopes: Guru Devotion in Tibetan Buddhism\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":\"160\",\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Lama Tsongkhapa\",\"description\":\"Why is it important to have a spiritual teacher?

In keeping with the liberative thrust of early Buddhism, this system organizes the entire spectrum of human consciousness around the two poles of Buddhist doctrine - bondage and liberation, Samsara and Nirvana - the starting point and the final goal.

Basing his interpretation on the detailed list of mental factors that the Abhidhamma uses as a guide to psychological analysis, he launches into bold explorations in the multiple dimensions of conditionality, the nature of consciousness, the temporality of experience, and the psychological springs of spiritual transformation. Innovative and rich in insights, this book does not merely open up new avenues in the academic study of early Buddhism.

Tulku Thondup gives detailed guidance for meditation, prayers, and visualization in four simple stages that can be practiced in as little as thirty minutes a session. The four-stage format is a brand-new approach being presented for the first time in English, distilled from the author's lifelong study and practice of authentic, traditional teachings.\\n\\nWhat if we could experience not only our own body, mind, and heart as a boundless source of loving-kindness, but every particle of the world around us as a beautiful realm filled with the blessing energies of the Buddhas and their celestial abodes? The whole environment would become a miraculous display of unconditional love, wisdom, and power, accompanied by the sweet music of holy prayers and inspirational teachings.

When we train ourselves to desire the happiness and well-being of others, with the unconditional love of a mother who cares wholeheartedly for her little ones, we find our whole world pervaded by the positive qualities of joy, peace, and beauty. The training can be compared to sunbathing. As our body absorbs the sun's heat, it becomes warm and gradually emanates that warmth into our surroundings.

Many developments in Buddhist history, such as the infusion of esoteric rituals, the rise of devotionalism and lay movements, and the assimilation of warrior practices, reflect the impact of widespread social changes on traditional religious structures. At the same time, Buddhism has been able to maintain its doctrinal purity to a remarkable degree. This volume explores how traditional Buddhist communities have responded to the challenges of modernity, such as science and technology, colonialism, and globalization. Editors Steven Heine and Charles S. Prebish have commissioned ten essays by leading scholars, each examining a particular traditional Buddhist school in its cultural context. The essays consider how the encounter with modernity has impacted the disciplinary, textual, ritual, devotional, practical, and socio-political traditions of Buddhist thought throughout Asia. Taken together, these essays reveal the diversity and vitality of contemporary Buddhism and offer a wide-ranging look at the way Buddhism interacts with the modern world.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713Pic0camL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-11-10T14:57:24.655Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4630,\"isbn\":\"9788120806313\",\"authors\":\"Brian Edward Brown\",\"title\":\"The Buddha Nature \",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"A study of the Tathagatagarbha and Alayavijnana \",\"publisher\":\"Motilal Banarsidass Publishers \",\"pages\":\"316\",\"year\":\"2010\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"One of the fundamental tenets of Mahayana Buddhism animating and grounding the doctrine and discipline of its spiritual path, is the inherent potentiality of all animate beings to attain the supreme and perfect enlightenment of Buddhahood. This book examines the ontological presuppositions and the corresponding soteriological-epistemological principles that sustain and define such a theory. Within the field of Buddhist studies, such a work provides a comprehensive context in which to interpret the influence and major insights of the various Buddhist schools. Thus, the dynamics of the Buddha Nature, though non-thematic and implicit, is at the heart of Zen praxis, while it is a significant articulation in Kegon, Tendai, and Shingon thought. More specifically, the book seeks to establish a coherent metaphysics of absolute suchness (Tathata), synthesizing the variant traditions of the Tathagata-embryo (Tathagatagarbha) and the Storehouse Consciousness (Alayavijnana).\\n\\nThe books` contribution to the broader field of the History of Religions rests in its presentation and analysis of the Buddhist Enlightenment as the salvific-transformational moment in which Tathata `awakens` to itself, comes to perfect self-realization as the Absolute suchness of reality, in and through phenomenal human consciousness. The book is an interpretation of the Buddhist Path as the spontaneous self-emergence of `embryonic` absolute knowledge as it comes to free itself from the concealments of adventitious defilements, and possess itself in fully self-explicitated self-consciousness as the `Highest Truth` and unconditional nature of all existence; it does so only in the form of omniscient wisdom.\",\"image\":\"https://archive.org/services/img/tathagatgarbhabuddhanatureastudyofthetathagatagarbhaandalayavijnanabrianedwardbr/full/pct:200/0/default.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-11-10T14:54:47.708Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4629,\"isbn\":\"9781559391399\",\"authors\":\"Alexander Berzin\",\"title\":\"Relating to A Spiritual Teacher\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"Building a Healthy Relationship\",\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"266\",\"year\":\"2000\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"This book explores the sources of misunderstanding and re-examines traditional Buddhist teachings on the relationship we develop with a Spiritual Guide.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ZA3RTFQHL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-11-10T14:48:40.692Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4628,\"isbn\":\"9780791420447\",\"authors\":\"Kensur Yeshey Tupden\",\"title\":\"Path to the Middle\",\"copies\":3,\"subtitle\":\"Oral Madhyamika Philosophy in Tibet\",\"publisher\":\"State University of New York Press\",\"pages\":\"301\",\"year\":\"1994\",\"categories\":\"Madhyamika\",\"description\":\"Does a Bodhisattva's initial direct cognition of emptiness differ from subsequent ones?

Don\u2019t allow yourself to become stressed out, thinking, \\\"Oh, I have to do all this!\\\" With a vast, brave mind, think, \u201CI\u2019m going to do all this. Even if it takes many, many years, I\u2019m going to do it.\u201D When you do follow the advice \u201Cdon\u2019t squeeze yourself,\u201D your mind naturally relaxes.

Speaking to newcomers and advanced students alike, he explains the similarities and differences of the Sutra and Tantra paths. Having gathered many of the doubts and difficult points concerning the tantric path, he clarifies the purpose of receiving proper empowerment by qualified gurus and the ethical restraints and commitments required to enter the path of secret mantra. The paths and stages of the four tantric classes are explained, as are the generationstage and completionstage practices of Highest Yoga Tantra. You are introduced to the practices of clear appearance and divine identity common to all tantric sadhanas, as well as the distinctive practices of illusory body and actual clear light that overcome the subtlest defilements on the mind and eliminate all obscurations quickly. The understanding of emptiness in Sutra and Tantra is the same, but the consciousness perceiving emptiness differs. In Highest Yoga Tantra that consciousness is great bliss, which arises from knowing the methods to manipulate the channels, winds, and drops of the subtle body.

As we explore these and other fascinating questions, he skillfully guides us along the path, avoiding the chasms of absolutism and nihilism, and introduces us to dependent arising. We find that although all persons and phenomena lack an inherent essence, they do exist dependently. This nominally imputed mere I carries the karmic seeds. We discover that all phenomena exist by being merely designated by term and concept--they appear as like illusions, unfindable under ultimate analysis but functioning on the conventional level. Furthermore, we come to understand that emptiness dawns as the meaning of dependent arising, and dependent arising dawns as the meaning of emptiness. The ability to posit subtle dependent arisings in the face of realizing emptiness and to establish ultimate and conventional truths as non-contradictory brings us to the culmination of the correct view.\\nThe second of three volumes on the nature of reality in the Library of Wisdom and Compassion series, Realizing the Profound View challenges the ways we view the self and the world, bringing us that much closer to liberation.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511vPcUiftL._SY445_SX342_ML2_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-11-09T18:24:47.932Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4584,\"isbn\":\"9781717474827\",\"authors\":\"Shakyamuni Buddha \",\"title\":\"Exalted Sublime Golden Light \",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"A Mahayana Sutra\",\"publisher\":\"FPMT\",\"pages\":\"147\",\"year\":\"2007\",\"categories\":\"Sutra\",\"description\":\"The Sutra of Golden Light is a Mahayana sutra with great power and benefit.

Intended to serve as an introduction to the Buddha's thought, and hence even to Buddhism itself, the book also has larger aims: it argues that we can know far more about the Buddha than it is fashionable among scholars to admit, and that his thought has a greater coherence than is usually recognised. It contains much new material. Interpreters both ancient and modern have taken little account of the historical context of the Buddha's teachings; but by relating them to early brahminical texts, and also to ancient Jainism, Gombrich gives a much richer picture of the Buddha's meaning, especially when his satire and irony are appreciated. Incidentally, since many of the Buddha's allusions can only be traced in the Pali versions of surviving texts, the book establishes the importance of the Pali Canon as evidence. The book contains much new material. The author stresses the Buddha's capacity for abstraction: though he made extensive use of metaphor, he did not found his arguments upon it, as earlier thinkers had done. He ethicized and radically reinterpreted older ideas of karma (human action) and rebirth. Similarly, building on older texts, he argued for the fundamental importance of love and compassion, and analysed fire as a process which could stand as a model for every component of conscious experience. Morally, the Buddha's theory of karma provided a principle of individuation and asserted each individual's responsibility for his own destiny. To make the book completely accessible to the general reader, the author provides an introductory section of 'Background Information,' for easy reference.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UiaJ1ay8L._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-11-02T18:10:29.671Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4530,\"isbn\":\"9780938077510\",\"authors\":\"Thich Nhat Hanh\",\"title\":\"The Diamond that Cuts Through Illusion\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"Commentaries on the Prajnaparamita Diamond Sutra\",\"publisher\":\"Parallax Press\",\"pages\":\"115\",\"year\":\"1992\",\"categories\":\"Other Buddhist Traditions \",\"description\":\"The Diamond That Cuts Through Illusions presents a dialogue between the Buddha and his disciple Subhuti which illuminates how our minds construct limited categories of thought.

Buddhist perspectives on ethics and emptiness center on the distinction between two truths—the conventional and the ultimate. Newland's work lays out the Madhyamika philosophy of two truths as seen through the eyes of Tibetan scholar-yogis of the Gelugpa order. Linking the classical Buddhist philosophy of Nagarjuna with the living tradition of monastic courtyard debate, the authors explain the two truths without resort to mysterious trans-rational paradoxes. Newland exposes their extraordinary efforts to clear away the sense of contradiction between emptiness and conventional reality and thus to build a Madhyamika system that is both ethically salutary and rationally coherent.\",\"image\":\"https://cdn2.penguin.com.au/covers/original/9780937938799.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-10-31T11:32:47.870Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4481,\"isbn\":\"9780747571612\",\"authors\":\"Mick Brown \",\"title\":\"The Dance of 17 Lives\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"The Incredible story of Tibet's 17th Karmapa\",\"publisher\":\"Bloomsbury\",\"pages\":\"304\",\"year\":\"2004\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"In January 2000, two Ambassador taxis twisted their way up the narrow road leading towards Dharamsala in the Himalayan foothills of northern India - the home-in-exile of the Dalai Lama.

It is his view that the exploratory thinking of great Indian masters in the first millennium CE still has much that is of interest to us today, whether we are Buddhist or not. These volumes make those insights accessible.\\n\\nThis, the second volume in the series, focuses on the science of the mind. Readers are first introduced to Buddhist conceptions of mind and consciousness and then led through traditional presentations of mental phenomena to reveal a Buddhist vision of the inner world with fascinating implications for the contemporary disciplines of cognitive science, psychology, emotion research, and philosophy of mind. Major topics include:\\n\\n-The distinction between sensory and conceptual processes and the pan-Indian notion of mental consciousness\\n\\n-Mental factors\u2014specific mental states such as attention, mindfulness, and compassion\u2014and how they relate to one another\\n\\n-The unique tantric theory of subtle levels of consciousness, their connection to the subtle energies, or \u201Cwinds,\u201D that flow through channels in the human body, and what happens to each when the body and mind dissolve at the time of death\\n\\n-The seven types of mental states and how they impact the process of perception\\n\\n-Styles of reasoning, which Buddhists understand as a valid avenue for acquiring sound knowledge\\n\\nIn the final section, the volume offers what might be called Buddhist contemplative science, a presentation of the classical Buddhist understanding of the psychology behind meditation and other forms of mental training.\\n\\nTo present these specific ideas and their rationale, the volume weaves together passages from the works of great Buddhist thinkers like Asanga, Vasubandhu, Nagarjuna, Dignaga, and Dharmakirti. His Holiness the Dalai Lama\u2019s introduction outlines scientific and philosophical thinking in the history of the Buddhist tradition. To provide additional context for Western readers, each of the six major topics is introduced with an essay by John D.

This is not to deny his unique gift for teaching lay people, which enabled him to communicate brilliantly with people from all walks of life, be they simple farmers or University professors. But the results he obtained with teaching and creating solid San \u0307gha communities are plainly visible in the many monasteries which grew up around him, both within Thailand and, later, in England, Australia, Europe and elsewhere. Ajahn Chah foresaw the necessity of establishing the San \u0307gha in the West if long-term results were to be realized.\\n\\nThis book is a collection of talks he gave to the monastic communities in Thailand. They are exhortations given to the communities of bhikkhus, or Buddhist monks, at his own monastery, Wat Ba Pong, and some of its branches. This fact should be born in mind by the lay reader. These talks are not intended to, and indeed cannot, serve as an introduction to Buddhism and meditation practice. They are monastic teachings, addressed primarily to the lifestyle and prob- lems particular to that situation. A knowledge of the basics of Buddhism on the part of the listener was assumed. Many of the talks will thus seem strange and even daunting to the lay reader, with their emphasis on conformity and renunciation.\\n\\nFor the lay reader, then, it is essential to bear in mind the environment within which these talks were given \u2013 the rugged, austere, poverty-stricken North-East corner of Thailand, birth place of most of Thailand\u2019s great meditation teachers and almost its entire forest monastic tra- dition. The people of the North-East are honed by this environment to a rugged simplicity and gentle patience which make them ideal candidates for the forest monk\u2019s lifestyle. Within this environment, in small halls dimly lit by paraffin lamps, surrounded by the assembly of monks, Ajahn Chah gave his teachings.

And they always seem to stop over in Wat Ba Pong. If they don\u2019t stop over on the way, they stop over on the return journey. Wat Ba Pong has become a stop over point. Some people are in such a hurry I don\u2019t even get a chance to see or speak to them. Most of them are looking for merit. I don\u2019t see many looking for a way out of wrongdoing. They\u2019re so intent on getting merit they don\u2019t know where they\u2019re going to put it. It\u2019s like trying to dye a dirty, unwashed cloth.\\n\\nMonks talk straight like this, but it\u2019s hard for most people to put this sort of teaching into practice. It\u2019s hard because they don\u2019t understand. If they understood it would be much easier. Suppose there was a hole, and there was something at the bottom of it. Now anyone who put their hand into the hole and didn\u2019t reach the bottom would say the hole was too deep. Out of a hundred or a thousand people putting their hands down that hole, they\u2019d all say the hole was too deep. Not one would say their arm was too short!\\n\\nThere are so many people looking for merit. Sooner or later they\u2019ll have to start looking for a way out of wrongdoing. But not many people are interested in this. The teaching of the Buddha is so brief, but most people just pass it by, just like they pass through Wat Ba Pong. For most people that\u2019s what the Dhamma is, a stop-over point.\\n\\nOnly three lines, hardly anything to it: Sabba pa \u0304passa akaran. am \u0307 : refraining from all wrong doing. That\u2019s the teaching of all Buddhas. This is the heart of Buddhism. But people keep jumping over it, they don\u2019t want this one. The renunciation of all wrong- doing, great and small, from bodily, verbal and mental actions\u2026 this is the teaching of the Buddhas.\\n\\nIf we were to dye a piece of cloth we\u2019d have to wash it first. But most people don\u2019t do that. Without looking at the cloth, they dip it into the dye straight away. If the cloth is dirty, dying it makes it come out even worse than before. Think about it.

In contrast to the approaches of conventional religion, tantra does not attempt to soothe the turmoil of existence with consoling promises of heaven and salvation. The tantric practitioner chooses to confront the bewildering and chaotic forces of fear, aggression, desire, and pride, and to work with them in such a way that they are channeled into creative expression, loving relationships, and wisely engaged forms of life. In order to make the processes of tantra psychologically intelligible for a contemporary reader, Rob Preece makes judicious use of the work of modern psychotherapy, forging a compelling link between a Western tradition that hearkens back to the alchemical traditions of our own past and the comparably alchemical strategies of Tibetan Buddhist tantric practices. In keeping with the pragmatic and therapeutic aims of both psychotherapy and Buddhist meditation, The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra never loses sight of the central importance of applying these ideas to the concrete realities of day-to-day life. By illuminating the richly symbolic language of tantra through the intermediate language of psychology, The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra points to the transformative nature of tantric practices.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kHyrL68HL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-10-29T16:02:14.407Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4431,\"isbn\":\"9780349403175\",\"authors\":\"Thubten Jinpa\",\"title\":\"A fearless Heart\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Why compassion is the key to greater well-being\",\"publisher\":\"Piatkus\",\"pages\":\"290\",\"year\":\"2015\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"In 1979 Jon Kabat-Zinn popularised the Buddhist practice of mindfulness when he revealed that it could alleviate depression. While mindfulness is a powerful tool, it will only take us so far. Now the highly acclaimed thought leader and English translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Thupten Jinpa Langri (known as Jinpa) teaches us to take the next step. He shows us that compassion correlates strongly with happiness, stress reduction, a sense of purpose, better health and a longer life.\\n\\nSelf-compassion is the overlooked key to achieving our goals. Yet many of us resist compassion, worrying that if we are too compassionate with others we will be taken advantage of and if we are too compassionate with ourselves we won't achieve our goals in life. We can actually fear compassion.\\n\\nUsing the latest science, psychology (from contemporary Western and classical Buddhist sources) as well as stories from others and his own extraordinary life, Jinpa shows us how to train our compassion muscle. Jinpa's programme derives from a remarkable course in Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) that he developed at Stanford University Medical School. Much like Jon Kabat-Zinn's landmark Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction programme, CCT has already had profound effects on the many participants.

Conversation topics range from the origin of matter to the nature of evolution, the ethics of genetic manipulation, and the question of consciousness and ethics.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81j0OFha1OL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-10-29T14:30:23.647Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4415,\"isbn\":\"9781559390705\",\"authors\":\"Ven.

enlightenment. Buddhist tradition tells us that enlightenment is possible for each and every one of us. It\u2019s actually the best thing we can do for others and for the world, but also the best thing we can do for ourselves, because it means being free from all misery, pain, depression, dissatisfaction, and negative emotions, and abiding forever in peace, joy, love, and compassion. What could be more wonderful than that? Kathleen McDonald (Sangye Khadro), a Western nun with decades of experience and author of the bestselling book How to Meditate, guides us through the next step in our meditation practice: the transformative meditations on the Tibetan lamrim stages to enlightenment. She helps us see that the whole purpose of meditation is to transform our mind in a constructive way. For this to happen, we need to become so thoroughly familiar with the lamrim topics that they become our natural way of thinking and living our life. This warm and encouraging guide takes us through meditations on these lamrim topics, such as: - impermanence - refuge - karma - the four noble truths - bodhichitta - the six perfections: giving, ethics, patience, joyous effort, concentration, and wisdom How to Meditate on the Stages of the Path offers practical advice, support, and step-by-step guidance on how to meditate on the stages of the path to enlightenment that will transform the practice of new meditators and seasoned practitioners alike.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Ryf9EAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-10-29T11:47:07.345Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4391,\"isbn\":\"9781570629259\",\"authors\":\"Francesca Fremantle\",\"title\":\"Luminous Emptiness\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"A Guide to Inner Transformation\",\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":\"407\",\"year\":\"2003\",\"categories\":\"Death & Re-birth\",\"description\":\"'Rinpoche is a powerful and eloquent link between the great yogi practitioners of old Tibet and our bewildering 21st century' - from the Foreword by Richard Gere Tsoknyi Rinpoche's story is an unusual one: as a rebellious young man, he fled a monastery to marry and raise a family, then returned to Nepal and has since become a preeminent Tibetan Buddhist teacher. As a married man raising two daughters, Tsoknyi Rinpoche has interesting views on how to balance a life dedicated to Buddhist practice with the demands of a husband and father. In addition, he has a keen interest in the ongoing dialogue between Eastern philosophy and Western research, especially in neuroscience. His writing reflects this awareness of the Western psyche while also imparting the earliest tenets of Buddhism. OPEN HEART, OPEN MIND offers Rinpoche's extraordinary history as an example of how to lead a compassionate life, regardless of status, tradition or circumstances. Accessible and relevant to every variety of reader, this is an illuminating guide from a man who truly is a bridge between ancient wisdom and the modern mind.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mlI7CxS5L._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-10-29T11:10:58.517Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4390,\"isbn\":\"9781614298441\",\"authors\":\"James B.

Nearly a millennium ago, the great Indian Buddhist master Atisa Dipamkarasrij\u00F1ana (ca. 982\u20131054) wrote a guidebook for realizing all the stages to awakening at the repeated request of his closest Tibetan disciple. Atisa is famously the author of the Lamp for the Path to Awakening (Bodhipathapradipa), a short work in verse, but this longer prose work has been virtually unknown, even in Tibet\u2014until now. Atisa\u2019s Stages of the Path Awakening (Bodhipathakrama), translated here, synthesizes all aspects of Buddhist practice, from the very beginning of the path\u2014reflecting on the fortunate opportunity of human rebirth\u2014up through to attaining omniscient buddhahood by nondual meditation. The Indian master\u2019s faithful disciple Dromt\u00F6npa kept these teachings secret, and they were only transmitted to select disciples in a closely guarded transmission, but the lineage died out centuries ago, after Dromt\u00F6npa\u2019s Kadam school was eclipsed by history. Now this significant work of Buddhist path literature has become available owing to recently recovered manuscripts of the Kadampas. This book offers a study and complete translation from the Tibetan of this monument of guidance on the Buddhist path accompanied by the commentaries and ritual texts that were transmitted alongside Atisa\u2019s text. Apple\u2019s substantial introduction includes a structural comparison with Atisa\u2019s famous work, charts the transmission lineage for the present work before it died out, and explores various hypotheses for why their fates diverged. Recovered from the contingencies of history, this book brings to life one of the most holistic and integrated approaches to the highest realizations of the Indian Buddhist path ever transmitted in Tibet.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=mZNdEQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-10-29T11:00:48.293Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4389,\"isbn\":\"7225001124\",\"authors\":\"Unknown Author\",\"title\":\"Kumbum Monestary\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Qinghai Peoples Publishing House\",\"pages\":\"-\",\"year\":\"1986\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"Provides comprehensive information on the geography, history, wildlife, governmental structure, economy, diversity, peoples, religion, and culture of Tibet.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=VrMcNDdB5-MC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:42:17.556Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4388,\"isbn\":\"9780834800526\",\"authors\":\"Shunryu Suzuki\",\"title\":\"Zen Mind, Beginners mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice\",\"copies\":3,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Weatherhill\",\"pages\":\"138\",\"year\":\"1974\",\"categories\":\"Zen\",\"description\":\"Want to improve your concentration and memory, and reduce stress?

Their discussion was one of the highlights of Fromm's life, and the paper Fromm presented (and later expanded into a book) was a watershed work. Fromm demonstrates his mastery of the philosophy and practice of Zen, perfectly articulating how Zen tenets fit into the ideas of psychoanalysis.

Focusing primarily on Soto Zen Buddhism as presented in the original writings of the Japanese scholar monk Eihei D\u014Dgen (1200-1253), and supported and elaborated by relevant contemporary scholarship in relation to the writings of the British psychoanalyst, Wilfred Bion (1897-1979), this book addresses the issue of how can one understand, assimilate, and integrate conceptions of the human mind that originate in the 13th and 20th centuries, as they are visited and inflected by the unconscious preconceptions of a 21st-century perspective. Expressing authentic Buddhist tradition within the frame of psychoanalytic thinking, and supported by online guided audio meditations that accompany the text, this work offers a uniquely interdisciplinary perspective of invaluable clinical significance. Case material garnered from 35 years of psychoanalytic practice as well as examples from daily life support the abstract concepts discussed in the text, rendering it equally relevant for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, as well as students of Zen wishing to explore its practical applications.\",\"image\":\"https://media.s-bol.com/xkkz73D61E7E/542x840.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:42:12.698Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4381,\"isbn\":\"9780900406690\",\"authors\":\"Walpola Rahula\",\"title\":\"Zen and the Taming of the Bull: Towards the Definition of Buddhist Thought\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Gordon Fraser\",\"pages\":\"160\",\"year\":\"1978\",\"categories\":\"Other Buddhist Traditions \",\"description\":\"Zen and the Taming of the Bull: Towards the Definition of Buddhist Thought is a 160-page collection of 14 scholarly essays and lectures written by the eminent Sri Lankan Buddhist monk and academic, Venerable Dr. Walpola Rahula.

International\",\"pages\":\"248\",\"year\":\"1990\",\"categories\":\"Psychology\",\"description\":\"Man cannot live fully until he has considered the great questions of life. It is for this reason that we turn to Western psychology and metaphysics for help in solving our problems.\\nThe approach of psychology and psychotherapy is based on statistical normality, or the behavior of the greatest number. In an effort to conform, we focus on our problems rather than our possibilities, emulating a norm that falls drastically short of our full capacity for development.\\nOriental thought, and Zen thought in particular, seeks to activate the true potential of men and women--to transform our lives, and thereby enable us to shed our problems and suffering.\\nThe Supreme Doctrine applies the essence of Oriental Wisdom to the pursuit of self-knowledge and transcendence. The first step in a holistic psychology is to begin examining the true \\\"state of man,\\\" rather than its aberrations. In so doing, we can give new direction and purpose to our lives.\\nThe author does not advocate \\\"conversion\\\" to Eastern thought, but rather an integration of East and West, wherein Western psychological thinking and reasoning can be enriched and clarified by Oriental wisdom.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815VUZaYHtL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:42:11.588Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4379,\"isbn\":\"262511096\",\"authors\":\"Austin MD, James H.\",\"title\":\"Zen and the Brain: Toward an Understanding of Meditation and Consciousness\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"The MIT Press\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1999\",\"categories\":\"\",\"description\":\"A neuroscientist and Zen practitioner interweaves the latest research on the brain with his personal narrative of Zen. Aldous Huxley called humankind's basic trend toward spiritual growth the \\\"perennial philosophy.\\\" In the view of James Austin, the trend implies a \\\"perennial psychophysiology\\\"\u2014because awakening, or enlightenment, occurs only when the human brain undergoes substantial changes. What are the peak experiences of enlightenment? How could these states profoundly enhance, and yet simplify, the workings of the brain? Zen and the Brain presents the latest evidence. In this book Zen Buddhism becomes the opening wedge for an extraordinarily wide-ranging exploration of consciousness. In order to understand which brain mechanisms produce Zen states, one needs some understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the brain. Austin, both a neurologist and a Zen practitioner, interweaves the most recent brain research with the personal narrative of his Zen experiences. The science is both inclusive and rigorous; the Zen sections are clear and evocative. Along the way, Austin examines such topics as similar states in other disciplines and religions, sleep and dreams, mental illness, consciousness-altering drugs, and the social consequences of the advanced stage of ongoing enlightenment.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=8ywrjDa0vZ8C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:42:11.069Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4378,\"isbn\":\"525240306\",\"authors\":\"Michel Peissel\",\"title\":\"Zanskar: The Hidden Kingdom\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"E.

Yet, a political conflict among Tibetan lamas themselves is now poised to tear the Tibetan Buddhist world apart and threaten the ntegrity of its thousand-year old teachings. On August 2, 1993, Rumtek monastery was attacked. Its monks were expelled and the cloister was turned over to supporters of a boy-lamas appointed by the Chinese government. But Rumtek was not in China, and its attackers were not Communist troops. Rumtek was in India, the refuge for most exiled Tibetans. And it was Tibetan lamas and monks themselves who led the siege. Yet, evidence shows that Chinese agents directly supported Tibetan lamas and monks who attacked Rumtek monastery. While a complete picture of this controversy has been blurred by the media's focus on international Buddhist celebrities, Buddha's Not Smiling challengers Readers to Judge for themselves the health of Tibetan Buddhism today\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61i4Iu5grhL._SL1275_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:42:08.279Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4373,\"isbn\":\"938077775\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

Working with Anger presents an alternative strategy to the most common approach, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), exploring instead how anger can be tackled from a personal constructivist perspective. It provides a conceptual framework and practical advice on the clinical issues of working with anger, including case study examples, service user perspective, a philosophical and developmental underpinning, and suggested ways of preventing anger development. Ways of working with anger are illustrated, including: * Group-based treatments * Individual treatment * Working with adults * Working with children and adolescents * Working with families * Gender and anger * Methods of evaluating anger programmes This practical volume will enable clinicians to set up, run and evaluate their own anger programmes using the constructivist approach. It will therefore be a valuable resource for professionals such as clinical and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, nurses and social workers.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41k-bMNyKGL._SY445_SX342_FMwebp_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:42:06.650Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4369,\"isbn\":\"9781401907242\",\"authors\":\"Tsultrim Allione\",\"title\":\"Women of Wisdom\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Penguin Books\",\"pages\":\"282\",\"year\":\"1988\",\"categories\":\"Women in Buddhism\",\"description\":\"A selection of biographies of six Tibetan female mystics, written by a former Tibetan Buddhist nun who subsequently became a wife and mother.

At the same time, however, this tradition also offers immense possibilities for women. Tsultrim Allione provides an account of the hard lives faced by these women revealing their commitment to Buddhism and shows in turn how important women are to the religion.\",\"image\":\"https://imgs.search.brave.com/aWacOVivPt6J1aDtfVTdmTAwGIqKWErBMhheO2WJ0g8/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9tLm1l/ZGlhLWFtYXpvbi5j/b20vaW1hZ2VzL0kv/NDFTQ1A3RUg1UEwu/anBn\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:42:05.581Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4368,\"isbn\":\"9788189210014\",\"authors\":\"Taklha, Namgyal Lhamo\",\"title\":\"Women of Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Namgyal Lhamo Taklha\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2005\",\"categories\":\"Women in Buddhism\",\"description\":\"This volume presents a variety of data and reflection on the history of Tibetan women.

Paul examines the 'image' of women which arise in a number of Buddhist texts associated with Mahayana and finds that, while ideally the tradition purports to be egalitarian, in actual practice it often betrayed a strong misogynist prejudice. Sanskrit and Chinese texts are organized by theme and type, progressing from those which treat the traditionally orthodox and negative to those which set forth a positive consideration of soteriological paths for women. . . . In Women in Buddhism, Diana Paul may be forcing our consideration of the problem of female enlightenment.

What he represents, and what he has accomplished, heals and transcends the current tensions between Tibet and China. Why the Dalai Lama Matters explores just why he has earned the world's love and respect, and how restoring Tibet's autonomy within China is not only possible, but highly reasonable, and absolutely necessary for all of us together to have a peaceful future as a global community. In the few decades since the illegal Chinese invasion of Tibet, Tibetans have seen their ecosystem destroyed, their religion, language, and culture repressed, and systematic oppression and violence against anyone who dares acknowledge Tibetan sovereignty. Yet, above it all, the Dalai Lama has been a consistent voice for peace, sharing a \\\"Middle-Way\\\" approach that has gathered accolades from the Nobel Peace Prize to the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal. Modeling this peaceful resistance shows the world that nobody is free unless everybody is free -- and that a solution exists that can benefi t all parties, not just one. And more than just his nation have taken notice. His inter-religious dialogues, honest, humble demeanor, and sense of compassionate justice sets him apart in a world at war with itself. When China changes policy and lets Tibetans be who they are, Tibet can, in turn, join with China in peaceful coexistence. Why the Dalai Lama Matters is not merely a book about Tibet or the Dalai Lama. It is a revealing, provocative solution for a world in confl ict, dealing with the very fundamentals of human rights and freedoms. By showing the work that the Dalai Lama has done on behalf of his people, Thurman illuminates a worldwide call to action, showing that power gained by might means nothing in the face of a determined act of truth.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=bGa6uyFTrZAC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:41:57.907Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4355,\"isbn\":\"7131461\",\"authors\":\"Mackenzie, Vicki\",\"title\":\"Why Buddhism?: Westerners in Search of Wisdom\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Thorsons\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2002\",\"categories\":\"\",\"description\":\"In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the relative calm world of Japanese Buddhist scholarship was thrown into chaos with the publication of several works by Buddhist scholars Hakamaya Noriaki and Matsumoto Shiro, dedicated to the promotion of something they called Critical Buddhism (hihan bukkyo).

While their controversial work has received some attention in English-language scholarship, this is the first book-length treatment of Critical Buddhism as both a philosophical and religious movement, where the lines between scholarship and practice blur.

Especially influential in East Asian Buddhism, the teaching clarifies the meaning of nonduality and stresses the importance of the Bodhisattva ideal of \u201Csaving all beings,\u201D as well as many other important themes in Mahayana Buddhism.2 The teaching does this in an insightful and spiritually imaginative, if complex, manner that includes humor, satire, extravagant drama, magic, poetry, and lavish description, as well as straightforward doctrinal discussion. The style of presentation makes The Teaching of Vimalakirti one of the most fascinating, inspiring, and readable, if bizarre, Mahayana Sutras, in fact a Sutra that is so extraordinary that readers are urged to relax their logical, discursive, habitual way of thinking in order to fully absorb the teaching. Most importantly, the Sutra stresses the nondual teaching that all dichotomies like nirvana and samsara, sickness and health, sacred and secular, and men and women are ultimately empty and thus make no sense.3 When this teaching is fully realized, one understands completely (as Dogen and Susuki Roshi continually point out) that everything is already whole \u2013 so \u2018just try your best and show up.\u2019\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=4nIUEQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:41:39.979Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4327,\"isbn\":\"9748907287\",\"authors\":\"Breiter, P.\",\"title\":\"Venerable Father\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Buddhadhamma Foundation\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Art\",\"description\":\"Available until now only in limited editions, \\\"Venerable Father\\\" has become an underground classic among Buddhists, especially those practicing the Thai tradition.

Breiter describes Ajahn Chah as a figure who is at once human yet extraordinary, an orthodox yet unconventional teacher whose remarkable skill, patience, and compassion in training disciples flowed naturally from his deep and joyous realization of the truth. Breiter also explains, quite vividly, the life of a Westerner in a Thai forest monastery and the unique spiritual lessons to be learned there. PAUL BREITER ordained in the Theravada Buddhist tradition in Thailand in 1970 and soon thereafter met Ajahn Chah. He became one of Ajahn Chah's favorite disciples and his translator, and stayed with him until disrobing in 1977.

Beginning with stories of people who have recovered from disease through meditation, Rinpoche addresses the central role played by karma and by the mental habit of \\\"labeling\\\" in causing illness, and shows how meditation and other thought techniques for developing compassion and insight can eliminate the ultimate cause of all disease. Ultimate Healing shows us that by transforming our minds, especially through the development of compassion, we can eliminate the ultimate cause of all disease.

In Twelve Examples of Illusion, Jan Westerhoff offers an engaging look at a dozen illusions--including magic tricks, dreams, rainbows, and reflections in a mirror--showing how these phenomena can give us insight into reality. For instance, he offers a fascinating discussion of optical illusions, such as the wheel of fire (the \\\"wheel\\\" seen when a torch is swung rapidly in a circle), discussing Tibetan explanations of this phenomenon as well as the findings of modern psychology, and significantly clarifying the idea that most phenomena--from chairs to trees--are similar illusions. The book uses a variety of crystal-clear examples drawn from a wide variety of fields, including contemporary philosophy and cognitive science, as well as the history of science, optics, artificial intelligence, geometry, economics, and literary theory. Throughout, Westerhoff makes both Buddhist philosophical ideas and the latest theories of mind and brain come alive for the general reader.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=TZjGjj8gqB0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:41:30.696Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4312,\"isbn\":\"9780062500977\",\"authors\":\"Sandy Boucher\",\"title\":\"Turning the Wheel: American Women Creating the New Buddhism\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Harper & Row\",\"pages\":\"401\",\"year\":\"1988\",\"categories\":\"Women in Buddhism\",\"description\":\"Examines the influence of American Buddhist women on Buddhist spiritual practice and discusses current issues involving politics and family life\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NNzle-gUL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:41:30.210Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4311,\"isbn\":\"069161234X\",\"authors\":\"Thurman, Robert A.F.\",\"title\":\"Tsong Khapa's Speech of Gold in the Essence of True Eloquence: Reason and Enlightenment in the Central Philosophy of Tibet (Princeton Library of Asian Translations, 130)\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Princeton University Press\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2014\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=pIEZAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:41:29.586Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4310,\"isbn\":\"9748909697\",\"authors\":\"Ajahn Jagaro\",\"title\":\"True Freedom\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Buddhadhamma Foundation\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1869\",\"categories\":\"Art\",\"description\":\"True Freedom: Spinoza's Practical Philosophy is a straightforward presentation of Spinoza's philosophy focused on the issue of how one might live. The book is unique among recent Spinoza scholarship in the way in which it centers on the ethical component in Spinoza's work. In order to bring Spinoza's ethics to the fore, Brent Adkins begin with what he considers to be Spinoza's fundamental ethical insight: namely, that emotions are controlled by understanding them. Adkins reveals how the process of unfolding Spinoza's philosophy is always anchored in the very practical issue of living well. The significance of True Freedom lies in its understanding of Spinoza's ethics as an 'experimentalism' and its accessibility to a very wide audience. Despite the fact that Spinoza died over 300 years ago, his writings remain remarkably prescient for a wide variety of disciplines, from religion to neuroscience. The source of this prescience, however, comes from Spinoza's recasting ethical theory in terms of how we might live rather than in terms of how we should live. Freedom in every aspect of life from the personal to the political to the religious is dependent on a particular way of engaging with the world. This engagement takes the form of an experiment to see if what we engage with results in an increase or a decrease in our capacity to affect and be affected by the world. True freedom, for Spinoza, lies in increasing our capacities.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=vUC1mgQo12AC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:41:28.702Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4309,\"isbn\":\"1570625980\",\"authors\":\"Longchen Yeshe Dorje (Kangyur Rinpoche)\",\"title\":\"Treasury of Precious Qualities: A Commentary on the Root Text of Jigme Lingpa\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2001\",\"categories\":\"Other Buddhist Traditions \",\"description\":\"\u00AB Le Tr\u00E9sor de pr\u00E9cieuses qualit\u00E9s, qui appartient au genre lam rim, \u00AB \u00E9tapes de la voie \u00BB, pr\u00E9sente tous les niveaux de la voie de l\u2019\u00C9veil selon la tradition nyingmapa jusques et y compris les enseignements du Dzogchen.

With its cross-cultural stance, the book concerns itself with the unusual task of creating links between the symbolic representations of gender in the philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism, and contemporary western thinking in relation to identity politics and intersubjectivity. A wide range of sources are drawn upon in order to build up arguments concerning the complexities of individual gender roles in Tibetan society, alongside the symbolic spaces allocated to the male and female within its cultural forms, including its sacred institutions, its representations and in the enactment of ritual. And in the light of Tibetan Buddhisms popularity in the west, timely questions are raised concerning gender and the potential uses and abuses of power and secrecy in Tibetan Tantra, which, with its unique emphasis on guru-devotion and sexual ritual, is now being disseminated worldwide. What is made clear in this new edition, however, is that Campbell's ultimate aim is to elucidate, through the use of a psychoanalytical perspective, something of the dynamic inter-relationship between the inner lives of individuals, their gender identities in society, and the belief systems which they create in order to provide cohesion, continuity and meaning, whether it be in the east or the west.\",\"image\":\"https://archive.org/services/img/travellerinspace0000camp/full/pct:200/0/default.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:41:25.022Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4303,\"isbn\":\"9781934608067\",\"authors\":\"Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje\",\"title\":\"Traveling the Path of Compassion\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"A Commentary on The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva\",\"publisher\":\"KTD Publications\",\"pages\":\"121\",\"year\":\"2009\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"Traveling the Path of Compassion is the commentary on The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva by Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the seventeenth incarnation of Gyalwang Karmapa.

Its ninth chapter, the section on transcendent wisdom, is known among Buddhist scholars as a challenging exposition of Madhyamika philosophy and difficult to understand without a commentary. This invaluable volume with its precise elucidation of core issues of Tibetan Buddhism stands as a key work in Buddhist literature.\\n\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780937938652-us.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:41:17.292Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4290,\"isbn\":\"1559390301\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

In short, it is the answer to those who ask what is Buddhism all about? and what is Buddhist meditation? Buddhism is essentially a collection of skilful methods of working with the mind. If we understand and apply these to our lives, we would unfold our inherent ability to experience inner peace, compassion and wisdom by developing the basic potential of our minds. This potential is within each of us and anyone can realise it by making the effort. Buddhists therefore have no sense of being different or unique. The study and practice of Buddhism are not matters of custom. We do not have to sit in a particular way or wear special clothes, or appear in a certain way. Such superficial matters are of no importance. The teachings are concerned with the diminishing and eventual elimination of our negative patterns, not changing our superficial appearance. This title helps to guide us along that path.\",\"image\":\"https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1698952099i/67774279.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:41:15.531Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4286,\"isbn\":\"9780937938966\",\"authors\":\"Gyalwa Gendum Druppa, Translated by Glenn H.

Davidson explores how the translation and spread of esoteric Buddhist texts dramatically shaped Tibetan society and led to its rise as the center of Buddhist culture throughout Asia, replacing India as the perceived source of religious ideology and tradition. During the Tibetan Renaissance (950-1200 C.E.), monks and yogins translated an enormous number of Indian Buddhist texts. They employed the evolving literature and practices of esoteric Buddhism as the basis to reconstruct Tibetan religious, cultural, and political institutions. Many translators achieved the de facto status of feudal lords and while not always loyal to their Buddhist vows, these figures helped solidify political power in the hands of religious authorities and began a process that led to the Dalai Lama's theocracy.

Pilgrims travelled to local, regional, and national centres throughout recorded Tibetan history. In recent years, pilgrimage has resumed in areas where it had been forbidden by the Chinese authorities, and has now become one of the most prominent religious expressions of Tibetan national identity. In this major new work, leading scholars of Asian pilgrimage traditions discuss historical and contemporary aspects of pilgrimage within the Tibetan cultural world. Myths and legends, material conditions, textual sources, a modern pilgrim's impressions, political and economic influences, biographies and contemporary developments - all these and many other issues are examined here. The result is an informative and often entertaining work which contributes greatly to our knowledge of the history and culture of Tibet as well as the wider issues of religious power and practice.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jca+-edfL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:57.817Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4261,\"isbn\":\"9789379385482\",\"authors\":\"Andrew Bloomfield and Yanki Tshering\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Phrasebook\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion Publications\",\"pages\":\"144\",\"year\":\"1987\",\"categories\":\"Learn Tibetan\",\"description\":\"\",\"image\":\"https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQDXy0S5RmWcriP0F_ez_B_Cg4yBN7zZdR_7A&s\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:57.094Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4260,\"isbn\":\"856671894\",\"authors\":\"Pal, Pratapaditya\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Paintings: A Study of Tibetan Thankas, Eleventh to Nineteenth Centuries\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Ravi Kumar\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1984\",\"categories\":\"Modern Science\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=193qAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:56.523Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4259,\"isbn\":\"9788174360588\",\"authors\":\"Dolkar Khangkar\",\"title\":\"Tibetan Medicine: The Buddhist Way of Healing\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Lustre Press\",\"pages\":\"84\",\"year\":\"1998\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Medicine\",\"description\":\"A fascinating system linking ill health with the state of the mind.

Early influences came from India in the form of what is now called Ayurvedic medicine as well as more spiritual and psychologically based systems, such as the teachings of Buddha. Later, in the 7th and 8th centuries the Tibetan government began sponsoring conferences where doctors skilled in the medical systems of China, Persia, India and Greece presented their ideas. These diverse influences formed a foundation for Tibetan medical theory which acknowledges how health and illness result both from the relationship between the mind and body and people's connectedness to the natural world and sense of spirituality.

Holistic practices such as adhering to proper diet, observing rules for appropriate behavior, and administering medical preparations are coupled with the latest technology and methods to treat the whole patient. In light of this trend, there is much to be gained from understanding of one of the oldest medical systems still in existence. Tibetan Medicinal Plants provides you a detailed analysis of how Tibetan plants are used in this centuries old system. The book opens with a summary of Tibetan medicine and covers the various habitats in which the plants are found. The main part of this volume encompasses 60 monographs listed by the Tibetan plant name. Each monograph consists of several chapters addressing different topics related either to the Tibetan or the Western approach. Most of the monographs contain a description of the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the used plant parts, and anatomical features of 76 plants are provided. Each monograph presents an overview of the known chemical constituents and pharmacological properties of each plant and describes their use in Tibetan medicine. In contrast to other publications on Tibetan medicine, where translations of the Tibetan terms are given in other languages, this book treats the Tibetan word as a technical term, keeps the Tibetan term and explains its meaning, lessening confusion by reducing the number of translations. Traditional Tibetan medicine has been in existence for centuries. Curative practices existed in the prebuddistic era, and the art of healing developed more than 2500 years ago.

This book is dedicated to the history, theory, and practice of Tibetan medicine, a unique and complex system of understanding body and mind, treating illness, and fostering health and well-being. Sowa Rigpa has been influenced by Chinese, Indian, and Greco-Arab medical traditions but is distinct from them. Developed within the context of Buddhism, Tibetan medicine was adapted over centuries to different health needs and climates across the region encompassing the Tibetan Plateau, the Himalayas, and Mongolia. Its focus on a holistic approach to health has influenced Western medical thinking about the prevention, diagnoses, and treatment of illness.

Today, Tibet 's peaceful , integrated way of life; deeply felt Buddhist tradition; and its culture rich in art, architecture, dance and music have all but disappeared, gradually replaced by the trappings of life introduced since the Chinese take-over of the 1950s. Most of the 3,000 monasteries and temples that once dotted the Tibetan countryside have been destroyed or converted into museums. Only in a few scattered emigre communities, in the treasures hastily smuggled out by 100,000 refugees who fled Tibet in 1959, and in a handful of photographs, is the old Tibet remembered and preserved. Tibet: The Sacred Realm brings together for the first time a selection of more than 140 of these rare photographs, taken from 1880 to 1950 by more than twenty intrepid adventurers, naturalists, explorers, scientists, and missionaries, who were among the very few in the West to travel to Tibet. In this valuable visual record the forward-looking thirteenth Dalai Lama sits in exile in India surrounded by his high officials; one of Tibet's wealthiest families poses in their Western-style dining room; the artificial lake of Lhasa reflects the imposing gilded roofs of the Potala Palace; Buddhist monks perform sacred dances in ornate animal masks; pilgrims circumambulate the holy city; and monks and sheepskin-bundled nomads gather on the vast northern plains to listen for the first time to a visitor's gramophone. Selected from the collections of twenty-three institutions' archives and private sources in Europe and the United States, the photographs represent the finest work of the explorer-photographers Alexandra David-Neel, Brooke Dolan, George Taylor, Ilya Tolstoy, and Claude White, among others, including the Tibetan photographer Sinam Wangfel Laden-La. Facing inclement weather, the threats of bandits, the objections of the lamas, the countless other hardships, these photographers still managed to distill the essence of Tibet's mystery and fascination. Recalling his early years in Tibet, Buddhist scholar, translator, and son of the former chief state oracle of Tibet, Lobsang P. Lhalungpa adds another dimension to the story revealed in the photographs. He shares his recollections of a boyhood in Lhasa, his training under the most revered Tibetan lamas, his life as a monk official in the Dalai Lama's government, and his sorrowful departure from his native land: \\\"I mounted my favorite gelding, which had been saddled with its finest saddle cover. As I bent down to tuck the folds of my clothes under one leg, my round, fur-and-brocade-trimmed hat slipped off my head and fell to the ground. I remember feeling instant apprehension. Was this a sign that I would never see Lhasa again?\\\" As the technological age threatens to swallow, one by one, the unique civilizations of the world, the lessons to be learned from the age-old traditions of Tibet become all the more valuable. Tibet's past, illuminated here by glimpses of special vision, offers profound spiritual insight and a majestic feast for the eye. The photographs are introduced by a preface by his Holiness the Dalai Lama. \\\"Whatever the fate of Tibet, the spiritual essence of the Sacred Realm remains in the hearts of the Tibetan people. Our cultural heritage lives, too, in the handful of photographs taken in our country before 1950, all the more precious because they preserve a sense of time and place that now exists only in our memories.\\\"--Lobsang P.

The book is also an account of the eternal Tibet before the invasion, a story of a hidden world which will never be the same again, and the events which overtook it.\",\"image\":\"https://cdn.webshopapp.com/shops/274939/files/428016276/element-books-dorset-tibet-my-story-by-jetsun-pema.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:44.135Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4237,\"isbn\":\"9780140039702\",\"authors\":\"Thubten Jigme Norbu\",\"title\":\"Tibet: Its History, Religion And People\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Penguin\",\"pages\":\"359\",\"year\":\"1987\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41-kcHuQaTL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:43.602Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4235,\"isbn\":\"1991\",\"authors\":\"\\\"Perkins, Jane\",\"title\":\"Tibet in Exile\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"Orion Publishing Co\",\"categories\":\"\",\"description\":\"This book delves deep into the lived experiences of the Tibetan diaspora, offering an insightful exploration through the intersecting lenses of politics, psychology, and culture. Drawing from the expertise of scholars in fields such as political science, sociology, psychology, and cultural studies, the book provides a rich, multidisciplinary analysis that reveals the complexities of Tibetan life in exile. It meticulously examines the delicate diplomacy between the Tibetan government-in-exile and host nations, unraveling the intricate political dynamics that shape the aspirations and challenges faced by Tibetans abroad. In addition to political analysis, the book sheds light on the psychological resilience and cultural innovation within the Tibetan community. Through an exploration of art, music, literature, and religious practices, it uncovers how Tibetans have creatively reimagined and redefined their cultural identity in the face of displacement and adversity. This volume is an essential resource for students, researchers, and educators in anthropology, political science, sociology, psychology, and cultural studies. It also serves as a valuable tool for policymakers, advocates, and activists engaged in issues of diaspora, migration, human rights, and social justice. For anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of exile, the endurance of cultural identity, and the strength of community, this book is a must-read. This version aims to be more engaging while clearly defining the book\u2019s scope, relevance, and target audience.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=NiVDEQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:42.222Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4234,\"isbn\":\"8186470532\",\"authors\":\"Dr. Abu Bakr Amir-uddin Nadwi\",\"title\":\"Tibet and Tibetan Muslims\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Library of Tibetan Works and Archives\",\"pages\":\"93\",\"year\":\"2004\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"This book focuses on the minority of Tibetan Muslims among the Tibetan Diaspora. Most scholars remain unaware of the Tibetan Muslim community or its associations with Buddhism and the Dalai Lama. As a religious and political leader, he is the embodiment of Tibetan space, territory, population, religion, and identity. The Western public has assumed a monolithic vision of Tibet as a pure Buddhist Theocracy. However, Tibet was impacted by other religions, i.e. Christianity and Islam. The 1.000,000 Tibetan refugees in India are one of the largest Tibetan Diaspora; the majority are Buddhist, and the Muslim minority is estimated at no more than a few hundred families. Tibetan Muslims constitute a minority within another Tibetan Buddhist minority of exiled Tibetans in India. The study based on field research emphasizes a hybrid process of the Tibetan Muslim's Diaspora in exile. A cultural Buddhist Tibetan heritage associated with Kashmiri Muslim rituals and customs creates hybrid cultural practices and traditions, which could be characterized as rhizomatic.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rOlCKpa7L._SL1500_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:41.695Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4233,\"isbn\":\"8186627588\",\"authors\":\"Bstan-\u00CA\u0152dzin-rgya-mtsho\",\"title\":\"Tibet and the Tibetan people's struggle : 10 March statements of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, 1961-2005.\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Dept. of Information and International Relations, Central Tibetan Administration\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2005\",\"categories\":\"Religion/Spirituality\",\"description\":\"How do you govern 130,000 people from exile? Tibet - and the struggles of diaspora Tibetans - are elements of an ongoing and highly debated issue. The Dalai Lama's democratisation process during his time in India from 1959-2011, and the subsequent election of Lobsang Sangay as prime minister-in-exile, marked to the Tibetan people the move away from a seemingly feudal societal structure and traditional theocratic governance. Central to these Tibetan democracy aspirations is the 'freedom struggle' in which Tibetans dream of an ideal politics which includes both Tibetans residing in Tibet and those in exile, with the ultimate goal of returning to a self-ruled Tibet. However, some have questioned whether the fight for democracy has helped or hindered a united and free Tibet. To elucidate this complex debate Trine Brox has undertaken extensive fieldwork investigating how democracy is viewed and practised amongst Tibetans in exile. In so doing, she explores how the Tibetans living in India imagine, organise and negotiate governance that is modern and democratic, but uniquely Tibetan. This is an important book for those with an interest in Tibet, diaspora communities and democracy.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=o-mKDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:41.097Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4232,\"isbn\":\"3802521773\",\"authors\":\"Poncar, Jaroslav & Keay, John\",\"title\":\"Tibet : Tor zum Himmel\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Vgs\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1988\",\"categories\":\"Religion/Spirituality\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Sp-EpmxtmGwC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:40.611Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4231,\"isbn\":\"9780876549032\",\"authors\":\"The Newark Museum\",\"title\":\"Tibet - A Hidden World (Postcard Books)\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Pomegranate Communications Inc,US\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31h4BLfCXjL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:40.022Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4230,\"isbn\":\"948075694\",\"authors\":\"Toutain, Pierre\",\"title\":\"Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Murdoch Books UK\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1987\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"60 itin\u00E9raires de trekking et de p\u00E8lerinage avec de nombreux renseignements pratiques, et une introduction au bouddhisme tantrique et \u00E0 l'histoire de l'art tib\u00E9tain.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=RPZCl9mmXa0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:39.204Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4229,\"isbn\":\"725105720\",\"authors\":\"Sorrel\",\"title\":\"Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"MacDonald & Company\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1988\",\"categories\":\"Prayers & Sadhanas\",\"description\":\"60 itin\u00E9raires de trekking et de p\u00E8lerinage avec de nombreux renseignements pratiques, et une introduction au bouddhisme tantrique et \u00E0 l'histoire de l'art tib\u00E9tain.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=RPZCl9mmXa0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:38.622Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4228,\"isbn\":\"500541051\",\"authors\":\"Kling, Kevin\",\"title\":\"Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"New York, N.

These teachings can liberate us from the prisons of our mental constructions and allow us to enjoy life fully and be a resource for others. Near the end of his life, the Buddha declared, \\\"during forty-five years, I have not said to encourage his disciplines not caught by words or ideas. Thich Nhat Hanh calls this \\\"the roar of a great lion, the thundering silence of a Buddha\\\". The attitude of openness, non-attachment from views, and playfulness offered by the Buddha in this sutra is an important door for us to enter the realm of Mahayana Buddhist thought and practice. In Thich Nhat Hanh's commentaries he makes use of such classic Buddhist allegories, as The Raft is not the Shore, and The Finger Pointing at the Moon and demonstrate the practical applications of these teachings in everyday life. This revised edition contains new material based on Thich Nhat Hanh\u2019s more recent teachings.

In accessible, intimate language, this enlightening guide explains the unique psychological contributions of the teachings of Buddhism, describes the path of meditation in contemporary psychological language, and lays out the possibility of a meditation-inspired psychotherapy.

The Great Exposition of Secret Mantra part 2 & 3 by Tsong-ka-pa, details the practices of Action and Performance Tantra. Special deity yoga techniques for the development of the heart, mind and physical form of a Buddha are presented in a coherent series of yogic exercises. The Mudras (hand gestures) that accompany the meditations are clearly illustrated.

Mahaprajapati was the only mother the Buddha ever knew. His birth mother, Maya, died shortly after childbirth, and her sister Mahaprajapati took the infant to her breast, nurturing and raising him into adulthood. While there is a lot of ambiguity overall in the Buddha's biography, this detail remains consistent across all Buddhist traditions and literature. In this first full biography of Mahaprajapati, The Woman Who Raised the Buddha presents her life story, with attention to her early years as sister, queen, matriarch, and mother, as well as her later years as a nun. Drawing from story fragments and canonical records, Wendy Garling reveals just how exceptional Mahaprajapati's role was as leader of the first generation of Buddhist women, helping the Buddha establish an equal community of lay and monastic women and men. Mother to the Buddha, mother to early Buddhist women, mother to the Buddhist faith, Mahaprajapati's journey is finally presented as one interwoven with the founding of Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=XNwfEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:29.950Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4214,\"isbn\":\"9781846041259\",\"authors\":\"Jack Kornfield\",\"title\":\"The Wise Heart: Buddhist Psychology for the West\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Rider\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2008\",\"categories\":\"Psychology\",\"description\":\"Let one of the leading spiritual teachers of our time offer you a radical, positive approach to living in today's world.

But the ancient texts on which these remarkable teachings are based can be difficult to penetrate for modern seekers. Now, drawing on his experience as a monk trained in Thailand, Burma and India, as well as his expert psychology practice, Jack Kornfield provides an accessible, definitive guide to Buddhism for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. This important work is in the tradition of his classic works A Path with Heart and After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, offering practical tools to coping with modern life and dealing with emotions such as fear, anger and shame. Kornfield also shares the illuminating stories of his students and fellow practitioners, as well as his own journey towards enlightenment, including his recovery from a violence-filled childhood. Here is a rare treasure that will give readers greater access to the secret beauty within - and without.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=aQG5l4pRfUkC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:29.338Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4213,\"isbn\":\"9780877736325\",\"authors\":\"Pema Chodron\",\"title\":\"The Wisdom of No Escape and the Path of Loving-Kindness\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":\"110\",\"year\":\"1991\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"The \\\"down-to-earth, unsentimental, [and] high-humored\\\" Pema Ch\u00F6dr\u00F6n classic on learning to face our lives just as they are (Los Angeles Times)\\nIt's true, as they say, that we can only love others when we first love ourselves--and we can only experience real joy when we stop running from pain. The key to understanding these truisms is simple but not easy: we must learn to open ourselves up to life in all its manifestations. Here, spiritual teacher and When Things Fall Apart author Pema Ch\u00F6dr\u00F6n presents a uniquely practical approach to doing just that, showing us the true value in having \\\"no escape\\\" from the ups and downs of life.\\nDrawing from her own experiences with marriage, divorce, motherhood, and more, Pema reveals that when we embrace the happiness and heartache, the inspiration and confusion--all the twists and turns that are part of natural life--we can begin to discover a true wellspring of courageous love that's been within our hearts all along. As she writes in chapter four: \\\"Our neurosis and our wisdom are made out of the same material.

With wit, honesty, and humility, Blofeld portrays his search for wisdom and his discovery of a genuine spiritual path. He describes in vivid detail his life in Peking and his travels in Tibet, Mongolia, China, India, and Burma: the worlds of remote mountain monasteries, the sacred inner chambers of sages and yogis, and the inspired lives of simple, ordinary people. The book is particularly valuable for its sensitive picture of a world that no longer exists. As Huston Smith remarks in his Foreword, \\\"Blofeld encountered Chinese Buddhism and Taosim at a very special moment in history, the final moment before they came under Communist onslaught. To have his intimate glimpses into what they were like as still-living traditions is historically important.\\\"\\n\\nAmong John Blofeld's notable books are The Tantric Mysticism of Tibet and Bodhisattva of Compassion, both in Shambhala Dragon Editions, and The Book of Changes, a translation of the I Ching.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41v+P24ceJL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:26.392Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4208,\"isbn\":\"140191666\",\"authors\":\"Dummer, Tom\",\"title\":\"The Western Way: Volume 2\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Penguin Books\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1989\",\"categories\":\"Art\",\"description\":\"L\u2019id\u00E9e de l\u2019existence d\u2019un mod\u00E8le occidental de la guerre qui serait n\u00E9 dans l\u2019Antiquit\u00E9 a fait l\u2019objet d\u2019une importante diffusion au cours des derni\u00E8res ann\u00E9es.

This book, the so-called Hidden Life, presents a very different Tsangyang Gyamtso, neither a louche poet nor a drinker, but a sober Buddhist practitioner, who chose to escape at Kokonor and to adopt the guise of a wandering monk, only appearing some years later, after many fantastical and mystical adventures, in what is today Inner Mongolia, where he oversaw monasteries and lived as a Buddhist teacher. The Hidden Life was written by a Mongolian monk in 1756, ten years following the death of the lama, his spiritual teacher, whom he identifies as Tsangyang Gyamtso, and in whose identity as the Sixth Dalai Lama he clearly has complete faith. However, as one might imagine, there is nowadays no agreement among the wider Tibetan, Mongolian and Tibetological scholarly community as to whether this man was a charlatan or deluded, or whether he was indeed the Sixth Dalai Lama. The text is divided into four parts. The first part gives an account of the background and birth of the Sixth Dalai Lama, while the opening section of the second part (which is in direct speech, dictated by the lama) continues on, through the political intrigue in Lhasa at the end of the seventeenth century, to the lama's escape at Kokonor. The remainder of the second part consists of a visionary narrative, in which the lama travels through Tibet and Nepal, and in which he encounters divine figures, yetis, zombies and a man with no head, all of which is presented as fact. The third and longest part is an account of the final thirty years of the lama's life, and his activity in Mongolia as an influential Buddhist teacher, including a lengthy and moving description of his death. The final part includes a list of his students and, most interestingly perhaps, a theological and philosophical justification for the coexistence of the Sixth and Seventh Dalai Lamas.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/414DhRfEnCL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:15.828Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4191,\"isbn\":\"9781559393058\",\"authors\":\"Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye\",\"title\":\"The Treasury of Knowledge: Book Eight, Part Three\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"The Elements of Tantric Practice\",\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"470\",\"year\":\"2008\",\"categories\":\"Tantra\",\"description\":\"Jamg\u00F6n Kongtr\u00FCl's Treasury of Knowledge in ten volumes is a unique encyclopedic masterpiece embodying the entire range of Buddhist teachings as they were presented in Tibet. Tibetan Buddhist teachers expected their students to study Buddhist philosophical texts as well as practice reflection and meditation; present-day students have also realized that awakening has its source in study as well as in reflection and practice. The Elements of Tantric Practice sets forth the essential components of the path of highest yoga tantra, a system of meditation that unites wisdom and compassion in its two phases of practice. The first phase, that of creation, relies primarily on the use of the imagination to effect personal transformation. The phase of completion allows the practitioner to perfect the process of transformation by training in methods that manipulate the energies and constituents of the mind and body. The result of this path is the direct experience of the fundamental nature of mind and phenomena. The Elements of Tantric Practice concerns the meditative processes of the inner system of secret mantra\u2014that of highest yoga tantra\u2014and is based primarily on tantric sources. The author introduces the subject by describing the path of tantra and its underlying principles. The main body of the book deals with two major elements essential to all highest yoga tantras: the practice of the creation phase and that of the completion phase. For the first phase, Kongtr\u00FCl describes the visualization sequences in which ordinary perceptions are transformed into the forms of awakening and explains how these practices purify the stages of cyclic existence\u2014life, death, and rebirth. The creation phase prepares the practitioner for the techniques of the completion phase, which entail focusing directly on the channels, winds, and vital essences that form the subtle body. Kongtr\u00FCl presents the key elements of a variety of tantras, including the Guhyasamaja and Yamari, belonging to the class of father tantras and the Kalachakra Hevajra Chakrasamvara Mahamaya Buddhakapala and Tara mother tantras. All these tantras share a common goal: to make manifest the pristine awareness that is the union of emptiness and bliss.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=wn0SAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:15.240Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4190,\"isbn\":\"9781559392846\",\"authors\":\"Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye, Sarah Harding\",\"title\":\"The treasury of knowledge: Book Eight, Part Four\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Esoteric Instructions\",\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion Publications\",\"pages\":\"527\",\"year\":\"2007\",\"categories\":\"Tantra\",\"description\":\"In Tibetan religious literature, Jamg\u00F6n Kongtr\u00FCl's Treasury of Knowledge in ten books stands out as a unique, encyclopedic masterpiece embodying the entire range of Buddhist teachings as it was preserved in Tibet.

Following the genre of a story, the book offers dynamic understandings of unconscious processes and the intergenerational transmission of trauma across generations of an exiled and internally displaced people. The book analyses the paradoxical spaces which Tibetans in exile occupy as they strive to preserve their cultural and spiritual heritage, rituals, religion, and language while also dynamically remoulding themselves to adapt to their living realities. Presenting a nuanced picture, it narrates stories of refugees, political prisoners and survivors of torture along with stories of loss and angst, cultural celebrations and political demonstrations. The author in this new edition highlights and explores the art, artists, and poetry in the exiled community. The volume also looks at the significance of Buddhism and the philosophy of the Dalai Lama for the people in exile and the personal and collective will of the community to connect their lost past to a living present and an imagined future. Rooted in the psychoanalytical tradition, this book will be of interest to psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, scholars of literature, and arts and aesthetics. It will also appeal to those interested in Sino-Tibetan relations, Buddhist studies, South Asian Studies, cultural and peace studies, and those working with refugees, and displaced persons.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=LoXxDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:13.558Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4187,\"isbn\":\"9781559391016\",\"authors\":\"Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion Pubications\",\"pages\":\"217\",\"year\":\"1998\",\"categories\":\"Bonpo\",\"description\":\"\\\"If we cannot carry our practice into sleep,\\\" Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche writes, \\\"if we lose ourselves every night, what chance do we have to be aware when death comes?

Such attainment can happen, as shown here, by means of knowing the One Mind, the cosmic All-Consciousness, without recourse to the postures, breathings, and other techniques associated with the lower yogas. The original text for this volume belongs to the Bardo Th\u00F6dol series of treatises concerning various ways of achieving transcendence, a series that figures into the Tantric school of the Mahayana. Authorship of this particular volume is attributed to the legendary Padma-Sambhava, who journeyed from India to Tibet in the 8th century, as the story goes, at the invitation of a Tibetan king. Padma-Sambhava's text per se is preceded by an account of the great guru's own life and secret doctrines. It is followed by the testamentary teachings of the Guru Phadampa Sangay, which are meant to augment the thought of the other gurus discussed herein.\\n\\nStill more useful supplementary material will be found in the book's introductory remarks, by its editor Evans-Wentz and by the eminent psychoanalyst C.

The practice of this vehicle is basic Shamatha and Vipashyana meditation. The second vehicle of this practice is the Mahayana path, which involves the understanding of the emptiness of phenomena and understanding of the ultimate and conventional truths. The practice of the Mahayana is embarking upon the bodhisattva path, engendering great compassion, and practicing the six perfections.\\n\\nFinally, Thrangu Rinpoche, a well known teacher, explains the third vehicle of the Vajrayana, which involves doing the preliminary preparations, engaging in meditation on the yidams, and doing the meditation of looking directly at mind called \\\"mahamudra\\\".\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41DQP9TKCWL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:40:06.313Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4175,\"isbn\":\"1559390689\",\"authors\":\"Rinchen, Geshe Sonam\",\"title\":\"The Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas: An Oral Teaching\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2001\",\"categories\":\"Diverse\",\"description\":\"All lineages of Mahamudra meditation have their source in a verse teaching\u2014a \\\"song of realization\\\"\u2014sung by the Mahasiddha Tilopa to his disciple Naropa on the banks of the Ganges River more than a thousand years ago.

The fleeting existence (samsara) is in its depth being, i.e. a state of complete integration (nirvana) which may well be described as divine reality of a feminine dimension This book presents the first English translation of an eighth century Tibetan Buddhist text. Despite its centuries-old origin, the kun byed rgyal po'i mdo addresses themes of great concern to the present, including how to achieve a holistic world-view that integrates the peripheral nature of existence with the ground of being; and the interrelatedness of periphery and center, of individual and universe. From a contemporary viewpoint this can be seen to engender a feminist understanding of the ground of being. Unlike other Buddhist texts, the kun byed rgyal po'i mdo invites the reader to rejoice in this world as beautified and intelligible, and thus the innate purity of the intelligent potency, the motherly Buddha, will be experienced.

mountain\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"East West Publications\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1983\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"The Western image of Tibet as a sacred land is in many ways a mythical construction. But the Tibetans themselves have traditionally mapped out their land in terms of areas of sacred space, and pilgrimage, ensuring a high degree of mobility within all classes of Tibetan society. Pilgrims travelled to local, regional, and national centres throughout recorded Tibetan history. In recent years, pilgrimage has resumed in areas where it had been forbidden by the Chinese authorities, and has now become one of the most prominent religious expressions of Tibetan national identity. In this major new work, leading scholars of Asian pilgrimage traditions discuss historical and contemporary aspects of pilgrimage within the Tibetan cultural world. Myths and legends, material conditions, textual sources, a modern pilgrim's impressions, political and economic influences, biographies and contemporary developments - all these and many other issues are examined here. The result is an informative and often entertaining work which contributes greatly to our knowledge of the history and culture of Tibet as well as the wider issues of religious power and practice.\",\"image\":\"https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347608031i/836615.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:39:50.351Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4151,\"isbn\":\"9780722533758\",\"authors\":\"Keith Dowman\",\"title\":\"The Sacred Life of Tibet\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Thorsons\",\"pages\":\"324\",\"year\":\"1997\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"Provides excellent insight into both ancient and modern Tibet.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=d3YKAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:39:49.721Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4150,\"isbn\":\"9780809129423\",\"authors\":\"Kenneth Kramer\",\"title\":\"The Sacred Art of Dying: How the World Religions Understand Death\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Paulist Press\",\"pages\":\"226\",\"year\":\"1988\",\"categories\":\"Death & Re-birth\",\"description\":\"This novel, cross-disciplinary collection explains how dying, death, and grieving have changed in America, for better or worse, since the turn of the millennium. What does dying with dignity mean in a diverse society with rapidly advancing technology, an aging population, and finite resources? In this fascinating collection, scholars from across the nation illuminate the remarkable changes that have taken place in recent years, are now underway, and loom on the horizon as they lead readers on an exploration of the ways Americans think about and handle dying and death. Volume 1, New Paths of Engagement, addresses changes in the circumstances and expressions of death, dying, and grief in 21st-century America. Volume 2, New Venues in the Search for Dignity and Grace, delves into the challenges inherent in creating a medical and social system that allows for an optimal end-of-life experience for all and proposes ways in which society can be reshaped to move toward that ideal.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41xwDQxOUzL._SY445_SX342_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:39:49.201Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4147,\"isbn\":\"9788772843261\",\"authors\":\"Eva M Dargyay\",\"title\":\"The rise of esoteric Buddhism in Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Samuel Weiser\",\"pages\":\"272\",\"year\":\"1977\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"The study exhibits and analyses the tradition of the Old School of Tibetan Buddhism.

Tibet\",\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":\"318\",\"year\":\"2006\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"This compelling study of the Ri-me movement and of the major Buddhist lineages of Tibet is comprehensive and accessible. It includes an introduction to the history and philosophy of the Ri-me movement; a biography of the movement's leader, the meditation master and philosopher known as Jamg\u00F6n Kongtrul the Great; helpful summaries of the eight lineages' practice-and-study systems, which point out the different emphases of the schools; an explanation of the most hotly disputed concepts; and an overview of the old and new tantras.\\nJamg\u00F6n Kongtrul the Great (1813-1899) is a giant in Tibetan history, renowned for his scholarly and meditative achievements, but also for his energetic yet evenhanded work to unify and strengthen the different lineages of Buddhism. The Ri-me movement, led by Kongtrul and several other leading scholars of the time, was a unifying effort to cut through interscholastic divisions and disputes that were occurring between the different lineages. These leaders sought appreciation of the differences and acknowledgment of the importance of variety in benefiting practitioners with different needs. The Ri-me teachers also took great care that the teachings and practices of the different schools and lineages, and their unique styles, did not become confused with one another. This lucid survey of the Ri-me movement will be of interest to serious scholars and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LE5nh1IlL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:39:47.202Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4145,\"isbn\":\"9780700715664\",\"authors\":\"Gay Watson\",\"title\":\"The Resonance of Emptiness\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"A Buddhist Inspiration for Contemporary Psychotherapy\",\"publisher\":\"RoutledgeCurzon\",\"pages\":\"317\",\"year\":\"2002\",\"categories\":\"Psychology\",\"description\":\"This book presents an exploration of Buddhist philosophy and practice as a potential resource for an approach to psycho-therapy which is responsive to the needs of its time and context, and attempts to open up a three-way dialogue between Buddhism, psychotherapy and contemporary discourse to reveal a meaningful theory and practive for a contemporary psychotherapy. This book raises the question of what it is in Buddhism itself that provides such a rich resource for psychotherapy. Gay Watson firmly places her exploration of these themes within the context of contempoorary life and thought, as a response to the pathologies, physical and intellectual, of our time. Organized according to the traditional Tibetan plan of Ground, Path and Fruition, the book first presents a brief survey of Western psychotherapies followed by an introduction to Buddhist views, with particular reference to those most relevant to psychotherapy. Path considers the two major branches of the Buddhist way, ethics and meditation, in the context of contemporary life and psychotherapy. Fruition compares the goal of Buddhism and psychotherapy and subsequently explores the implications of adopting Buddhist influence in the light of contemporary discourse and of the experienced domains of body, speech and mind. Finally, the lineaments of a contemporary Buddhist-inspired psychotherapy are suggested. The book will be of great interest to those concerned with the translation of Buddhism into contemporary life and also to students of psychotherapy and its expansion, particularly into spiritual and transpersonal dimensions.\",\"image\":\"data:image/jpeg;base64,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

Over a hundred of these profound songs are found in this collection of the works of the great teachers of the Kagy\u00FC lineage, known as the Practice Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Many readers are already familiar with the colorful life of the yogin Milarepa, an early figure in the Kagy\u00FC lineage, some of whose songs are included here. Songs by over thirty other Buddhist teachers are also presented, from those of Tilopa, the father of the lineage, to those of the Sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa, as well as several songs by Ch\u00F6gyam Trungpa, the noted teacher of Buddhism in America who directed the translation of The Rain of Wisdom. The diversity of the songs mirrors the richness of Tibetan Buddhism and gives us clear portraits of some of its most eminent teachers. Their longing for truth, their heartfelt devotion, and their sense of humor are all reflected. These poems share a beauty and intensity that have made them famous in Tibetan literature. With its vivid imagery and deep insight, The Rain of Wisdom communicates a profound and timeless understanding.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vW37khP-L._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:39:44.321Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4141,\"isbn\":\"140226214\",\"authors\":\"Ornstein, Robert E.\",\"title\":\"The Psychology of Consciousness, 2nd Revised Edition\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Penguin Books\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1986\",\"categories\":\"Women in Buddhism\",\"description\":\"Provides the essential foundation for psychology students, this is a revised and updated version of the most trusted introduction written by the bestselling psychology author Richard Gross.

The few such works on Buddhism have been quite limited in scope. In The Power of Denial, Bernard Faure takes an important step toward redressing this situation by boldly asking: does Buddhism offer women liberation or limitation? Continuing the innovative exploration of sexuality in Buddhism he began in The Red Thread, here he moves from his earlier focus on male monastic sexuality to Buddhist conceptions of women and constructions of gender. Faure argues that Buddhism is neither as sexist nor as egalitarian as is usually thought. Above all, he asserts, the study of Buddhism through the gender lens leads us to question what we uncritically call Buddhism, in the singular. Faure challenges the conventional view that the history of women in Buddhism is a linear narrative of progress from oppression to liberation. Examining Buddhist discourse on gender in traditions such as that of Japan, he shows that patriarchy--indeed, misogyny--has long been central to Buddhism. But women were not always silent, passive victims. Faure points to the central role not only of nuns and mothers (and wives) of monks but of female mediums and courtesans, whose colorful relations with Buddhist monks he considers in particular. Ultimately, Faure concludes that while Buddhism is, in practice, relentlessly misogynist, as far as misogynist discourses go it is one of the most flexible and open to contradiction. And, he suggests, unyielding in-depth examination can help revitalize Buddhism's deeper, more ancient egalitarianism and thus subvert its existing gender hierarchy. This groundbreaking book offers a fresh, comprehensive understanding of what Buddhism has to say about gender, and of what this really says about Buddhism, singular or plural.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=HidpRwrmx4AC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:39:36.707Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4127,\"isbn\":\"1855384515\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

Au carrefour de la philosophie, de la psychologie, des neurosciences, de l'\u00E9conomie, de l'\u00E9cologie, ce livre est la somme d'ann\u00E9es de recherches, de rencontres, d'exp\u00E9riences, d'observations et de r\u00E9flexion.

others.\",\"image\":\"data:image/jpeg;base64,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

This book highlights the distinctive Tibetan approach to creating mandalas, exploring how it crossed over from India into Tibet, and how continuous exchanges of art and ideas between the two cultures, led by monks and spiritual teachers, gave rise to a uniquely Tibetan style of Buddhist imagery. Featuring more than one hundred paintings, sculptures, and ritual objects, this superbly illustrated volume reflects the dazzling complexities of the Tibetan imagery that has provided a foundation for mandalas through the centuries. Most notably, a mesmerizing installation by the Tibetan American artist Tenzing Rigdol (b. 1982), specially created for the accompanying exhibition and published here for the first time, offers contemporary audiences a way of interrogating and understanding their world and underscores how this ancient tradition remains a vibrant living practice.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=SmUiEQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:39:15.573Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4096,\"isbn\":\"9781739940201\",\"authors\":\"Rob Preece \",\"title\":\"The Mandala and Visions of Wholeness: Within Tibetan Buddhism and Jungian Psychology\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Mudra Publications\",\"pages\":\"133\",\"year\":\"2021\",\"categories\":\"Physchology\",\"description\":\"Carl Jung saw the mandala as an extremely significant archetype within the human psyche that expressed itself time and again in different cultures. The need within us to bring this archetype of wholeness into material expression is testament to the importance of its presence.

Robert Thurman is one such teacher. Now, in his first experiential course on the essentials of Tibetan Buddhism, adapted and expanded from a popular retreat he led, Thurman -- the first Westerner ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself -- shares the centuries-old wisdom of a highly valued method used by the great Tibetan masters. Using a revered, once-secret text of a seventeenth-century Tibetan master, along with a thorough explanation for contemporary Westerners, The Jewel Tree of Tibet immerses you fully in the mysteries of Tibetan spiritual wisdom. A retreat in book form as well as a spiritual and philosophical teaching, it offers a practical system of understanding yourself and the world, of developing your learning and thought processes, and of gaining deep, transforming insight. Tibetans think of their cherished tradition of Buddhism as a \\\"wish-fulfilling jewel tree\\\" for its power to generate bliss and enlightenment within all who absorb its teachings. Happiness, in fact, is the true goal of Tibetan spirituality, and the wish-fulfilling jewel tree will put you on the road to that reachable goal. This beautiful jewel-tree imagery, which acts like a mandala or a yoga pose to focus your attention on truths larger than yourself, will help you break through worn-out ideas and habits, strengthen positive abilities, develop more energy and creativity, and change your life -- and future -- for the better. As Thurman writes, \\\"Readers learn to cultivate the sensitivity and appreciation to love more fully, feel compassion more intensely, and become a fountain of cheerfulness for all they meet and know.\\\" Because the path to enlightenment requires more than sitting in meditation, The Jewel Tree of Tibet offers a rich, intellectually riveting course with many specific spiritual practices, including: eleven steps to create the spirit of enlightenment, here and now; the truths and stories of the ancient Indian and Tibetan sages; and guided meditations to experience the blessings of the wish-fulfilling jewel tree. You can do these practices with others or on your own, while living your daily life. And as you travel this road to deeper self-realization, self-understanding, and infectious happiness, you will also learn how the principles of Tibetan Tantra can open the doors to \\\"infinite compassion and continuity,\\\" and how to discover states of consciousness that transcend even death. One of the most explicit teachings of the steps to the path of enlightenment available, explained by a skilled Western teacher, The Jewel Tree of Tibet will enable you to honor the full subtlety and hidden depths of the Tibetan Buddhist path and realize at last its deeper mysteries and rewards -- for yourself and others.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=lDTjiWBaeqMC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:50.481Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4056,\"isbn\":\"9788185102764\",\"authors\":\"Minling Terchen Gyurmed Dorjee\",\"title\":\"The Jewel Ladder: A Prelimanary Nyingma Lamrim\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Library of Tibetan Works and Archives\",\"pages\":\"236\",\"year\":\"1990\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"The Jewel Ladder (Rin-chen them-skas) is a short and comprehensive Nyingma Lamrim for beginners by Minling Terchen Gyurme Dorjee (1643\u20131714), commonly known as Terdak Lingpa, one of the foremost early master-scholars of Tibet, who was both a teacher and disciple of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama.\\n\\nThe text introduces us to the preliminaries of the Buddhist practice required for higher spiritual development such as the four basic ways of concentrating one's mind on the Dharma and the Four Noble Truths.\\n\\nThis commentary by Khamtrul Rinpoche given in simple and lucid language unravels the gist of the Rin-chen them-skas.

The earliest Buddhist art of Sanchi and Bharhut is aniconic : The Buddha is represented in symbols only. In the later Buddhist art of Gandhara and Mathura, the Buddha is represented in human form: he is the principal subject of sculptural art. The book seeks to explore the geographical area in which the image of the Buddha first emerged and whether the Buddhist doctrines-Hinayana or Mahayana-had anything to do with this transformation. The Buddha image, as developed eventually at Sarnath, became the model for the Buddha images in whole of Asia, south-east, central and eastern Asia. The iconographic features of the Buddha image are superficially an aberration, being in apparent conflict with the doctrine. The Buddha had cut off his hair at the time of his renunciation; the rules of the order enjoin that a monk must be tonsured and must discard and eschew all riches. However, in his images, the Buddha has hair on his head; later he is also endowed with a crown and jewels. After an exhaustive examination of the views of various scholars, the book answers these questions and resolves the controversies on the basis of literary, numismatic and epigraphic sources. More importantly it makes use of the valuable evidence from the contemporaneous Jaina art : Aniconism of early Jaina art and the iconographic features of Jaina images. The implications of this study are also important : Does India owe idolatry to Buddhism? Was this of foreign inspiration? Was the Buddha image fashioned after the Vedic Brahma and whether the Buddha's usnisa and Buddhist art motifs are rooted in the Vedic tradition? The book is profusely illustrated and provides rich and stimulating fare to students of Indian art in general and of Buddhist art in particular.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=kDyJh--iaL0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:47.702Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4052,\"isbn\":\"1841810002\",\"authors\":\"Gill Farrer-Halls\",\"title\":\"The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Buddhist Wisdom\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Octopus Publishing Group\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2022\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"For more than 30 years, Yoga Journal has been helping readers achieve the balance and well-being they seek in their everyday lives.

Press\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1988\",\"categories\":\"Philosophy\",\"description\":\"In arriving at the heart of Buddhist philosophy, Nolan Pliny Jacobson attempts to eliminate some of the confusion in the West (and perhaps in the East as well) concerning the Buddhist view of what is concrete and ultimately real in the world. Jacobson presents N\u0101g\u0101rjuna, the Plato of the Buddhist tradition, as the major exemplar of the Buddhist expression of life. In his comparison of Buddhism and Western theology, Jacobson demonstrates that some efforts in Western religious thought approach the Buddhist empirical stance.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=K2j9nlk2kTkC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:38.715Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4037,\"isbn\":\"1611800803\",\"authors\":\"Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje\",\"title\":\"The Heart Is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2014\",\"categories\":\"Meditation\",\"description\":\"If you are inspired to take up his challenge, the Karmapa offers a path for participating in a global community that is based on compassion. In these chapters, he shares his vision for bringing social action into daily life, on a scale we can realistically manage through the choices we make every day\u2014what to buy, what to eat, and how to relate honestly and bravely with our friends and family and coworkers. His fresh and encouraging perspective shows us that we have the strength to live with kindness in the midst of the many challenges we face as socially and environmentally conscious beings. Because he sees the world through the lens of the interdependence of all beings, he sees that humans can change social and environmental problems by changing their attitudes and actions. And so, he shows ways that we can change our world by changing ourselves\u2014by examining our own habits of consumption and by being willing to look into how our food reaches our table and how the products we buy are made. In his chapter on gender, he points out that we don\u2019t have to label others according to a social construct. If his viewpoint seems optimistic, it is\u2014and it\u2019s also demanding. The Karmapa calls on us to open our mind and heart to the innumerable connections we share with others\u2014in our families, communities, social systems, and on our planet. Thanks to the depth of his spiritual training, and the breadth of his curiosity about the world and his love for it, he presents a relevant framework for understanding what it means to be human now\u2014and why it\u2019s imperative that we concern ourselves with the well-being of all others. He points to a world we can create through our own effort, using a resource we already have in abundance\u2014the basic nobility of our human heart.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=OQDEAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:38.090Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4036,\"isbn\":\"9780140195507\",\"authors\":\"Tulku Thondup\",\"title\":\"The Healing Power of Mind\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Meditation for Well-Being and Enlightenment\",\"publisher\":\"Penguin Books\",\"pages\":\"207\",\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"The true nature of our minds is enlightened and peaceful, as the depth of the ocean is calm and clear. But when we mentally grasp and emotionally cling to our wants and worries with all our energy, we lose our own enlightened freedom and healing power, only to gain stress and exhaustion, suffering and overexcitement, like the turbulent waves rolling on the surface of the ocean.\\nOur minds possess the power to heal pain and stress, and to blossom into peace and joy, by loosening the clinging attitudes that Buddhists call \\\"grasping at self.\\\" If we apply the mind's healing power, we can heal not only our mental and emotional afflictions, but physical problems also.\\nThis book is an invitation to awaken the healing power of mind through inspiring images and sounds, mindful movements, positive perceptions, soothing feelings, trusting confidence, and the realization of openness. The healing principle on which these exercises are based is the universal nature and omnipresent power envisioned in Mahayana Buddhism. Yet for healing, we don't have to be believers in any particular faith.

Beginning with stories of people who have recovered from disease through meditation, Rinpoche addresses the central role played by karma and by the mental habit of \\\"labeling\\\" in causing illness, and shows how meditation and other thought techniques for developing compassion and insight can eliminate the ultimate cause of all disease. Ultimate Healing shows us that by transforming our minds, especially through the development of compassion, we can eliminate the ultimate cause of all disease.

Redwood French\",\"title\":\"The Golden Yoke: The Legal Cosmology of Buddhist Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"NCROL\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"The Golden Yoke is a remarkable achievement. It is the first elaboration of the legal, cultural, and ideological dimensions of precommunist Tibetan jurisprudence, a unique legal system that maintains its secularism within a thoroughly Buddhist setting. Layer by layer, Rebecca Redwood French reconstructs the daily operation of law in Tibet before the Chinese invasion in 1959. In the Tibetans' own words, French identifies their courts, symbols, and personnel and traces the procedures for petitioning and filing documents. There are stories here from judges, legal conciliators, and lay people about murder, property disputes, and divorce. French shows that Tibetan law is deeply embedded in its Buddhist culture and that the system evolved not from the rules and judgments but from what people actually do and say. In what amounts to a fully developed cosmology, she describes the cultural foundation that informs the system: myths, notions of time and conflux, inner morality, language patterns, rituals, use of space, symbols, and concepts. Based on extensive readings of Tibetan legal documents and codes, interviews with Tibetan scholars, and the reminiscences of Tibetans at home and in exile, this generously illustrated, elegantly written work is a model of outstanding research. French combines the talents of a legal anthropologist with those of a former law practitioner to develop a new field of study that has implications for other judicial systems, including our own.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=YxSbDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:30.159Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4022,\"isbn\":\"9788617106148\",\"authors\":\"HH XIV Dalai Lama\",\"title\":\"The Global Community and the Need for Universal Responsibility\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":\"22\",\"year\":\"1992\",\"categories\":\"Dalai Lama\",\"description\":\"His Holiness the Dalai Lama is admired and respected world-wide as a man of peace. As spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, he has consistently championed policies of non-violence, even in the face of great aggression-an approach that in1989 won him the Nobel Peace Prize. In lectures and tours around the world he has touched the hearts of people of different cultures and religions with the simplicity, profundity and universality of his message -that of greater understanding, mutual respect and compassion amongst the nations and people of this world. In this booklet, His Holiness offers a way of approaching the new political challenges of our rapidly changing world based on a genuine feeling of global and universal responsibility. His statement also affords insight into the way of thinking of one of today\u2019s truly great world leaders.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=HKQaEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:29.574Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":4020,\"isbn\":\"1559392290\",\"authors\":\"Gyatrul Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"The Generation Stage in Buddhist Tantra\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2005\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"This book offers an exceptionally clear and accessible presentation of the generation stage practices of deity yoga.

In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha responds to a disciple's question about how to become a Buddha. The Diamond that Cuts Through Illusion presents a dialogue between the Buddha and his disciple, Subhuti, which illuminates how our minds construct limited categories of thought. The answer: we must move beyond personal enlightenment to follow the path of the Bodhisattvas, fully enlightened beings who postpone Nirvana in order to alleviate the suffering of others. It offers us alternative ways to look at the world in its wholeness so we can encounter a deeper reality; develop reverence for the environment and more harmonious communities, families, and relationships; and act in the world skillfully and effectively. This revised edition includes Thich Nhat Hanh\u2019s translation of the Sutra from the Chinese and, in his commentaries, his own diamond sharp insight, including new work on the environmental implications of the Diamond Sutra.

It is known as the Diamond Sutra because its teachings are said to be like diamonds that cut away all dualistic thought, releasing one from the attachment to objects and bringing one to the further shore of enlightenment. The format of this important sutra is presented as a conversation between the Buddha and one of his disciples. The Sutra of Hui-neng, also known as the Platform Sutra, contains the autobiography of a pivotal figure in Zen history and some of the most profound passages of Zen literature. Hui-neng (638 713) was the sixth patriarch of Zen in China, but is often regarded as the true father of the Zen tradition. He was a poor, illiterate woodcutter who is said to have attained enlightenment upon hearing a recitation of the Diamond Sutra. Together, these two scriptures present the central teaching of the Zen Buddhist tradition and are essential reading for all students of Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wBFX0418L._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:07.933Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3982,\"isbn\":\"671215264\",\"authors\":\"Janice Dean Willis\",\"title\":\"The Diamond Light: An introduction to Tibetan Buddhist Meditations\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Touchstone\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1973\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"The Kalachakra, or \\\"Wheel of Time,\\\" is one of the most profound and sublime of the Buddhist tantric systems. It is an intricate interweaving of astrology, eschatology, physiology, and yoga into a meditational path system that embraces the entire material universe and leads to complete, perfect enlightenment. The Kalachakra, with its special connection to the land of Shambhala and a future golden age of Dharma, has a special appeal for people of all levels of learning and practice. Initiation into its practices traditionally have been large public events, especially when granted by the Dalai Lama. Initiation into the Kalachakra Tantra has been given with increasing frequency in recent years, but information on this complex system and practice remains sparse. The Wheel of Time attempts in part to fill the gap. The book opens with a Foreword by His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Then the five articles discuss, respectively, the Buddhist background, history, initiation rites, generation stage sadhana, and completion stage practices of the Kalachakra Tantra.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=nttOEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:07.392Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3981,\"isbn\":\"385497903\",\"authors\":\"Roach, Geshe Michael\",\"title\":\"The Diamond Cutter: The Buddha on Strategies for Managing Your Business and Your Life\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Doubleday\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2000\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"Recommended reading for elite CEOs and top performers, Aret\u00E9 delivers fast, actionable wisdom in quick, accessible micro-chapters designed for busy professionals, athletes, and anyone seeking measurable personal growth.

It presents Buddhist doctrine in a very attractive and memorable form as a dialogue between a Bactrian Greek king, Milinda, who plays the `Devil`s Advocate` and a Buddhist sage, Nagasena. The topics covered include most of those questions commonly asked by Westerners such as If there is no soul, what is it that is reborn? and If there is no soul, who is talking to you now? This abridgement provides a concise presentation of this master-piece of Buddhist literature.This abridgement provides a concise presentation of this masterpiece of Buddhist literature. The introduction outlines the historical background against which the dialogues took place, indicating the meeting of two great cultures--that of ancient Greece and the Buddhism of the Indus valley which was a legacy of the great Emperor Asoka. It is hoped that the adequate references, glossary, index and list of Pali quotations will provide readers with an incentive to read further from the translations of the Pali

In one taxi was a fourteen-year-old boy, the 17th Karmapa, one of the most important figures in Tibetan Buddhism. The boy's arrival in Dharamsala was the culmination of an extraordinary escape which had brought him 900 miles across the Himalayas, in conditions of high danger, from the monastery in Tibet where he had lived since he was seven years old. Fascinated by this charismatic young figure, Mick Brown travelled to Dharamsala to meet him, and found himself drawn into the labyrinthine - not to say surreal - web of intrigue surrounding the 17th Karmapa's recognition and young life.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=I55R-hGfcosC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:00.662Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3973,\"isbn\":\"8174360859\",\"authors\":\"Thubten Samphel-Tendar\",\"title\":\"The Dalai Lamas of Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Lustre Press\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2022\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"Of sizeable contemporary interest and interspersed with rare archival photographs, this book is an empathetic look at the spiritual influence that continues to guide Tibetans today.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=6OEKAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:38:00.129Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3972,\"isbn\":\"2000\",\"authors\":\"\\\"Baker, Ian\",\"title\":\"The Dalai Lama's Secret Temple: Tantric Wall Paintings from Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"Thames & Hudson\",\"categories\":\"\",\"description\":\"Le Lukhang - temple des esprits serpents - \u00E9merge d'un bosquet de saules, an milieu d'un lac situ\u00E9 derri\u00E8re le palais du Potala \u00E0 Lhassa, la capitale du Tibet.

Reminding us of the power of compassion and meditation, he shares his thoughts about science and its relation to the spiritual life, and how we can still retain the simple values of love and courage in spite of the fact that the world is changing so fast. he also points out the interdependence between an action and its result so that we never forget the responsibility that lies in each of our deeds. Wise, humane and inspiring, these words will bring daily solace to all with their message of hope and their deep yet easily understandable philosophy of kindness and non-violence.\",\"image\":\"https://archive.org/services/img/dalailamasbookof0000bsta_q5f7\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:58.453Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3969,\"isbn\":\"9781559390224\",\"authors\":\"\",\"title\":\"The Dalai Lama: A Policy of Kindness - An Anthology of Writings By and About The Dalai Lama\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion Pubns\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1993\",\"categories\":\"Dalai Lama\",\"description\":\"Brought me gently and pleasantly into the life and mind of this extraordinary spiritual leader and assured the success of my interview with him.--Bill Moyers, PBS\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=p8MlAQAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:57.933Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3968,\"isbn\":\"9780044402725\",\"authors\":\"Claude B.

Devotees of the K\u012Bla deity, merging body, speech and mind within the sacred ma\u1E47\u1E0Dala of this glorious vision, experience a spiritual ecstasy equated with the higher siddhi, a profound knowledge utterly free of propositional content, and become imbued with a confident sense of well-being as an indication of having banished the evil hordes of Mara beyond the confines of the world.\\n\\nThe currently available collections of Byang-gter phur-pa texts at the heart of the present study together comprise a total of over 250 separate titles, including root tantra, rites of initiation and empowerment, profound meditations on the nature of enlightenment, rules for the invocation of the system protectors, wrathful ritual activities against enemies and longevity rites for the benefit of the yogin and his sponsors. All of these topics, and more, are put into context within the pages of this book so that the reader is presented with a comprehensive gathering of the essential elements of the cult of the deity Vajrak\u012Bla in the illustrious tradition of the Northern Treasures.\",\"image\":\"https://www.kosho.or.jp/upload/save_image/32010490/20210909105417085385_c327380ef52dd52df6a0b8ae72eca9dc.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:56.761Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3966,\"isbn\":\"9789321560370\",\"authors\":\"Herbert Guenther\",\"title\":\"The Creative Vision\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"The Symbolic Recreation of the World According to the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition of Tantric Visualization Otherwise Known As the Developing Phase \",\"publisher\":\"Lotsawa\",\"pages\":\"178\",\"year\":\"1987\",\"categories\":\"Tantra\",\"description\":\"In Tibetan Buddhism, the \\\"creative vision\\\" is the practice of symbolically re-creating reality through vivid mental visualization.

Both ambitious and timely, The Couch and the Tree is a two-part anthology that spans and documents a unique cross-fertilization of Eastern and Western thought.

The Samyutta Nikaya consists of fifty-six chapters, each governed by a unifying theme that binds together the Buddha's suttas or discourses. The chapters are organized into five major parts.\\nThe first, The Book with Verses, is a compilation of suttas composed largely in verse. This book ranks as one of the most inspiring compilations in the Buddhist canon, showing the Buddha in his full grandeur as the peerless teacher of gods and humans. The other four books deal in depth with the philosophical principles and meditative structures of early Buddhism. They combine into orderly chapters all the important short discourses of the Buddha on such major topics as dependent origination, the five aggregates, the six sense bases, the seven factors of enlightenment, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the Four Noble Truths.\\nAmong the four large Nikayas belonging to the Pali Canon, the Samyutta Nikaya serves as the repository for the many shorter suttas of the Buddha where he discloses his radical insights into the nature of reality and his unique path to spiritual emancipation. This collection, it seems, was directed mainly at those disciples who were capable of grasping the deepest dimensions of wisdom and of clarifying them for others, and also provided guidance to meditators intent on consummating their efforts with the direct realization of the ultimate truth.\\nThe present work begins with an insightful general introduction to the Samyutta Nikaya as a whole. Each of the five parts is also provided with its own introduction, intended to guide the reader through this vast, ocean-like collection of suttas.\\nTo further assist the reader, the translator has provided an extensive body of notes clarifying various problems concerning both the language and the meaning of the texts.\\nDistinguished by its lucidity and technical precision, this new translation makes this ancient collection of the Buddha's discourses accessible and comprehensible to the thoughtful reader of today. Like its two predecessors in this series,\\nThe Connected Discourses of the Buddha is sure to merit a place of honour in the library of every serious student of Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EHb0sas7L._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:54.998Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3963,\"isbn\":\"9780791445761\",\"authors\":\"Brassard, Francis\",\"title\":\"The Concept of Bodhicitta in Santideva's Bodhicaryavatara (SUNY Series, McGill Studies in the History of Religions, A Series Devoted to International Scholarship)\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"State University of New York Press\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2000\",\"categories\":\"Bodhicitta\",\"description\":\"An examination of bodhicitta, a key concept in Mahauyauna Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=OlNd0md79b0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:54.530Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3962,\"isbn\":\"9788120809116\",\"authors\":\"G.W.

For the first time in any Western language Garma Chang explains and exemplifies these doctrines with references to both oriental masters and Western philosophers. The Buddha's mystical experience of infinity and totality provides the framework for this objective revelation of the three pervasive and interlocking concepts upon which any study of Mahayana philosophy must depend. Following an introductory section describing the essential differences between Judeo-Christian and Buddhist philosophy, Professor Chang provides an extensive, expertly developed section on the philosophical foundations of Hwa Yen Buddhism dealing with the core concept of True Voidness, the philosophy of Totality, and the doctrine of Mind-Only. A concluding section includes selections of Hwa Yen readings and biographies of the patriarchs, as well as a glossary and list of Chinese terms.\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/inventory/32196035926.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:51.372Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3957,\"isbn\":\"9783892026655\",\"authors\":\"Alexander Piatigorsky\",\"title\":\"The Buddhist Philosophy of Thought\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Rl Innactive Titles\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1984\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"To learn more about Rowman & Littlefield titles please visit us at www.rowmanlittlefield.com.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/11Dp1OUnIgL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:50.579Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3956,\"isbn\":\"42940877\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

An astrologer offers to produce Sandy's chart, including the date of her death; a stone carver shows her the rocks with prayers painted on them that he places in the river at the end of every day so that the water may carry blessings to everything it touches; Johnson meets a woman of indeterminate age who lives her life in a cave praying that people might be less distracted by material things and learn to care for each other again. At the same time, Johnson herself is on a spiritual quest, and interwoven with the stories of the elders comes her own physical healing as well as a long-awaited reconciliation with her family.

Although it no longer exists as an independent school, Kadam's teachings were incorporated into the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism and are still prized today for their unique practical application of the bodhisattva's altruistic ideal in everyday life. One of the most cherished teachings stemming from Atisa and Dromtonpa is the collection of esoteric oral transmissions enshrined in The Book of Kadam. This volume includes the core texts of the Book of Kadam, notably the twenty-three-chapter dialogue between Atisa and Dromtonpa that is woven around Atisa's Bodhisattva's Jewel Garland, as well as complementary texts that illuminate the history and practices of the Kadam tradition.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=aC8qAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:41.511Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3940,\"isbn\":\"1559391502\",\"authors\":\"Geshe Sonam Rinchen\",\"title\":\"The Bodhisattva Vow\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2000\",\"categories\":\"Tantra\",\"description\":\"Before the Dalai Lama bestows the Bodhisattva vow, he often teaches the short text known as the Twenty Verses on the Bodhisattva Vow by the Indian master Chandragomin.

One of the recovered Zen texts was a seven-piece collection, the Bodhidharma Anthology. Of the numerous texts attributed to Bodhidharma, this anthology is the only one generally believed to contain authentic Bodhidharma material. Jeffrey L. Broughton provides a reliable annotated translation of the Bodhidharma Anthology along with a detailed study of its nature, content, and background. His work is especially important for its rendering of the three Records, which contain some of the earliest Zen dialogues and constitute the real beginnings of Zen literature. The vivid dialogues and sayings of Master Yuan, a long-forgotten member of the Bodhidharma circle, are the hallmark of the Records. Master Yuan consistently criticizes reliance on the Dharma, on teachers, on meditative practice, and on scripture, all of which lead to self-deception and confusion, he says. According to Master Yuan, if one has spirit and does not seek anything, including the teachings of Buddhism, then one will attain the quietude of liberation. The boldness in Yuan's utterances prefigures much of the full-blown Zen tradition we recognize today. Broughton utilizes a Tibetan translation of the Bodhidharma Anthology as an informative gloss on the Chinese original. Placing the anthology within the context of the Tun-huang Zen manuscripts as a whole, he proposes a new approach to the study of Zen, one that concentrates on literary history, a genealogy of texts rather than the usual genealogy of masters. In the early part of this century, the discovery of a walled-up cave in northwest China led to the retrieval of a lost early Ch'an (Zen) literature of the T'ang dynasty (618-907).

The first night, nothing happened. The second night, at about one or two in the morning, a tiger came--which meant that I didn't get any sleep the whole night. I sat in meditation, scared stiff, while the tiger walked around and around my umbrella tent (klot). My body felt all frozen and numb. I started chanting, and the words came out like running water. All the old chants I had forgotten now came back to me, thanks both to my fear and to my ability to keep my mind under control. I sat like this from 2 until 5 a.m., when the tiger finally left.\\\" --A forest monk During the first half of this century the forests of Thailand were home to wandering ascetic monks. They were Buddhists, but their brand of Buddhism did not copy the practices described in ancient doctrinal texts. Their Buddhism found expression in living day-to-day in the forest and in contending with the mental and physical challenges of hunger, pain, fear, and desire. Combining interviews and biographies with an exhaustive knowledge of archival materials and a wide reading of ephemeral popular literature, Kamala Tiyavanich documents the monastic lives of three generations of forest-dwelling ascetics and challenges the stereotype of state-centric Thai Buddhism. Although the tradition of wandering forest ascetics has disappeared, a victim of Thailand's relentless modernization and rampant deforestation, the lives of the monks presented here are a testament to the rich diversity of regional Buddhist traditions.

A collection of poetic re-tellings distilled from ancient oral tradition, the stories have been specially chosen by Lama Lhakpa Yeshe because they demonstrate a beautiful wisdom in a simple, yet profound way, and teach us how to nurture the singular human quality that defines us all. Introduced by global peace and environment campaigner, Satish Kumar, a pupil of Lama Lhakpa Yeshe, and illustrated with photography by fellow Buddhist Matthieu Ricard, this is a beautifully crafted book and unique guide to opening our hearts and minds by cultivating compassion--helping others and ourselves--to find joy, peace, and happiness.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=YeNuAQAACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:26.031Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3918,\"isbn\":\"9780834800670\",\"authors\":\"Elizabeth Wray, Clare Rosenfield, Dorothy Bailey\",\"title\":\"Ten Lives of the Buddha: Siamese Temple Painting and Jataka Tales\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Weatherhill\",\"pages\":\"154\",\"year\":\"1972\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"The Jataka Tales or \\\"birth stories\\\" are an ancient compendium of legends concerning some 550 previous incarnations of the Buddha.

Since 1959, when China claimed power over this tiny mountain nation, more than one million Tibetans are believed to have perished by starvation, execution, imprisonment, and abortive uprisings. Many thousands more, including their spiritual and political leader, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, have been driven into exile. The country has been systematically colonized, so that indigenous inhabitants are now a second-class minority. Not only are Tibetans being squeezed out by Chinese settlers, but there are reports of Tibetan women being forcibly sterilized and of healthy full-term babies being killed at birth. Thousands of Tibetans languish in prison and suffer appalling torture. Rich mineral resources have been plundered and the delicate ecosystem devastated. Buddhism, the life blood of Tibet, has been ruthlessly suppressed. Mary Craig tells the story of Tibet with candor and power. Based upon extensive research and interviews with large numbers of refugees now living in exile in India, this book presents four decades of religious persecution, environmental devastation, and human atrocities that have caused Tibetans to weep tears of blood.\",\"image\":\"https://archive.org/services/img/tearsofbloodcryf0000crai_i6c1\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:25.000Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3916,\"isbn\":\"9780861817337\",\"authors\":\"Lama Thubten Yeshe\",\"title\":\"Teachings of Lama Thubten Yeshe\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":\"159\",\"year\":\"1997\",\"categories\":\"Lama Yeshe\",\"description\":\"Three teachings by Lama Thubten Yeshe\",\"image\":\"https://imgs.search.brave.com/FMa8wrsy-AUA_8TLv7mUZrZ7F-WEEiiYgDmbBRv_joI/rs:fit:500:0:1:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9waWN0/dXJlcy5hYmVib29r/cy5jb20vaXNibi85/NzgwODYxNzEyNTg4/LXVzLTMwMC5qcGc\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:24.376Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3915,\"isbn\":\"940666006\",\"authors\":\"\",\"title\":\"Teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama: The Dalai Lama's Historic Visit to North America: Teachings in the United States and Canada by His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Clear Light Publications, Inc.\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1981\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=t-EKAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:23.482Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3914,\"isbn\":\"9781891868153\",\"authors\":\" H.H The XIV Dalai Lama, Kyabje Ling Rinpoche, Trijang Rinpoche Khunu Lama Rinpoche, Tsenshab Serkong Rinpoche, Zong Rinpoche & More, Edited by Nicholas Ribush\",\"title\":\"Teachings From Tibet: Guidance from Great Lamas\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive\",\"pages\":\"247\",\"year\":\"2005\",\"categories\":\"Lama Yeshe\",\"description\":\"The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive (LYWA) is the collected works of Lama Thubten Yeshe and Kyabje Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.

From a review in BuddhaDharma magazine: Teachings From the Medicine Buddha Retreat is a nearly complete record of the teachings given by Lama Zopa Rinpoche during a twenty-five day Medicine Buddha retreat in the fall of 2001. The sections are short, on topics such as making offerings to the buddhas and the nature of mind. The retreat was held less than two months after the 9/11 attacks, and Lama Zopa's teachings are full of references to terrorism, war, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The book is not meant as a coherent presentation on any particular topic; however, one is rewarded by just opening it and reading anywhere. Lama Zopa is a clear and effective teacher, and his stories are endlessly entertaining and inspiring. This book is made possible by kind supporters of the Archive who, like you, appreciate how we make these teachings freely available in so many ways, including in our website for instant reading, listening or downloading, and as printed and electronic books.

While there are many books on Tara, this practical guide shows us how those of any tradition can directly access her, through clear instruction and authentic Tibetan Buddhist teachings. Jungian analyst, scholar, and spiritual practitioner Dr. Rachael Wooten combines the ancient Tara tradition with depth psychology to help us connect with each of Tara's manifestations and access her blessings within ourselves and in the external world. In her myriad forms, Tara has the power to protect us from inner and outer negativity, illuminate our self-sabotaging habits, cleanse mental and physical poisons, address emotional trauma, open us to abundance, give us strength and peace, help us fulfill our life purposes, and more. Here, you will explore all 22 manifestations of Tara. Each chapter begins with an epigraph that captures the spiritual and psychological essence of the emanation, explains her purpose, and teaches you specific visualizations, praises, mantra chants, and other ways of invoking her presence in yourself and the world. \\\"If ever the voice of wisdom and compassion was needed in the form of an awakened female figure such as Tara,\\\" writes Dr. Wooten, \\\"that time is now.\\\" This book illuminates the way to her healing, blessings, and aid.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=7FWzEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:17.962Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3904,\"isbn\":\"9789379381491\",\"authors\":\"Khetsun Sangpo Rinbochay, Translated by Jeffrey Hopkins\",\"title\":\"Tantric Practice in Nying-ma\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"239\",\"year\":\"1982\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"Rinpoche's commentary on the instructions on the \\\"Preliminaries to the Great Perfection Teaching\\\" contains the classical Nying-ma presentation of the Dzogchen preliminaries and practices that lead to Buddhahood.

Anticipating the many questions Westerners have upon first encountering tantra's colorful imagery and veiled language, Tantra uses straight talk to explain deities, initiations, mandalas, and the body's subtle physiology of channels and chakras. Tantric Buddhism provides a quick avenue to buddhahood by means of dissolving the body's wind energies into the central channel at the heart, mimicking the transformations of consciousness that occur at the time of death. Guiding readers systematically from tantra's generation stage through to the full enlightenment of the completion stage, Geshe Tashi Tsering even unpacks a simple compassion practice composed by the Dalai Lama, using it to illustrate the building blocks common to all such visualization techniques.

The subsequent chapters reflect the wide geographical and temporal scope of Tantra by examining thirty-six texts from China, India, Japan, Nepal, and Tibet, ranging from the seventh century to the present day, and representing the full range of Tantric experience--Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, and even Islamic. Each text has been chosen and translated, often for the first time, by an international expert in the field who also provides detailed background material. Students of Asian religions and general readers alike will find the book rich and informative. The book includes plays, transcribed interviews, poetry, parodies, inscriptions, instructional texts, scriptures, philosophical conjectures, dreams, and astronomical speculations, each text illustrating one of the diverse traditions and practices of Tantra. Thus, the nineteenth-century Indian Buddhist Garland of Gems, a series of songs, warns against the illusion of appearance by referring to bees, yogurt, and the fire of Malaya Mountain; while fourteenth-century Chinese Buddhist manuscripts detail how to prosper through the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper by burning incense, making offerings to scriptures, and chanting incantations. In a transcribed conversation, a modern Hindu priest in Bengal candidly explains how he serves the black Goddess Kali and feeds temple skulls lentils, wine, or rice; a seventeenth-century Nepalese Hindu praise-poem hammered into the golden doors to the temple of the Goddess Taleju lists a king's faults and begs her forgiveness and grace. An introduction accompanies each text, identifying its period and genre, discussing the history and influence of the work, and identifying points of particular interest or difficulty. The first book to bring together texts from the entire range of Tantric phenomena, Tantra in Practice continues the Princeton Readings in Religions series. The breadth of work included, geographic areas spanned, and expert scholarship highlighting each piece serve to expand our understanding of what it means to practice Tantra.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=3YZeDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:14.633Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3899,\"isbn\":\"9781559392211\",\"authors\":\"Thubten Chodron\",\"title\":\"Taming the Mind\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"217\",\"year\":\"2004\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"We all wish to gain greater understanding of ourselves.

Compiled in the second half of the fourth-century A.D., this sutra not only represents a comprehensive synthesis of both early and late religio-philosophical ideas crucial to the understanding of Buddhism in India, but it also provides an insight into the very early roots of the Japanese Zen Buddhism in the heart of the South Asian esotericism. The first part of the book outlines the three-fold nature of Being, as conceptualized in Buddhist metaphysics. The author uses an interpretive framework borrowed from the existentialist philosophy of Heidegger, in order to separate the transcendental Essence of Being from its Temporal manifestation as Self, and from its Spatial or Cosmic dimension. The second part clarifies the Buddhist approach to knowledge in its religious, transcendental sense and it shows that the Buddhists were actually first in making use of dialectical reasoning for the purpose of transcending the contradictory dualities imbedded in the common ways of perceiving, thinking, and arguing about reality.\",\"image\":\"https://indiaclub.com/cdn/shop/products/17489.jpg?v=1625569448\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:37:08.051Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3888,\"isbn\":\"9780861714810\",\"authors\":\"Geshe Lhundub Sopa, Lama Tsongkhapa, David Patt\",\"title\":\"Steps on the Path to Enlightenment Volume 2: Karma\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"A Commentary on Tsongkhapa's Lamrim Chenmo\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":\"494\",\"year\":\"2005\",\"categories\":\"Lamrim\",\"description\":\"This second volume of the five-volume commentary by the renowned Buddhist scholar Geshe Lhundub Sopa focuses on the key Buddhist concepts of karma, or cause and effect, and dependent origination.

For a Buddhist practitioner these same states present crucial opportunities to explore and transform consciousness itself. This book is the account of a historic dialogue between leading Western scientists and the Dalai Lama of Tibet. Revolving around three key moments of consciousness--sleep, dreams, and death--the conversations recorded here are both engrossing and highly readable. Whether the topic is lucid dreaming, near-death experiences, or the very structure of consciousness itself, the reader is continually surprised and delighted.\\n\\nNarrated by Francisco Varela, an internationally recognized neuroscientist, the book begins with insightful remarks on the notion of personal identity by noted philosopher Charles Taylor, author of the acclaimed Sources of Self. This sets the stage for Dr. Jerome Engel, Dr. Joyce MacDougal, and others to engage in extraordinary exchanges with the Dalai Lama on topics ranging from the neurology of sleep to the yoga of dreams.\\n\\nRemarkable convergences between the Western scientific tradition and the Buddhist contemplative sciences are revealed. Dr. Jayne Gackenbach's discussion of lucid dreaming, for example, prompts a detailed and fascinating response from the Dalai Lama on the manipulation of dreams by Buddhist meditators. The conversations also reveal provocative divergences of opinion, as when the Dalai Lama expresses skepticism about \\\"Near-Death Experiences\\\" as presented by Joan Halifax. The conversations are engrossing and highly readable.

Its essential spirit, therefore, appeals not only to Christians but to all people. Until recently the Buddhism of Tibet has been largely shrouded in mystery. But as its teachers, or lamas, have more and more contact with the West they confirm the fundamental unity of the human family. In this book, Lama Yeshe, a highly respected Tibetan lama trained in the lineages of compassion and wisdom, shows how the modern spirit can be revitalized. Taking as his major focus the ways in which we customarily celebrate Christmas, Lama Yeshe exposes the foibles of our secular age and shows how we can surmount them. With the warmth and humor that have endeared him to so many, he takes a clear look at the ways we think. The relevance of these insights is refreshing. First published in 1978 by Wisdom Publications, the book has been out of print for many years. With the kind permission of Wisdom\u2019s director, Daniel Aitken, LYWA has created the second edition, which includes the original collection of talks given by Lama Yeshe at Kopan Monastery on Christmas Eve, as well as another Christmas talk and a Cistercian priest\u2019s tribute to Lama after he passed away in 1984.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=jRfwEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:56.896Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3871,\"isbn\":\"8120816331\",\"authors\":\"Santideva\",\"title\":\"Siksa Samuccaya: A Compendium Of Buddhist Doctrine Comp\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Motilal Banarsidass\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2000\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"This is the first Indian edition of the English translation of Siksasamuccaya- a Mahayana Buddhist treatise edited by Dr. Bendall from a single Nepalese manuscript for the Russian Bibliotheca Buddhica.The book is a compendium of Buddhist doctrine preserved in the schools of the great Vehicle-Mahayana.

Their artwork\u2014Zenga and Zensho (\u201CZen pictures\u201D and \u201CZen calligraphy\u201D)\u2014was not only an extension of their Zen practice but also reflected their deep spiritual commitment to the budo ethos, the perfection of self through martial arts training. This book presents a concise history of this tradition, with works from such samurai as Musashi, Takuan, Yagyu, Motusgai, Rengetsu, Tesshu Deishu, Kano, Morihei, and others.

Buddhism often relegates the body to a role subordinate to that of the mind; the focus of YangOnpa's Hidden Description is the body itself, with its manifold layers - coarse, subtle, and very subtle. In his presentation of the human body's energetic structure he contends that it is not simply the means to achieve enlightenment, but enlightenment itself, blending the Highest Tantra notion of the body as the method with the Total Perfection (rdzogs chen) principle of inherently present enlightenment as the fundamental nature of all phenomena. Gyalwa YangOnpa realized the nature of mind at the age of eight upon hearing instructions on the Dzogchen mind cycle of teachings. And at age nine he was installed as the abbot of Lhadong monastery, where he gave profound religious discourses, establishing his reputation as an enlightened emanation. During his lifetime, 1213-1258, he was devoted to four precious masters of different lineages. Under the guidance of the first two, he undertook solitary retreat and, following a clear vision of the energetic system of body and mind, came to master this inseparable matrix. An exceptional being gifted with powers, knowledge, and wisdom, YangOnpa led an exemplary life and his spiritual achievements won him a large number of followers. His literary output left a mark in the writings of later masters of all Tibetan schools, including Tsongkhapa, the Eighth Karmapa, JamgOn Kongtrul LodrO Thaye, Raga Asya, and Jigmed Lingpa.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=AStDMQAACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:47.927Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3855,\"isbn\":\"1856691780\",\"authors\":\"David Weldon and Jane Casey Singer\",\"title\":\"SCULPTURAL HERITAGE OF TIBET /ANGLAIS\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"LAURENCE KING\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1999\",\"categories\":\"Art\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=M2HrAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:46.031Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3854,\"isbn\":\"9782310392044\",\"authors\":\"Leon Hurvitz\",\"title\":\"Scripture of the Lotus Blossom of the Fine Dharma: The Lotus Sutra \",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Columbia University Press\",\"pages\":\"421\",\"year\":\"1976\",\"categories\":\"Sutra\",\"description\":\"Originally published in 1976, Leon Hurvitz's monumental translation of the Lotus Sutra is the work scholars have preferred for decades. Hailed by critics as an \\\"extraordinary\\\" and \\\"magnificent\\\" achievement, Hurvitz's translation is based on the best known Chinese version of the text and includes passages of the original Sanskrit that were omitted from the Chinese.\\n\\nBeloved for its mythology and literary artistry, the Lotus Sutra is one of the most popular and influential texts of Mahayana Buddhism, asserting that there is only one path to enlightenment, the bodhisattva path, and that all followers without exception can achieve supreme awakening. The text argues that the Buddha cannot be delimited by time and space and that a common intent underlies the diversity of Buddhist teachings. Through parables of the burning house, the wayward son, and other tales that have come to be known throughout East Asia, the sutra skilfully concretizes abstract religious concepts and clarifies bold claims about the Buddhist tradition. Urging devotees to revivify doctrine through recitation and interpretation, the sutra powered an organic process of remaking that not only kept its content alive in the poetry and art of premodern Asia but also introduced new forms of practice and scriptural study into contemporary Buddhism. Stephen F. Teiser's foreword addresses this vital quality of the sutra, discusses its background, and reflects on the enduring relevance of Hurvitz's critical work.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UvRhPnr1L._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:45.354Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3852,\"isbn\":\"9781614294726\",\"authors\":\"\",\"title\":\"Science and Philosophy in the Indian Buddhist Classics, Vol. 1: The Physical World\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2017\",\"categories\":\"Science\",\"description\":\"\\\"Deepen your understanding of meaning and truth with the third volume of the Dalai Lama's esteemed series Science and Philosophy in the Indian Buddhist Classics. In this third volume the focus turns to exploring the philosophical schools of India. The practice of presenting the views of various schools of philosophy dates back to the first millennium in India, when proponents of competing traditions would arrange the diverse sets of philosophical positions in a hierarchy culminating in their own school's superior tenets. Centuries later, relying on the Indian Buddhist treatises, Tibet developed its own tradition of works on tenets (grub mtha'), often centered on the four schools of Buddhist philosophy, using them to demonstrate the philosophical evolution within their own tradition, and within individual practitioners, as they progressed through increasingly more subtle expressions of the true reality. The present work follows in this venerable tradition, but with a modern twist. Like its predecessors, it presents the views of seven non-Buddhist schools, those of the Samkhya, Vaisesika, Nyaya, Mimamsa, Vedanta, Jaina, and Lokayata, followed by the Buddhist Vaibhasika, Sautrantika, Cittamatra, and Madhyamaka schools, arranging them like steps on a ladder to the profound. But rather than following in the sharply polemical approach of its ancient predecessors, it strives to survey each tradition authentically, relying on and citing the texts sacred to each, allowing the different traditions to speak for themselves. What, it asks, are the basic components of the world we experience? What is the nature of their ultimate reality? And how can we come to experience that for ourselves? See how the rich spiritual traditions of India approached these key questions, where they agreed, and how they evolved through dialogue and debate.\\\" -- Provided by publisher.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=9SScEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:44.468Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3851,\"isbn\":\"1841935786\",\"authors\":\"WILLIAM WRAY\",\"title\":\"SAYINGS OF THE BUDDHA: REFLECTIONS FOR EVERY DAY\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"CAPELLA\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2022\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"The Buddha taught a down to Earth wisdom that is still deeply relevant today.

Dharmak\u012Brti's Commentary on Valid Cognition (Pram\u0101\u1E47av\u0101rttika). Composed in India in the seventh century, it became the cornerstone for the study of logic and epistemology in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. This work translated here is by one of the premier scholars of the Sakya school, Gorampa S\u00F6nam Seng\u00E9 (1429-89). It illuminates the first two chapters of Dharmak\u012Brti's work, those on using inference to enlighten oneself (sv\u0101rth\u0101num\u0101na) and on establishing valid cognition (pram\u0101\u1E47asiddhi) both to determine the authority of the Buddha as a valid teacher and to eliminate the cognitive obstacles to awakening. The root text is composed in compact verses, and these are translated here along with Gorampa's word-by-word commentary that reveals their often veiled meanings. These chapters explore key issues in the philosophy of language and the nature of conventional designation, the way to employ sound reasoning, the proof of past and future lives, and the way to eliminate the view of self. In the skilled hands of translator Gavin Kilty, these insights are made accessible\\\"--\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=i1nGEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:41.059Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3845,\"isbn\":\"1784320269\",\"authors\":\"Ajahn\",\"title\":\"Samadhi is Pure Enjoyment\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Amaravati Publications\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2014\",\"categories\":\"Meditation\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=P9lCSQeV8yMC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:40.291Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3844,\"isbn\":\"9789379387264\",\"authors\":\"Edited by Karma Lekshe Tsomo\",\"title\":\"Sakyadhita: Daughters of the Buddha\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"346\",\"year\":\"1988\",\"categories\":\"Women in Buddhism\",\"description\":\"Women Buddhist renunciates from East & West talk candidly about their lives\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51WJTnRyc1L.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:39.540Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3843,\"isbn\":\"9781853270499\",\"authors\":\"Giacomella Orofino\",\"title\":\"Sacred Tibetan Teachings: Death and Liberation\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Prism Press\",\"pages\":\"163\",\"year\":\"1990\",\"categories\":\"Death & Re-birth\",\"description\":\"The texts in Sacred Tibetan Teachings include \\\"The Great Secret Union of the Sun and Moon\\\", and \\\"The Doctrine of the Six Lights\\\".

But still there is the question of how we can experience that truth in our lives. In this book, Dainin Katagiri points to the manifestation of enlightenment right here, right now, in our everyday routine. Genuineness of practice lies in \\\"just living\\\" our lives wholeheartedly. The Zen practice of sitting meditation (zazen) is this not a means to an end but is the activity of enlightenment itself. That is why Katagiri Roshi says, \\\"Don't expect enlightenment\u2014just sit down!\\\"\\n\\nBased on the author's talks to his American students, Returning to Silence contains the basic teachings of the Buddha, with special emphasis on the meaning of faith and on meditation. It also offers a commentary on \\\"The Bodhisattva's Four Methods of Guidance\\\" from Dogen Zenji's Shobogenzo, which speaks in depth about the appropriate actions of those who guide others in the practice of the Buddha Way. Throughout these pages, Katagiri Roshi energetically brings to life the message that \\\"Buddha is your daily life.\\\"\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=LttOEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:34.218Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3834,\"isbn\":\"1903973058\",\"authors\":\"Corbett, Tony\",\"title\":\"Return of the Buddha: The Qingzhou Discoveries\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Royal Academy of Arts\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2002\",\"categories\":\"Art\",\"description\":\"This handsome volume -- the catalogue of an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London -- celebrates the 1996 discovery of a hoard of Buddhist stone statues at the Longxing temple site in Qingzhou, Shandong Province, China.

He spoke with humor and true understanding, expressing plainly and simply what he himself had undergone. Consequently, his teachings are uniquely accessible, with a powerfully beneficial impact on those who hear or read his words. This book, a selection of his oral and written teachings, spells out the essential points of spiritual practice and leads readers along the same path they would follow in the presence of a master. Through direct, pithy instructions, students are encouraged to question the master repeatedly, while at the same time processing their own experiences. Representing the heart of Rinpoche's teachings, Repeating the Words of the Buddha shows that the enlightened essence is present within the mind of any sentient being, and that it can be recognized by all who seek it.\",\"image\":\"https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQOXgeVknkutjnW9XbJEy8cSXNC5dGiIDrWWg&s\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:32.176Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3831,\"isbn\":\"140293035\",\"authors\":\"The, Twelfth Tai Situpa\",\"title\":\"Relative World, Ultimate Mind\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Penguin Books Australia Ltd\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=3LIKAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:31.595Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3830,\"isbn\":\"9780861712717\",\"authors\":\"Geshe Tashi Tsering\",\"title\":\"Relative truth, ultimate truth, Volume 2\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"The Foundation of Buddhist Thought\",\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":\"175\",\"year\":\"2008\",\"categories\":\"Tenets\",\"description\":\"Relative Truth, Ultimate Truth is a clear and remarkably practical presentation of a core Buddhist teaching on the nature of reality.

Our program is based on the idea that every one of us is our own guide in recovery from addiction, with the help and understanding of our wise friends and sangha (community). We believe that\u2019s what the Dharma teaches us. The Buddha knew that all human beings, to one degree or another, struggle with craving\u2014the powerful, sometimes blinding desire to change our thoughts, feelings, and circumstances. Those of us who experience addiction have been more driven to use substances or behaviors to do this, but the underlying craving is the same. And even though the Buddha didn\u2019t talk specifically about addiction, he understood the obsessive nature of the human mind. He understood our attachment to pleasure and aversion to pain. He understood the extreme lengths we can sometimes go to, chasing what we want to feel and running away from the feelings we fear. And he found a solution. This program leads to recovery from addiction to substances like alcohol and drugs, and also from what we refer to as process addictions. We can also become addicted to sex, gambling, technology, work, codependence, shopping, food, media, self-harm, lying, stealing, obsessive worrying. This is a path to freedom from any repetitive and habitual behavior that causes suffering. Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and a community that is unified by the potential in each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction. We approach recovery from a place of individual and collective empowerment and we support each other as we walk this path of recovery together.\",\"image\":\"https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1572973586l/49975805._SX318_SY475_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:28.016Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3822,\"isbn\":\"9781590302071\",\"authors\":\"Fabrice Midal\",\"title\":\"Recalling Chogyam Trungpa\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":\"481\",\"year\":\"2005\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"In wide-ranging essays and interviews, contributors from the fields of Buddhist practice and scholarship, philosophy, the arts, and literature examine the work of a modern genius\u2014the Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Ch\u00F6gyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939\u20131987). A pioneer in introducing Buddhism to the West, Trungpa Rinpoche had a distinct knack for breaking down the cultural, historical, and ideological barriers that make any such transmission so difficult today. His skill at communicating in a living language to Western students, while remaining faithful to the traditional origins of Buddhism, was paired with an understanding of the modern world of unusual relevance. As a result, his activities in a wide range of areas\u2014including psychology, education, theater, poetry, visual arts, translation, publishing, interreligious dialogue, the creation of a path of spiritual warriorship, and the founding of the first Buddhist university in North America\u2014offer penetrating insights into the meaning of Buddhism for our world and our culture. This anthology is a testimony to the continuing influence of his unique qualities and work as a revitalizing force in spheres both spiritual and secular.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=qT7xLbSCJJQC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:26.733Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3821,\"isbn\":\"9780747518785\",\"authors\":\"Vicki Mackenzie\",\"title\":\"Reborn In the West: The Reincarnation Masters\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Bloomsbury\",\"pages\":\"214\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Western Buddhism\",\"description\":\"Reborn in the West is an enthralling odyssey which seeks to uncover the mysteries behind reincarnation. Among the wealth of information that currently fuels the reincarnation debate, there is one story that towers above the rest. For the first time 'reincarnation masters' are appearing in the West-men and women who through profound meditation techniques can steer their consciousness at the time of death to the precise rebirth of their choice. Having reached this ultimate spiritual achievement, they elect to come back to earth for one reason only- to help all humanity attain the same freedom as themselves. Vicki Mackenzie goes on a search of these spiritual adepts. She discovers who these reincarnates are, how they are identified, and what their mission is. En Route she also encounters those leading the way in Western research into the phenomenon of past lives. Reborn in the West examines how we may live more that one life, and all the myriad implications that concept implies. In doing so, it focuses on the great debate currently occupying the scientific world-the nature of consciousness and of the mind itself.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31OXZCD1K4L._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:26.238Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3820,\"isbn\":\"861712153\",\"authors\":\"Willson, Martin\",\"title\":\"Rebirth and the Western Buddhist\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Pubns\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1988\",\"categories\":\"Death & Re-birth\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=5PYQAQAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:25.824Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3818,\"isbn\":\"9780861712397\",\"authors\":\"Matthew Kapstein\",\"title\":\"Reason's Traces: Identity and Interpretation in Indian and Tibetan Buddhist Thought\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":\"473\",\"year\":\"2001\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"Reason's Traces addresses some of the key questions in the study of Indian and Buddhist thought: the analysis of personal identity and of ultimate reality, the interpretation of Tantric texts and traditions, and Tibetan approaches to the interpretation of Indian sources.

In Behold the Buddha, James Dobbins invites readers to imagine how premodern Japanese Buddhists understood and experienced icons in temple settings long before the advent of museums and the internet. Although widely portrayed in the last century as visual emblems of great religious truths or as exquisite works of Asian art, Buddhist images were traditionally treated as the very embodiment of the Buddha, his palpable presence among people. Hence, Buddhists approached them as living entities in their own right\u2014that is, as awakened icons with whom they could interact religiously. Dobbins begins by reflecting on art museums, where many non-Buddhists first encounter images of the Buddha, before outlining the complex Western response to them in previous centuries. He next elucidates images as visual representations of the story of the Buddha\u2019s life followed by an overview of the physical attributes and symbolic gestures found in Buddhist iconography. A variety of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and other divinities commonly depicted in Japanese Buddhism is introduced, and their \u201Cliving\u201D quality discussed in the context of traditional temples and Buddhist rituals. Finally, other religious objects in Japanese Buddhism\u2014relics, scriptures, inscriptions, portraits of masters, and sacred sites\u2014are explained using the Buddhist icon as a model. Dobbins concludes by contemplating art museums further as potential sites for discerning the religious character of Buddhist images. Those interested in Buddhism generally who would like to learn more about its rich iconography\u2014whether encountered in temples or museums\u2014will find much in this concise, well-illustrated volume to help them \u201Cbehold the Buddha.\u201D\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=cgvPDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:24.021Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3816,\"isbn\":\"9780393019681\",\"authors\":\"Jeffery Paine\",\"title\":\"Re-Enchantment: Tibetan Buddhism Comes to the West\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"W W Norton & Co Inc\",\"pages\":\"278\",\"year\":\"2004\",\"categories\":\"Western Buddhism\",\"description\":\"The imperialist ambitions of China \u2013 which invaded Tibet in the late 1940s \u2013 have sparked the spectacular spread of Tibetan Buddhism worldwide, and especially in western countries. This work is a study on the malleability of a particular Buddhist tradition; on its adaptability in new contexts. The book analyses the nature of the Tibetan Buddhism in the Diaspora. It examines how the re-signification of Tibetan Buddhist practices and organizational structures in the present refers back to the dismantlement of the Tibetan state headed by the Dalai Lama and the fragmentation of Tibetan Buddhist religious organizations in general. It includes extensive multi-sited fieldwork conducted in the United States, Brazil, Europe, and Asia and a detailed analysis of contemporary documents relating to the global spread of Tibetan Buddhism. The author demonstrates that there is a \\\"de-institutionalized\\\" and \\\"de-territorialized\\\" project of political power and religious organization, which, among several other consequences, engenders the gradual \\\"autonomization\\\" of lamas and lineages inside the religious field of Tibetan Buddhism. Thus, a spectre of these previous institutions continues to exist outside their original contexts, and they are continually activated in ever-new settings. Using a combination of two different academic traditions \u2013 namely, the Brazilian anthropological tradition and the American Buddhist studies tradition \u2013 it investigates the \\\"process of cultural re-signification\\\" of Tibetan Buddhism in the context of its Diaspora. Thus, it will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Asian Religion, Asian Studies and Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NA16JJJ3L._SY445_SX342_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:23.435Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3814,\"isbn\":\"9789627341222\",\"authors\":\"Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"Rainbow Painting\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"A Collection of Miscellaneous Aspects of Development and Completion\",\"publisher\":\"Rangjung Yeshe Publications\",\"pages\":\"210\",\"year\":\"2004\",\"categories\":\"Dzogchen\",\"description\":\"\\\"Rainbow painting is a compilation of talks given between 1991-1994.

From prayer to how Christianity views life after death, Knitter argues that a Buddhist standpoint can encourage a more person-centred conception of Christianity, where individual religious experience comes first, and liturgy and tradition second.

The idea is that by beginning with one\u2019s first rather coarse common sense 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\u2019s understanding through the meditation process. \u201CThe Progressive Stages of Meditation on Emptiness is a signature teaching and systematic method of instruction taught by my amazing guru, Khenchen Ts\u00FCltrim Gyamtso Rinpoche. Profound and concise, it is a transformative way for sincere students at any level of study to connect with the experience of shunyata. Lama Shenpen Hookham's skillful presentation of Rinpoche's teaching on these progressive stages so many years ago has been a great and enduring gift to the dharma world. I am delighted by this revised edition, which will benefit all who take its pithy wisdom to heart\u201D - Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche \u201CKhenpo Rinpoche\u2019s text, expertly translated and arranged by Lama Shenpen Hookham, is an eminently practical tool to familiarize ourselves with the notoriously difficult Buddhist notion of emptiness through a gradual approach and make it a personal

Press\",\"pages\":\"94\",\"year\":\"2002\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"The reader of this book will discover three different and complementary teachings. First of all, a literal translation of the Heart Sutra followed by a commentary. Perhaps the best known piece of literature expounding the Buddha's teachings, the Heart Sutra is read and chanted by most of the Mahayana schools (Great Vehicle). Within the teachings of Prajnaparamita (the Mother of all Buddhas), it is defined as the heart or essence of these teachings, as suggested by its title.\\nWhen we enter the path of Prajnaparamita, we soon discover that our biggest problem is that we see reality through the distortions created by our own mind. How can we approach outer and inner phenomena in a better way? This is precisely the subject of the Heart Sutra. Of course, this is not easy. Bokar Rinpoche offers a thorough explanation of the text in order to open and broaden our understanding. His teachings go further allowing us to taste the ultimate realization of Transcendent Wisdom, and showing us the nonreality of phenomena.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513-AhqB6aL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:18.958Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3807,\"isbn\":\"968768946\",\"authors\":\"Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"Profound View Fearless Path\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Siddhi Publications\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2000\",\"categories\":\"Madhyamika\",\"description\":null,\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=SAY9I1wyyscC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:18.379Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3806,\"isbn\":\"9780963037152\",\"authors\":\"Kalu Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"Profound Buddhism: From Hinayana to Vajrayana\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Clearpoint Press\",\"pages\":\"205\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"This volume is part of a series of three books devoted to Tibetan Buddhism as seen through the teachings of one of the most revered masters of modern times, Kalu Rinpoche. The complete three-volume work is composed of: Excellent Buddhism Profound Buddhism Secret Buddhism The first volume, Excellent Buddhism, contains a number of biographical documents on Kalu Rinpoche, notably the remarkable memories of Lama Gyaltsen. The first volume also contains teachings dealing more specifically with daily life and with the relationship between Buddhism and the West. The second volume, Profound Buddhism, presents the teachings on Hinayana and Mahayana as esoteric aspects of Buddhism. Profound Buddhism expounds on the absolute nature of mind, emptiness, and compassion; dealing with conflicting emotions; the situation of the individual in the cycle of existence; and karma. Finally, the third volume, Secret Buddhism, reveals the principles of Vajrayana, mantras, empowerments, the six yogas of Naropa, and so on. It includes important chapters on the bardo (the period of time between death and rebirth), Tibetan medicine, and initiation lineages. Kalu Rinpoche, Lama of Light, came to France for the first time in 1971. Tibet, an inaccessible stronghold of highest spirituality, had remained separate up to this time, on the grounds that the rest of the world could not understand her. Kalu Rinpoche, then almost 70 years old, was the first, despite the skepticism of the majority of his peers, to believe that Tibetan Buddhism could have an impact in the West. History proved that he was right. He taught many people during numerous trips until his death in 1989. A great number of them were captivated by his charismatic radiance and set out on the path of liberation. Kalu Rinpoche is no longer with us, but the wealth, depth, and diversity of his recorded teachings remain. Unfortunately, these recordings are not accessible to the public.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RC51P64HL.gif\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:17.968Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3805,\"isbn\":\"9780226493107\",\"authors\":\"Donald S.

In Preparing for Tantra, Preece draws on his experience as a Tantric Buddhist practitioner, meditation teacher, and psychotherapist to explain how to make the preliminary practices psychologically meaningful and spiritually transformative. He examines each of the practices with an eye to revealing how they may be used to heal and transform psychological trauma and offers practical suggestions for integrating them into daily life\u2014as well as ensuring that practitioners are prepared psychologically, emotionally, and energetically to start out safely on the tantric path. Preparing for Tantra is an accessible guidebook for engaging in ngondro, the preliminary practices that are done before engaging in a long tantric retreat.

The Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje (1556\u20131603) was the acknowledged master of this approach. No more authoritative or useful instructions exist than in his three definitive texts on Mahamudra, of which this easy-to-use manual is the shortest and most practical. Pointing Out the Dharmakaya is an indispensable companion to The Ocean of Definitive Meaning, the most vast and detailed of the texts. An invaluable guide for Mahamudra practitioners on how to look at the mind, it is clearly laid out so that the instructions are easy to recall and put to use. Brilliant explanations by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche make this text vividly relevant for contemporary Western practitioners. For those committed to ascertaining the mind's true nature, checking their experience, and refining and extending their insight, there is no more systematic or comprehensive approach than can be found in this extraordinary set of instructions.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=c7xvDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:10.495Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3793,\"isbn\":\"9788186470336\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

With an introductory commentary by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Meditations on Living, Dying, and Loss is a compilation of writings from the first complete translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which explores these central questions. Each chapter is introduced by the editor of the acclaimed first translation, Graham Coleman. Based on his experience of bereavement and his knowledge of contemporary near-death research, he reveals the immense creativity that deepening our insight into the relationship between living and dying can bring. Graham Coleman (co-editor) is President of the Orient Foundation (UK). Thupten Jinpa (co-editor) is the senior translator to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Gyurme Dorje (translator) is a leading scholar of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The introduction is written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=z-Joxdk1E1UC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:36:05.637Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3785,\"isbn\":\"712674063\",\"authors\":\"Thich Nhat Hanh\",\"title\":\"Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Random House\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Meditation\",\"description\":\"Ce livre commence l\u00E0 o\u00F9 le lecteur se trouve : \u00E0 la cuisine, au bureau, en voiture, au jardin.. .

This authoritative annotated translation of five key texts of Everlasting (Yungdrung) B\u00F6n by Marc des Jardins opens up a relatively unknown tradition that, since the arrival of Buddhism in Tibet, has undergone great transformations in its philosophy, doctrinal teachings, and meditative practices. Each text represents an important aspect of the tradition. The first text, by Drog\u00F6n Azha Lodr\u00F6 Gyaltsen (1198\u20131263), presents the grounds and paths of the Greater Vehicle of the B\u00F6n tradition and represents the philosophical ideology of its teachings based on the scriptures contained in the B\u00F6n canon. The second text is a short root tantra attributed to revealed teachings from Kuntu Zangpo, the personification of the unconditioned absolute. The third text is a commentary on this root tantra attributed to Drenpa Namkha (fl. eighth century), a B\u00F6npo sage contemporary with Padmasambhava. The fourth text, by Nyam\u00E9 Sherap Gyaltsen (1356\u20131415), presents a general exposition of the tantric system according to Yungdrung B\u00F6n. The final text, by Drut\u00F6n Gyalwa Yungdrung (1242\u201390), pertains to the oral instructions on the meditation practices of B\u00F6n, especially on the cycle of practices associated with experiencing the nature of the mind, the Great Perfection systems. All five texts have been selected by the late H. H.

Compiled in the second half of the fourth-century A.D., this sutra not only represents a comprehensive synthesis of both early and late religio-philosophical ideas crucial to the understanding of Buddhism in India, but it also provides an insight into the very early roots of the Japanese Zen Buddhism in the heart of the South Asian esotericism. The first part of the book outlines the three-fold nature of Being, as conceptualized in Buddhist metaphysics. The author uses an interpretive framework borrowed from the existentialist philosophy of Heidegger, in order to separate the transcendental Essence of Being from its Temporal manifestation as Self, and from its Spatial or Cosmic dimension.

Is there only one Buddha or are there many? What can Buddhas do and what do they know? Is there anything they cannot do and cannot know?

This is the first book in a western language to treat these doctrines about Buddha from a philosophical and thoroughly critical viewpoint. The book shows that Buddhist thinkers were driven, when theorizing about Buddha, by a basic intuition that Buddha must be maximally perfect, and that pursuing the implications of this intuition led them into some conceptual dilemmas that show considerable similarity to some of those treated by western theists. The Indian Buddhist tradition of thought about these matters is presented here as thoroughly systematic, analytical, and doctrinal.

An Ocean of Reasoning is the most extensive and perhaps the deepest extant commentary on Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika (Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way), and it can be argued that it is impossible to discuss Nagarjuna's work in an informed way without consulting it. It discusses alternative readings of the text and prior commentaries and provides a detailed exegesis, constituting a systematic presentation of Madhyamaka Buddhist philosophy. Despite its central importance, however, of Tsong kha pa's three most important texts, only An Ocean of Reasoning remains untranslated, perhaps because it is both philosophically and linguistically challenging, demanding a rare combination of abilities on the part of a translator. Jay Garfield and Ngawang Samten bring the requisite skills to this difficult task, combining between them expertise in Western and Indian philosophy, and fluency in Tibetan, Sanskrit, and English. The resulting translation of this important text will not only be a landmark contribution to the scholarship of Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, but will serve as a valuable companion volume to Jay Garfield's highly successful translation of The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=f_QRDAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:41.854Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3746,\"isbn\":\"791414795\",\"authors\":\"\",\"title\":\"Ocean of Eloquence: Tsong kha pa's Commentary on the Yogacara Doctrine of Mind (SUNY Series in Buddhist Studies)\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"SUNY Press\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1993\",\"categories\":\"Cittamantra/Mind Only\",\"description\":\"This book is of particular interest because it shows the presence of the Yog\u0101c\u0101ra (Mind Only) school in Tibet. It is well known that the M\u0101dhyamaka school flourished in Tibet, but less well known that Yog\u0101c\u0101ra doctrines were also studied and practiced. The former school stresses the inexpressible ultimate; the latter, the natural luminosity of mind. This is probably the best introduction to the distinctive eight consciousness systems of Yog\u0101c\u0101ra. It also makes understandable the different meanings of the profound alaya-vijnana (the storehouse consciousness, or basis of all) that is the pivotal eighth consciousness in their system. For those interested in meditation, the author's introduction explains how earlier Tibetan meditation (the method of allowing mind to look into its own pure nature) uses the eight-consciousness system. The book is remarkable in that it addresses the problem of how a person trapped within the confines of a limited and deluded personality can transcend that state and attain liberation. By his inquiry into the process of transformation, Tsong kha pa makes profound comments which will interest those who ask whether enlightenment is a gradual process or a sudden breakthrough. Tsong kha pa (1357-1419) wrote extensively on nearly every aspect of Buddhist religious philosophy and practice.

A broad survey of the Anguttara Nikaya shows that its primary focus is on practice, and it treats practice from a wide-angle perspective. The subjects of the discourses range from the basic ethical observances recommended to the busy layperson, through the pillars of mind training, to the highest meditative attainments. The Anguttara is also distinguished among the four Nikayas by its interest in types of persons, which it describes and classifies in detail, often with stunning similes.

Essays by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama appear with Galen Rowell's dramatic images in a moving presentation of the splendors of Tibet's revered but threatened heritage. When Chinese communist troops invaded Tibet in 1950, the author was fifteen years old and the spiritual and temporal ruler of a nation the size of western Europe. Tenzin Gyatso, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet, appealed to the United Nations for help and then fled across the Himalaya in winter to a border town, where he anxiously awaited political aid that never came. Like the mythical kingdom of Shangri-La, Tibet had sought isolation from the rest of the world. Diplomatic relations and foreign visitors had been shunned, and few people in the West knew what cultural and natural treasures lay threatened there. In the years that followed, the Dalai Lama struggled to maintain peace in Tibet and to protect his people's ways, but in 1959 he was forced to flee to India, where he remains today. There he has established a government in exile in Dharamsala that has endeavored to preserve Tibetan culture while preparing for a peaceful return to a free Tibet. As the Chinese cautiously opened select Tibetan doors to visitors in the 1980s, a sickening realization stole over the rest of the world: Tibet had been ravaged by the Chinese occupation. All but a dozen of Tibet's six thousand monasteries had been destroyed. Much of the once-bountiful wildlife had disappeared. A sixth of the population had perished. The picture seemed so bleak that many wondered whether there was anything worth saving in this wounded land. The Dalai Lama's heartening answer and Galen Rowell's magnificent photographs leave no doubt that the mystery and enchantment of Tibet, though seriously endangered, are still alive. To Tibetans the Dalai Lama is an incarnation of the Buddha of compassion. He has spent the last thirty years tirelessly advocating nonviolence and compassion to all living things as the answer to Tibet's plight. \\\"My religion is simple,\\\" he says, \\\"my religion is kindness.\\\" My Tibet movingly elaborates this message: here the Dalai Lama offers his views on how world peace, happiness, and environmental responsibility are inextricably linked. He explains the meaning of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists and gives an engaging account of his early life in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. In addition, he reveals many sides to his nature-compassion, profound faith, common sense, generosity, a playful sense of humor-in personal reflections matched here to 108 photographs of the land he hasn't seen since 1959. Together the breathtaking photographs, which express Rowell's own commitment to the natural world, and the Dalai Lama's observations help preserve the enduring meaning of Tibet's culture, religion, and natural heritage.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=wU6GiHcKlcEC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:30.559Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3728,\"isbn\":\"9781846042416\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

There has never been one entirely dedicated to the spiritual life of the Dalai Lama. Yet as one of the world's most recognised, and respected, spiritual leaders there is already great interest in such a work from His Holiness' thousands of friends and followers around the world. The Dalai Lama sees himself first and foremost as a human being, secondly as a monk and thirdly as the former political leader of Tibet. In this extraordinary autobiography we read many hitherto unknown stories from his childhood, his formation as a monk and his gradual development as a leader of his people. We are offered a view of his daily spiritual practise, invited to listen in on the dialogue he has been pursuing with other religions, with non-believers and with scientists in his search for ethical and environmental principles, and shown how he brings a sense of goodness and conscience to political life around the globe. In a world that is so profoundly interdependent, the Dalai Lama explains how he transforms himself through spiritual means in order to have a positive effect on the world, and he encourages us to do the same by working on ourselves first of all.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=K24qmijy1yUC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:30.010Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3727,\"isbn\":\"9780963029300\",\"authors\":\"Khyongla Rato\",\"title\":\"My Life and Lives: The Story of a Tibetan Incarnation\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Rato Publications\",\"pages\":\"280\",\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"The autobiography of Khyongla Rato is a moving human interest story set in the last few decades of life in Tibet before Communists seized control of the country in 1959.

The second incident\u2014the notorious massacre in Tiananmen Square in 1989\u2014is well known. The first, thirty years earlier in Tibet, remains little understood today. Yet in wages of destruction, bloodshed, and trampling of human rights, the tragic toll of March 1959 surpassed Tiananmen. Tibet in Agony provides the first clear historical account of the Chinese crackdown in Lhasa. Sifting facts from the distortions of propaganda and partisan politics, Jianglin Li reconstructs a chronology of events that lays to rest lingering questions about what happened in those fate-filled days and why. Her story begins with throngs of Tibetan demonstrators who\u2014fearful that Chinese authorities were planning to abduct the Dalai Lama, their beloved leader\u2014formed a protective ring around his palace. On the night of March 17, he fled in disguise, only to reemerge in India weeks later to set up a government in exile. But no peaceful resolution awaited Tibet. The Chinese army soon began shelling Lhasa, inflicting thousands of casualties and ravaging heritage sites in the bombardment and the infantry onslaught that followed. Unable to resist this show of force, the Tibetans capitulated, putting Mao Zedong in a position to fulfill his long-cherished dream of bringing Tibet under the Communist yoke. Li\u2019s extensive investigation, including eyewitness interviews and examination of classified government records, tells a gripping story of a crisis whose aftershocks continue to rattle the region today.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81whQ0gZVYL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:28.763Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3725,\"isbn\":\"60596554\",\"authors\":\"David-Neel, Alexandra\",\"title\":\"My Journey to Lhasa: The Classic Story of the Only Western Woman Who Succeeded in Entering the Forbidden City\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Harper Perennial\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2005\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"Grandsy\u2019s eyes light up for just a few moments and then the sparkle dies out. \u201CI\u2019m too tired to go out for food,\u201D she said. \u201CNo big deal,\u201D Ray replies. But it is a big deal! Grandsy is in some kind of funk! Something IS really wrong, although no one is being direct about it. Later, Ray discovers that Grandsy has been diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s Dementia. How can Ray battle this insidious disease and bring her beloved Grandsy back to life? Ray has learned the power of the sacred Quest, and if there ever was a need for one, it is now. Fa had told Ray stories of the Elixir of Immortality residing in Shambhala, a hidden kingdom accessible only through the sacred Quest. Using clues Fa left in a storage locker, Ray plays on her Mum\u2019s own desire to find Fa. In the darkest and most exciting Ray Adventure yet, Ray reaches new heights of deception and misdirection that launch them on a journey into an ancient dystopian world hidden beneath Nepal. Little do they know it, but Ray and her Mother have arrived at the most turbulent moment in the political history of Nepal. Ray\u2019s Mum is invited on a double date with a member of Nepal\u2019s royal family. Flattered and fed up with Ray\u2019s double-dealing, her Mum goes on her own adventure. That very night the royal family is massacred and Ray\u2019s Mum is taken hostage. Ray enlists the help of Devi - a trained protector of Shambhala, and a Gurkha pilot who has a surprising knack of blacking out to avoid going against a direct order. Ray lands the float plane in a narrow canyon on the Kali Gandaki river. Together they succeed in rescuing her Mother from the well guarded Ranighat palace. Returning to her Quest for Shambhala, Ray parachutes into the Yalbang Monastery, literally running into the Buddha in the courtyard. There she meets the caregiver for Alexandra David-Neel, the greatest adventurer of the inner and outer realms, who shares with Ray the long-kept secret location to the entrance of Shambhala. The action ratchets up a notch at a Bon-Po ceremony attended by scores of wrathful deities. Ray and Devi enter a tum-mo competition that reveals to them the hidden powers of the breath and mind. Ray learns she can melt ice on a frozen lake through her body heat alone!.. Following the ceremony, an enigmatic Bon-Po shaman leads Ray to the entrance of Shambhala. Once inside, she discovers it\u2019s a false Shambhala that traps people for many lifetimes, addicting them to hallucinatory local honey. Are the Elixir of Immortality & Shambhala false hopes?

Christian theology of Buddhism is then a Christian reflection on the Buddhist faith in \\\"god\\\" or \\\"gods.\\\" Now, Buddhist teaching contains many seeming contradictions (as does Christian teaching). Accepting these, and looking for clues to understand how they came about and how they might be reconciled, is not only an intellectual challenge but also a religious duty. The Hidden \\\"God\\\" feels like a detective story, taking the reader along on an exacting investigation of the manifold themes, concepts, and persons of the different Buddhist faith traditions in order to discern whether they can be related to the Christian understanding of who God is.

The realization of this essential oneness in humanity, he said, makes any man or woman a Buddha. The book focuses on how to reach this understanding through a system of training of timeless, universal value that has been developed in Tibet. According to editor Erik Pema Kunsang Schmidt, the truth such training conveys is as meaningful for a modern meditation practitioner as it was centuries ago for Buddhists in India and Tibet. Newly designed and with a new translation of the Final Words of Tsele Natsok Rangdrol, this book is the foundation for the often-cited commentary \\\"Bardo Guidebook\\\" by contemporary teacher Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and is widely seen as indispensable for the serious study of Tibetan Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=6pcvrroVyuUC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:19.356Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3711,\"isbn\":\"9780861711574\",\"authors\":\"Mipham Rinpoche, Translated by John W.

They are directed primarily towards the practitioner of great capacity, and deal essentially with transforming our metal attitudes. One special feature of the mind training teachings is the advice to transform adversity into advantage. So, not only do these instructions help us open out towards other beings, but they also help us transform whatever difficulties come our way into something valuable. The Mind Training Like the Rays of the Sun exemplifies Tsong-khapa\u2019s presentation of mind training. The author, Nam-kha Pel, as he mentions in his introduction, received the lineage of the explanation of the Seven Point Mind Training, which is the fundamental text here, from various sources including Je Rinpoche, his principal teacher. what is distinctive about this presentation is that he has managed to combine both the mind training instructions as they are recorded in Geshey Che-ka-wa\u2019s text with the pattern of the Stages of the Path.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=rG72DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:15.329Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3704,\"isbn\":\"9780861714933\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

By illustrating his brilliant overview of the path with his own personal experiences and advice on how to integrate the practice, the Dalai Lama brings these teachings to life. The Dalai Lama delves deep into the teaching of the Great Perfection, or Dzogchen. His enthusiasm and admiration for this profound tradition shine through as he comments on an important work by the great Dzogchen master Longchen Rabjam, Finding Comfort and Ease in Meditation on the Great Perfection. This teaching, with its remarkable breadth and richness, was originally given to an audience of ten thousand in France in 2000, and this book perfectly captures the majesty of the occasion. As Sogyal Rinpoche, the Dalai Lama's host for the occasion, said, \\\"All of us were moved by the depth, relevance, and accessibility of these teachings; there were those who said that they were among the most remarkable they had ever heard him give. To receive these teachings from him was the opportunity of a lifetime.\\\" Blending the highest wisdom with the deepest compassion and humanity, Mind in Comfort and Ease offers a glimpse into the Dalai Lama's wisdom mind and a panoramic view of the Buddhist path.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=U8c6AwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:14.057Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3703,\"isbn\":\"9552400953\",\"authors\":\"Shrvasti Dhammika\",\"title\":\"Middle Land Middle Way: Pilgrim's Guide to Buddhist India\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Buddhist Publication Society,Sri Lanka\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1998\",\"categories\":\"Indian Traditions\",\"description\":\"A comprehensive guidebook to the places in India made sacred by the Buddha\u2019s presence.

In the concise yet comprehensive practice manual entitled The Illumination of Primordial Consciousness, the great twentieth-century Tibetan Nyingma master Dudjom Rinpoche lays out a sequential path to spiritual freedom according to the teachings of the Great Perfection (Dzokchen): First, we refine our awareness by training in meditative quiescence (shamatha) and then proceed to the cultivation of contemplative insight (vipashyana), by which our mind\u2019s basic nature of luminosity and emptiness is revealed. Then, having recognized that the ordinary, deluded mind is actually without any intrinsic essence, we are primed to cut through this conditioned mind into unborn, timeless pristine awareness, which has never been contaminated by mental afflictions or other obscurations. Finally, we realize that our own awareness has never been other than the dharmakaya, the mind of a buddha, and perfect enlightenment is realized spontaneously and effortlessly. In this book, beloved teacher and renowned scholar Lama B. Alan Wallace shares insights gained over years of study, providing a line-by-line explanation interspersed with background teachings from revered Dzokchen scriptures written by Padmasambhava, Dudjom Lingpa, and others. Also included are a set of fifteen guided meditations given by Lama Alan, along with links to audio tracks of Lama Alan giving the instructions himself.

this classic work of Buddhist studies scholarship, Jeffrey Hopkins\u2014one of the world\u2019s foremost scholar-practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism\u2014offers a clear exposition of the Prasangika-Madhyamaka view of emptiness as presented in the Geluk tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. In bringing this remarkable and complex philosophy to life, he describes the meditational practices by which emptiness can be realized and shows throughout that, far from being merely abstract scholasticism, these classic teachings can be vivid and utterly practical.\\n\\nTreating subjects ranging from the progressive path of meditation to the nature of emptiness and how it can be directly realized, this wide-ranging book guides the reader on an itinerary of intellectual and spiritual discovery, unpacking the distinctive Geluk synthesis of scholastic and meditative practices. The first study in any Western language to provide a comprehensive treatment of the doctrines and practices of a Tibetan Buddhist school, this book is indispensable for those wishing to delve deeply into Buddhist thought and its practical relevance.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81x4ItLjTlL._SL1500_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:04.863Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3688,\"isbn\":\"9781559392167\",\"authors\":\"Rinpoche, Khenchen Thrangu\",\"title\":\"Medicine Buddha Teachings\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":\"192\",\"year\":\"2004\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"Medicine Buddha Laghu Sadhana EBook by Astrologer Jyotishraj Suvrajit Singha Unlock the healing power of ancient wisdom with Medicine Buddha Sadhana Book.

This medieval text is intended to reveal the path into a ritual universe where the power of a buddha abides. Author Glenn Wallis traces the strategies of the Ma\u00F1jusrimulakalpa to enable its committed reader to perfect the promised ritual, uncovering what conditions must be met for ritual practice to succeed and what personal characteristics practitioners must possess in order to realize the ritual intentions of the Buddhist community. The manual itself was written at a key point in Buddhist history, one when Hindu forms of practice were still imitated and on the cusp of the shift from Mah\u0101y\u0101na to Vajray\u0101na (or Tantric) Buddhism. In addition, the Ma\u00F1jusrimulakalpa presents a rich compendium of Buddhist life in an earlier era, containing information on a variety of its readers' concerns: astrology, astronomy, medicine and healing, ritual practice, iconography, devotion, and meditation.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=bdYP8vvzPgEC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:02.614Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3683,\"isbn\":\"9781570625091\",\"authors\":\"Tulku Thondup\",\"title\":\"Masters of Meditation and Miracles: Lives of the Great Buddhist Masters of India and Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":\"383\",\"year\":\"1999\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"Masters of Meditation and Miracles presents colorful biographies of thirty-five realized teachers whose lives were full of peace, enlightenment, and amazing miracles. They flourished in Tibet, the Roof of the World, in its golden days. These teachers belong to the Longchen Nyingthig lineage of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, a cycle of mystical teachings revealed by the great scholar and adept Jigme Lingpa.\\nFrom the first master, Garap Dorje, to the present, each spiritual personality has his or her own distinctive role to play in this great lineage. In retelling their stories in his own words, the author has sought to bring out their inner feelings as well as their external activities: how they faced and healed physical pain, how they dealt with emotional turmoil, how they overcame spiritual or meditative illusions, and most important, what experiences they had when they awakened their own inner Buddha Mind and Buddha qualities. These biographies not only provide great sources of teachings on meditation, but will also kindle a spiritual flame in the hearts of readers.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aSqRWswZL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:35:01.339Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3682,\"isbn\":\"First Edition\",\"authors\":\"Keith Dowman\",\"title\":\"Masters of Mahamudra: Songs and Histories of the Eighty-Four Buddhist Siddhas (Suny Series in Buddhist Studies)\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Keith Dowman\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\" Hugh Downs\",\"categories\":\"\",\"description\":\"Dans l\u2019\u00E9cole Kagyu du bouddhisme tib\u00E9tain, la Lumi\u00E8re de diamant, de l\u2019\u00E9rudit et accompli Dakpo Tashi Namgyal (1513-1587), est consid\u00E9r\u00E9e comme un ouvrage de r\u00E9f\u00E9rence par tous les pratiquants et enseignants des tantras bouddhistes. \u00C0 partir des textes canoniques qu\u2019il cite abondamment, l\u2019auteur commence par poser les fondements du v\u00E9hicule adamantin en le situant dans le cadre g\u00E9n\u00E9ral de l\u2019enseignement du Bouddha et de sa diffusion en Inde.

The narrative they create is at odds with historical facts and deliberately misleading but, John Powers argues, it is widely believed by Han Chinese. Most of China's leaders appear to deeply believe the official line regarding Tibet, which resonates with Han notions of themselves as China's most advanced nationality and as a benevolent race that liberates and culturally uplifts minority peoples. This in turn profoundly affects how the leadership interacts with their counterparts in other countries. Powers's study focuses in particular on the government's \\\"patriotic education\\\" campaign-an initiative that forces monks and nuns to participate in propaganda sessions and repeat official dogma. Powers contextualizes this within a larger campaign to transform China's religions into \\\"patriotic\\\" systems that endorse Communist Party policies. This book offers a powerful, comprehensive examination of this ongoing phenomenon, how it works and how Tibetans resist it.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LNjo59ZnL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:34:59.580Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3679,\"isbn\":\"9780007129607\",\"authors\":\"Lillian Too\",\"title\":\"Mantras and Mudras: Meditations for the Hands and Voice to Bring Peace and Inner Calm\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Element Books Ltd.\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2002\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"An introduction to Buddhist mantras and mudras, used by meditators to open doors within.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=NQDtAQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:34:59.039Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3678,\"isbn\":\"904041247\",\"authors\":\"Carl G.

As a result of the impasse reached by the current theologies of religions (exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism) in formulating a constructive approach in dialogue, this volume assesses the thought of the founding fathers of an academic Buddhist-Christian dialogue in search of clues that would encourage a comparativist approach. These founding fathers are considered to be three important representatives of the Kyoto School--Kitaro Nishida, Keiji Nishitani, and Masao Abe--and John Cobb, an American process theologian. The guiding line for assessing their views of dialogue is the concept of human perfection, as it is expressed by the original traditions in Mahayana Buddhism and Orthodox Christianity. Following Abe's methodology in dialogue, an Orthodox contribution to comparative theology proposes a reciprocal enrichment of traditions, not by syncretistic means, but by providing a better understanding and even correction of one's own tradition when considering it in the light of the other, while using internal resources for making the necessary corrections.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31xk42iRRxL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:34:48.617Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3659,\"isbn\":\"034055665X\",\"authors\":\"Becker, Jasper\",\"title\":\"Lost Country: Mongolia Revealed\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Lubrecht & Cramer Ltd\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Travel/Lands and Culture\",\"description\":null,\"image\":null,\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:34:47.602Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3658,\"isbn\":\"9780861713592\",\"authors\":\"\",\"title\":\"Losing the Clouds, Gaining the Sky: Buddhism and the Natural Mind\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2007\",\"categories\":\"Dzogchen\",\"description\":\"\\\"This collection of thirty-one essays by contemporary teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, both Western teachers and Tibetan lamas, provides readers a multifaceted glimpse of the Buddhist practice within the Dzogchen tradition, from its biggest authorities.

It tells the story of her spiritual and personal odyssey, both in her homeland and in exile. Its anecdotal style presents an intensely personal portrait of a woman with astonishing courage, offering us a perspective on the suffering of the Vietnamese people. This unique autobiography tells the gripping story of a woman who not only lived but made history, and whose life of single-minded dedication to humanity can serve as an inspiration for us all. Sister Ch\u00E2n Kh\u00F4ng was born in a village on the Mekong River Delta in 1938. In her teens she devoted her life to the development and practice of nonviolence grounded in the Buddhist precepts of non-killing and compassionate action. Propelled by her passionate dedication to social change, she began working in the slums of Saigon, distributing food, working with the sick, and teaching children. When she was 21 years old she met the man who until to this day remains her teacher and spiritual companion: Thich Nhat Hanh. With him she co-founded the School of Youth for Social Service in 1964, which grew to an organization of over 10,000 young people organizing medical, educational, and agricultural facilities in rural Vietnam, and rebuilding villages destroyed in the fighting. Sister Ch\u00E2n Kh\u00F4ng became well known in the anti-war and peace community for her work promoting human rights and protesting repression and violence, often at risk of her own life. She continues to do this work today. After the war she became one of the co-founders of Plum Village, the spiritual center, that is home to Thich Nhat Hanh's community in France, where she continues to be deeply involved in the development and vision for this unique community. In January of 2005, after nearly 40 years in exile, Sister Ch\u00E2n Kh\u00F4ng was able to return on a 3-month visit to Vietnam. In this fully revised edition of Learning True Love she movingly describes the return to her homeland, the reunions with many old friends and fellow activists, and shares her impression of the \\\"new Vietnam,\\\" where Buddhists still struggle for religious freedom and the re-establishment of their own organizations. Learning True Love is a moving personal memoir, an introduction to the mindfulness teachings and life of Thich Nhat Hanh and his community in exile, an overview to the development of the European and American peace and human rights movement, and an introduction to the engaged and practical style of Vietnamese Buddhism. It documents the process that brought an end to the US Vietnam war, and gives a lively summary of Vietnamese history from 1945 to the current political, social and spiritual climate in Vietnam. Learning True Love also portraits some of the many remarkable people that shared Sister Ch\u00E2n Kh\u00F4ng 's path. Foremost however it is the remarkable and impressive story of a very courageous woman, whose journey from an accredited biologist at the University of Paris to a Buddhist nun, gives her unique insight into life's central questions and the ability to address them in an unflinching and straightforward manner.

Emptiness does not imply a nihilistic worldview, but rather the idea that a permanent entity does not exist in any single phenomenon or being. Everything exists interdependently within an immeasurable quantity of causes and conditions. An understanding of emptiness allows us to see the world as a realm of infinite possibility, instead of a static system. Just like a table consists of wooden parts, and the wood is from a tree, and the tree depends on air, water, and soil, so is the world filled with a wondrous interdependence that extends to our own mind and awareness. In lucid, accessible language, Geshe Tashi Tsering guides the reader to a genuine understanding of this infinite possibility.\",\"image\":\"https://www.lamayeshe.com/sites/default/files/20921_ng-1_crop.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:34:15.246Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3623,\"isbn\":\"2022\",\"authors\":\"Kohn, Michael\",\"title\":\"Lama of the Gobi\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"\\\"Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\" 2006\\\"\",\"categories\":\"\",\"description\":\"Before becoming the second socialist country in the world (after the Soviet Union) in 1921, Mongolia had been a Buddhist feudal theocracy. Combatting the influence of the dominant Buddhist establishment to win the hearts and minds of the Mongolian people was one of the most important challenges faced by the new socialist government. It would take almost a decade and a half to resolve the \u201Clama question,\u201D and it would be answered with brutality, destruction, and mass killings. Chris Kaplonski examines this critical, violent time in the development of Mongolia as a nation-state and its ongoing struggle for independence and recognition in the twentieth century. Unlike most studies that explore violence as the primary means by which states deal with their opponents, The Lama Question argues that the decision to resort to violence in Mongolia was not a quick one; neither was it a long-term strategy nor an out-of control escalation of orders but the outcome of a complex series of events and attempts by the government to be viewed as legitimate by the population. Kaplonski draws on a decade of research and archival resources to investigate the problematic relationships between religion and politics and geopolitics and biopolitics in early socialist Mongolia, as well as the multitude of state actions that preceded state brutality. By examining the incidents and transformations that resulted in violence and by viewing violence as a process rather than an event, his work not only challenges existing theories of political violence, but also offers another approach to the anthropology of the state. In particular, it presents an alternative model to philosopher Georgio Agamben\u2019s theory of sovereignty and the state of exception. The Lama Question will be of interest to scholars and students of violence, the state, biopolitics, Buddhism, and socialism, as well as to those interested in the history of Mongolia and Asia in general.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=T1gEEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:34:14.719Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3622,\"isbn\":\"9780006278382\",\"authors\":\"Mary Craig\",\"title\":\"Kundun\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"HarperCollins\",\"pages\":\"392\",\"year\":\"1997\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"Since 1959, when China claimed power over this tiny mountain nation, more than one million Tibetans are believed to have perished by starvation, execution, imprisonment, and abortive uprisings.

The study shows that the Karmapa\u2019s transmission strategies emphasized continuity with tradition with some openness for adaptation.

Ltd\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1990\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"The Western image of Tibet as a sacred land is in many ways a mythical construction. But the Tibetans themselves have traditionally mapped out their land in terms of areas of sacred space, and pilgrimage, ensuring a high degree of mobility within all classes of Tibetan society. Pilgrims travelled to local, regional, and national centres throughout recorded Tibetan history. In recent years, pilgrimage has resumed in areas where it had been forbidden by the Chinese authorities, and has now become one of the most prominent religious expressions of Tibetan national identity. In this major new work, leading scholars of Asian pilgrimage traditions discuss historical and contemporary aspects of pilgrimage within the Tibetan cultural world. Myths and legends, material conditions, textual sources, a modern pilgrim's impressions, political and economic influences, biographies and contemporary developments - all these and many other issues are examined here. The result is an informative and often entertaining work which contributes greatly to our knowledge of the history and culture of Tibet as well as the wider issues of religious power and practice.\",\"image\":\"https://imgs.search.brave.com/XSrkloZZEkM6tJ1CGL29M9G92f24i_4nKNNm2_J5sbA/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9tLm1l/ZGlhLWFtYXpvbi5j/b20vaW1hZ2VzL0kv/NTFIYjg3bHpkSEwu/anBn\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:34:02.062Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3600,\"isbn\":\"1891868241\",\"authors\":\"Zopa Rinpoche, Lama\",\"title\":\"Kadampa Teachings\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2010\",\"categories\":\"Lamrim\",\"description\":\"In this book Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains how to practice Dharma the way the famous Kadampa geshes did. These lamas were exemplary practitioners of Buddhism in Tibet, renowned for their extreme asceticism and uncompromising practice of thought transformation in order to develop bodhicitta. Rinpoche, an exemplar of these practices himself, bases his teachings on Lama Atisha's wonderful text, The Bodhisattva's Jewel Garland. And, as ever, Rinpoche covers a vast amount of ground, teaching on many other topics as well.

A rare example of a Buddhist drama, this work is based on a Jataka account of Prince Manicuda, a Bodhisattva destined in his next birth to become the Buddha Shakyamuni. As such, it presents the virtue of generosity raised to Bodhisattva perfection, transcending all remnants of self-interest and concerns for worldly well-being.\\n\\nThe author, Candragomin, was at once a renown Buddhist pandita and a master of drama and linguistic expression. His work, written in the classical kavya style, interweaves rich sensory images with intense feelings, using the magnetizing appeal of the emotions as a support for transcending them. Academically, this work is a study in poetic artistry and literary conventions. Experientially, it dispels emotionality by exercising the reader's capacity for feeling and directing the energy awakened toward understanding. Absorbed in the drama, the reader (or viewer) may engage the deeper dimension of giving and awaken the aspiration to emulate the Bodhisattva by developing it to the highest level of perfection.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21devAGv-FL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:34:00.843Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3598,\"isbn\":\"9788820928209\",\"authors\":\"Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue\",\"title\":\"Journeying Together, The Catholic Church in Dialog with the Religious Traditions of the World (Potifical Council for Interreligious Dialog)\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Libreria Editrice Vaticana\",\"pages\":\"135\",\"year\":\"1999\",\"categories\":\"Interfaith\",\"description\":\"\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uuBdoGyIL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:34:00.036Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3597,\"isbn\":\"9781569754795\",\"authors\":\"Gaby Naher\",\"title\":\"Journey to Tibet's Lost Lama: A Woman's Pilgrimage, the Karmapa in Exile, and the Fate of Modern Tibet\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Ulysses Press\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2005\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"Tibetan Buddhism and the politics of China and Tibet continue to fascinate Canadians.

Most prominent today in Japanese Zen, Jizo is understood to be the protector of those journeying through the physical and spiritual realms. This bodhisattva is closely associated with children, believed to be their guardian before birth, throughout childhood, and after death. Here, an American Zen master offers an engaging and informative overview of the history of this important figure and conveys the practices and rituals connected with him, including a simple ceremony for remembering children who have died. Inspired by her own personal experience with Jizo practice, Bays explains how the Buddhist teachings on Jizo can bring peace to those confronted with suffering and loss.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=rR4cBxpWPRUC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:33:57.794Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3593,\"isbn\":\"9783928396127\",\"authors\":\"Ayya Khema\",\"title\":\"Jesus Meets the Buddha\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Two Voices One Message\",\"publisher\":\"Jhana Verlag\",\"pages\":\"61\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Interfaith\",\"description\":\"Jesus Meets the Buddha: Two Voices, One Message is a book by prominent Western Buddhist nun Ayya Khema.

Jamgon Kongtrul's Retreat Manual also introduces us to one of the towering figures of nineteenth-century Tibet: Jamgon Kongtrul the Great (1813\u201399).

Who is qualified to practise it? How should it be practised? What are the results? According to Buddhism, every human being has the potential to achieve profound and lasting happiness. And according to the tantric teachings of Buddhism, this remarkable transformation can be realized very quickly if we utilize all aspects of our human energy especially the energy of our desires. Introduction to Tantra is the best available clarification of a subject that is often misunderstood. Tantra recognizes that the powerful energy aroused by our desire is an indispensable resource for the spiritual path. It is precisely because our lives are so inseparably linked with desire that we must make use of desire's tremendous energy not just for pleasure, but to transform our lives. Lama Yeshe presents tantra as a practice leading to joy and self-discovery, with a vision of reality that is simple, clear, and relevant to 21st-century life.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1385341851i/137526.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:33:53.004Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3585,\"isbn\":\"9780895818881\",\"authors\":\"Lewis R.

This subject is approached in a realistic manner whilst using historical settings to emphasise the power of the mind and the importance of training the mind to stay in the present moment. To find true happiness one needs to find the path leading to it. The principal aim of this book is to explain the practical application of Mindfulness to achieving spiritual awakening and ending suffering. This book also demonstrates the continued relevance of Buddhist teachings with regard to overcoming the psychological ramifications that obstruct the way to happiness.

The book opens with a general discussion of certain principles of tantric rituals and the foundations of Indo-Tibetan consecration. The main part focuses on a specific performance of the ritual in a Tibetan monastery located in the Kathmandu Valley. This volume contributes to the often neglected field of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist rituals.

In this history, discover the first extensive biography of the Buddha composed in the Tibetan language, along with an account of subsequent Indian Buddhist history, particularly the writing of Buddhist treatises. The story then moves to Tibet, with an emphasis on the rulers of the Tibetan empire, the translators of Buddhist texts, and the lineages that transmitted doctrine and meditative practice. It concludes with an account of the demise of the monastic order followed by a look forward to the advent of the future Buddha Maitreya. The composer of this remarkably ecumenical Buddhist history compiled some of the most important early sources on the Tibetan imperial period preserved in his time, and his work may be the best record we have of those sources today.

The book highlights the teachings of the practice lineages, the branch of Tibetan Buddhism that emphasizes meditation practice, personal experience, and spiritual realization.

This book explores the scope, contents, and significance of Nagarjuna's scriptural legacy in India and Tibet, focusing primarily on the title work. The translation of Nagarjuna's hymn to Buddha nature\u2014here called dharmadhatu\u2014shows how buddha nature is temporarily obscured by adventitious stains in ordinary sentient beings gradually uncovered through the path of bodhisattvas and finally revealed in full bloom as buddhahood. These themes are explored at a deeper level through a Buddhist history of mind's luminous nature and a translation of the text's earliest and most extensive commentary by the Third Karmapa Rangjung Dorje (1284\u20131339), supplemented by relevant excerpts from all other available commentaries. The book also provides an overview of the Third Karmapa's basic outlook, based on seven of his major texts. He is widely renowned as one of the major proponents of the shentong (other-empty) view. However, as this book demonstrates, this often problematic and misunderstood label needs to be replaced by a more nuanced approach which acknowledges the Karmapa's very finely tuned synthesis of the two great traditions of Indian mahayana Buddhism, Madhyamaka and Yogacara. These two, his distinct positions on Buddha nature, and the transformation of consciousness into enlightened wisdom also serve as the fundamental view for the entire vajrayana as it is understood and practiced in the Kagyu tradition to the present day.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=6motEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:33:42.718Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3569,\"isbn\":\"1848500432\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

The tantric paradigm for this process is the story of the Indian master Naropa (1016\u20131100), who is among the enlightened teachers of the Kagyu lineage of the Tibetan Buddhism. Naropa was the leading scholar at Nalanda, the Buddhist monastic university, when he embarked upon the lonely and arduous path to enlightenment. After a series of daunting trials, he was prepared to receive the direct transmission of the awakened state of mind from his guru, Tilopa. Teachings that he received, including those known as the six doctrines of Naropa, have been passed down in the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism for a millennium. Trungpa's commentary shows the relevance of Naropa's extraordinary journey for today's practitioners who seek to follow the spiritual path. Naropa's story makes it possible to delineate in very concrete terms the various levels of spiritual development that lead to the student's readiness to meet the teacher's mind. Trungpa thus opens to Western students of Buddhism the path of devotion and surrender to the guru as the embodiment and representative of reality.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=3G7VWwlF5hUC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:33:39.325Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3563,\"isbn\":\"9789623421652\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

One of Atisha's main accomplishments in Tibet was his writing of the seminal text, A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, in which he extracted the essence of all 84,000 teachings of the Buddha and organized them into a clear, step-like arrangement that makes it easy for any individual practitioner to understand and practice the Dharma. This genre of teachings is known as lam-rim, or steps of the path, and forms an essential part of every school of Tibetan Buddhism. In this book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama gives a commentary to not only Atisha's revolutionary work but also to Lines of Experience, a short text written by Lama Tsongkhapa, who was perhaps the greatest of all Tibetan lam-rim authors. In bringing together Atisha, Lama Tsongkhapa and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this book offers readers one of the clearest and most authoritative expositions of the Tibetan Buddhist path ever published, and it is recommended for those at the beginning of the path, the middle and the end.

It provides a new perspective on the psychological problems of hurting ourselves through misguided, exaggerated notions of self, others, events and physical things. It shows how even our senses deceive us, drawing us into unwise attachments and negative actions that can only come back to haunt us in the future. Drawing on wisdom and techniques refined in Tibetan monasteries for more than a thousand years, and adopting as its structure traditional Buddhist steps of meditative reflection, How to See Yourself As You Really Are includes practical exercises and gives readers a clear path to assess their growth and personal development. The book is enlivened throughout with warm personal anecdotes and intimate accounts of the Dalai Lama's experiences as a life-long student, a meditator, a political leader and an international figure working with other Nobel Peace Laureates to address crises around the world.

Often unnoticed, however, is the long, colorful history from which this most beloved of holy men has emerged. In Secret Lives of the Dalai Lama, Alexander Norman tells this story in full for the first time, from Tibetan Buddhism's foundational narratives to the present-day crisis faced by Tibet. And what a story it is. Along with dedicated monks selflessly serving the Tibetan people, among His Holiness's spiritual forebears there are a Dalai Lama who waged wars, a womanizing and inebriated poet, and several who wound up dead following disputes over temporal power. Also, while Western practitioners focus on Tibetan Buddhism's liberating vision of enlightenment, it simultaneously contains ritual practices of prophecy and magic, as well as a vivid pantheon of deities and demons. In the end, although Tibet falls short of the Western myths of a Himalayan utopia, by illuminating the historical struggle toward compassion and selflessness embodied in the Dalai Lama lineage, Secret Lives of the Dalai Lama ultimately reveals a reality that is vastly more compelling than any romance of \\\"Shangri-La\\\" and provides deeper reasons for admiring Tibetan tradition.\",\"image\":\"https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1408923333i/418557.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:33:31.952Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3551,\"isbn\":\"9788186239032\",\"authors\":\"Dr. C.

Combining ethnographic and oral-historical methods, she scrutinizes the interplay of political and cultural factors in the events culminating in the foundings. Her work constitutes a major advance both in our knowledge of Sherpa Buddhism and in the integration of anthropological and historical modes of analysis. At the theoretical level, the book contributes to an emerging theory of \\\"practice,\\\" an explanation of the relationship between human intentions and actions on the one hand, and the structures of society and culture that emerge from and feed back upon those intentions and actions on the other. It will appeal not only to the increasing number of anthropologists working on similar problems but also to historians anxious to discover what anthropology has to offer to historical analysis.

This book identifies the regime-sponsored, ideologically driven, and systemic destruction of books and libraries in the 20th century that often served as a prelude or accompaniment to the massive human tragedies that have characterized a most violent century. Using case studies of libricide committed by Nazis, Serbs in Bosnia, Iraqis in Kuwait, Maoists during the Cultural Revolution in China, and Chinese Communists in Tibet, Knuth argues that the destruction of books and libraries by authoritarian regimes was sparked by the same impulses toward negation that provoked acts of genocide or ethnocide. Readers will learn why some people\u2014even those not subject to authoritarian regimes\u2014consider the destruction of books a positive process. Knuth promotes understanding of the reasons behind extremism and patterns of cultural terrorism, and concludes that what is at stake with libricide is nothing less than the preservation and continuation of the common cultural heritage of the world.

Publications\",\"pages\":\"198\",\"year\":\"2009\",\"categories\":\"Mahamudra\",\"description\":\"This book main idea is that intrinsic to the heart, mind and spirit in every human being is an identical essence which can be realized. This realization makes any man or woman a Buddha. The focus of this book is the method of how to implement that through a system of training which is of timeless value, and not bound by cultural limitations. The timeless truth it conveys is as meaningful for a Westerner today as it was in India and Tibet. During the centuries this system of effortless training has been applied by people from all any occupation -- tailers and kings, monks and business men - and provided them with a simple method to not only withstand the changes of life but also to transcend them. Like the waves on an ocean, the ups and downs, joys and sorrows, we meet in our lives can be seen as movements in the ocean, giving true peace and room for caring for others. I will be hard to find another book which is as concise as Heart Lamp. The audience is the steadily increasing followers of Buddhism in the Americas, Europe and Asia, which is grown in the wake of Tibetan masters' teaching outside of Tibet. Heart Lamp is unique in that its translator worked closely with several of the most respected meditation masters of recent times and was able to receive knowledge from the \\\"lifeblood\\\" of the living tradition. Heart Lamp is unique in its brevity without losing the depth of a true spiritual lineage the training in which can bring about enlightenment in a single lifetime. And, it is being used as the textbook during meditation retreats around.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=KtbIXgOGr5AC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:33:21.844Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3536,\"isbn\":\"9781500220655\",\"authors\":\"Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche\",\"title\":\"Heart Advice: Selected Teachings from the MSB Dharma Blog\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Mangala Shri Bhunti\",\"pages\":\"130\",\"year\":\"2014\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"Within these selected teachings, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche presents his earnest and heartfelt advice.

In the shamanic worldview of Tibet, the five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space are accessed through the raw powers of nature and through non-physical beings associated with the natural world. The Tibetan tantric view recognizes the elements as five kinds of energy in the body and balances them with a program of yogic movements, breathing exercises, and visualizations. In Dzogchen teachings, the elements are understood to be the radiance of being, and are accessed through pure awareness. Healing with Form, Energy, and Light offers the reader healing meditations and yogic practices on each of these levels. Tenzin Rinpoche's purpose is to strengthen our connection to the sacred aspect of the natural world and to present a guide that explains why certain practices are necessary and in what situations practices are effective or a hindrance. And the world too is transformed from dead matter and blind processes into a sacred landscape filled with an infinite variety of living forces and beings. \\\"The secrets freely given in this volume can help us lay sound foundations for whatever yogic practice we may adopt.

So why are many of us anxious, angry, depressed? We suffer from pain, hypertension, inflammation, indigestion, insomnia, and addictions. Yet, too often we make choices that sabotage us rather than reverse what\u2019s wrong. Tibetan medicine, Tibet\u2019s ancient, comprehensive science of healing, offers effective tools for transforming suffering into health and happiness. Tibetan medicine teaches that the purpose of life is to be happy, and that after our basic needs are met, happiness results primarily from our own thinking. When challenges arise, we can wallow in negativity and get sick - or even sicker - in mind and body. Or we can decide to create health and happiness. Making positive choices won\u2019t solve every problem but will produce better results than poor or thoughtless decisions do. This unique book explains in everyday English how to use Tibetan medicine for self-care and as a complement to modern medicine. Tibetan medicine sheds light on the intricate relationship between mind and body. Each of us is born with a unique combination of energies called our constitution. Understanding our constitution empowers us to make conscious, informed decisions about our thoughts, diet, and behavior to keep our energies in balance.

The seventeenth Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is the leader of the Karma Kagyu School, one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in 1985 in eastern Tibet to nomadic parents, he was recognized as the reincarnation of the sixteenth Karmapa who passed away in the US in 1981. He became the first Tibetan reincarnation to be recognized by both the Dalai Lama and the Chinese Government. The 15-year-old monk made headlines when he escaped to India in 2000. Currently living near Dharamshala (in Himachal Pradesh, India), the Karmapa is widely seen as an important spiritual leader of the twenty-first century. Over the past decade and a half, he has grown up into a formidable leader and an impressive orator. Behind the fa\u00E7ade of scandals and controversies surrounding the Karmapa is an extraordinary young man, full of charisma and intelligence. Yet few know who the Karmapa is and what he believes in. What are his teachings and what is his vision for the world? How is he restoring his 900-year-old Tibetan Buddhist institution of which he is the head? In a unique mixture of biography, travelogue and reportage, the author brings alive the life of the Karmapa, who is grappling with immense challenges to modernize spirituality, while keeping its essence alive.

For busy practitioners, the lamrim gives a concise and easily graspable picture of the Buddhist path. Best-selling author Thubten Chodron has a unique ability to present these teachings. In this volume, she provides clear explanations of the stages of the path, while the accompanying audio program contains guided meditations on each of the topics covered in the text. The meditation teachings of lamrim, says Buddhist teacher Thubten Chodron, are like ready-made clothes that are easy to wear: they're systematized so that we can wear them right away, so we can learn and practice them in an organized fashion. Lamrim can be translated in various ways: \\\"stages of the path,\\\" \\\"steps on the path,\\\" or \\\"gradual path.\\\" \\\"Gradual path\\\" reminds us that the process of transforming the mind, unlike so many other things in our hurry-up society, is a slow and thoughtful one. These systematic teachings are the subject of this book. The lamrim presents a step-by-step method to tame the mind, and each person will find meaning and insight according to his or her level of understanding. As readers practice these meditations repeatedly, their comprehension and experience will transform and deepen, even though the words used to spark the meditation sessions remain the same. The first section of guided meditations discusses how to establish a daily practice, how to set up an altar, and how to approach the two kinds of meditation\u2014stabilizing and analytical. The second presents the meditations. The third supplies an overview, instructions for working with distractions, antidotes to mental afflictions, advice for newcomers, and suggestions on how to deepen Dharma practice. The accompanying audio program (available to eBook buyers as a free MP3 download) contains over fourteen hours of guided meditations, led by Thubten Chodron. Individuals who live far from Buddhist teachers or Dharma centers will appreciate the personal guidance offered with these meditations, enabling them to begin and continue a daily meditation practice. This is a new and expanded version of Guided Meditations on the Lam Rim, and the recording was previously published in a 14-CD format under that name.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=bLQDCwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:33:13.013Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3521,\"isbn\":\"9781899289004\",\"authors\":\"Christopher Titmuss\",\"title\":\"The Green Buddha\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Insight Books\",\"pages\":\"299\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Western Buddhism\",\"description\":\"In a bold and uncompromising enquiry, Christopher Titmuss changes the forces and influences of the ego - in personal, corporate, environmental and political life.

Thus it closes a long-standing gap in the modern scholarship on the Prajnaparamita Sutras and the literature on paths and bhumis in mahayana Buddhism.

Tiso, a noted authority on the rainbow body, explores this manifestation of spiritual realization in a wide-ranging and deeply informed study of the transformation of the material body into a body of light. Seeking evidence on the boundary between physical science and deep spirituality that might elucidate the resurrection of Jesus, he investigates the case of Khenpo A Ch\u00F6, a Buddhist monk who died in eastern Tibet in 1999. Rainbow Body and Resurrection chronicles the dissolution of Khenpo's material body within a week of his death, including eye-witness interviews. Tiso describes the spiritual practices that give rise to the rainbow body and traces their history deep into the encounter of religions in medieval Central Asia. His erudite exploration of the Tibetan phenomenon raises the fascinating question of whether there is a connection between the rainbow body and the dying and rising of Jesus. Drawing on a wealth of recent research, Tiso expands his discussion to include the contemplative geography out of which Dzogchen arose some time in the eighth century along the great Silk Road across Central Asia.

The history of Buddhist thought is a unique example of the interplay between reductionism and creativity, between conservatism and innovation, and it is the author's purpose to examine the interaction between these complementary movements. Of decisive importance in this context is the idea of \\\" mind, \\\" which Buddhism recognized early on as a process rather than a thing. This recognition marked the transition from structure-oriented thinking to a vigorous process-oriented thinking, which climaxed in the holistic movement known as rDzogs-chen. Based on original texts in the Pali, Tibetan, and Sanskrit languages, the book develops the Buddhist ideas out of the context in which they originated.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61k5z+C00lL.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:58.744Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3499,\"isbn\":\"9780340518182\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

It traces his evolution as a Tibetan Buddhist monk rooted in the Geluk tradition, as a Nobel laureate, and as an internationally recognized peacemaker. The volume brings to the fore the Dalai Lama\u2019s monastic life grounded in the compassion and ethical responsibility of a bodhisattva, somebody who is willing to renounce samsara for the benefit of others, as well as that of a political leader of Tibet. It examines the deep impact of his ideas of peacekeeping and universal responsibility on world politics, which draw on acceptance, inclusion, and respect as their central pillars. Further, this book highlights his departure from the practices of the earlier Dalai Lamas, and how the Chinese invasion and his exile in India transformed him into a universal figure of peace, rather than solely being the leader of Tibet. An introspective read, this book will be of much interest to readers interested in spiritual diplomacy and political philosophy. It will also be of interest to scholars and researchers of peace and conflict studies, international relations, politics, and religion, especially Buddhism.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=ovQCEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:56.602Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3497,\"isbn\":\"9780195151138\",\"authors\":\"Candrakirti\",\"title\":\"Four Illusions\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":\"Candrakirti's Advice for Travelers on the Bodhisattva Path\",\"publisher\":\"Oxford University Press\",\"pages\":\"240\",\"year\":\"2003\",\"categories\":\"Bodhicitta\",\"description\":\"This book provides the first English translation of Candrakirti's commentary (ca. 6-7th century C.E.) on four illusions that prevent us from becoming Buddhas.

Dharmakirti's renowned works, written in India during the philosophically rich seventh century, argue that the true test of knowledge is its efficacy, and likewise that only the efficacious is knowable and real. Around this central theme is woven an intricate web of interrelated theories concerning perception, reason, language, and the justification of knowledge. Masterfully unpacking these foundations of Dharmakirti's system, John Dunne presents the first major study of the most vexing issues in Dharmakirti's thought within its Indian philosophical context. Lucid and carefully argued, Dunne's work serves both as an introduction to Dharmakirti for students of Buddhism and a groundbreaking resource for scholars of Buddhist thought.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=qTc6AwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:53.641Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3491,\"isbn\":\"9780907325222\",\"authors\":\"Rinjing Dorje\",\"title\":\"Food in Tibetan Life\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Prospect Books\",\"pages\":\"118\",\"year\":\"1985\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"This tibetan cookbook includes text explaining the social customs and habits as they relate to foods and cooking in Tibetan life.

His own journeys heavily influenced his writings; the book is an embodiment of Byron's quest for the sublime, set against the tumultuous backdrop of the interwar period.

This exciting and critically informed volume will be the first of its kind to bring together essays that explicitly connect these two traditions and will mark a major step both in understanding race and whiteness (with the help of Buddhist philosophy) and in understanding Buddhist philosophy (with the help of philosophy of race and theorizations of whiteness). We expand upon a small, but growing, body of work that applies Buddhist philosophical analyses to whiteness and racial injustice in contemporary U.S. culture. Buddhist philosophy has much to contribute to furthering our understanding of whiteness and racial identity, the mechanisms that create and maintain white supremacy, and the possibility of dismantling white supremacy. We are interested both in the possible insights that Buddhist metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical analyses can bring to understanding race and whiteness, as well as the potential limitations of such Buddhist-inspired approaches. In their chapters, contributors draw on Buddhist philosophical and contemplative traditions to offer fresh, insightful, and powerful perspectives on issues regarding racial identity and whiteness, including such themes as cultural appropriation, mechanisms of racial injustice and racial justice, phenomenology of racial oppression, epistemologies of racial ignorance, liberatory practices with regard to racism, Womanism, and the intersections of gender-based, raced-based, and sexuality-based oppressions. Authors make use of both contemporary and ancient Buddhist philosophical and contemplative traditions.

It is the first study to combine Tibetan life-writing and biographical materials in English with a thorough examination of the transformation of Tibetan Buddhism in the modern era of globalization.

The study shows that the Karmapa\u2019s transmission strategies emphasized continuity with tradition with some openness for adaptation. His traditionalist approach and his success on the global scale challenge the popular assumption that the transmission of Buddhism is primarily a matter of Westernization, which, in turn, calls for a broader view that recognizes its complex and dynamic nature.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=UZyZEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:42.494Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3474,\"isbn\":\"9781559391702\",\"authors\":\"Kenchen Thrangu Ripoche\",\"title\":\"Everyday Consciousness and Buddha-Awakening\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion Pubns\",\"pages\":\"124\",\"year\":\"2002\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"This book is an introduction to Buddhist psychology and supplies essential instructions for successful meditation practice.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Pl4qAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:41.865Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3473,\"isbn\":\"861711068\",\"authors\":\"Gyaltso, Geshe Jampa\",\"title\":\"Everlasting Rain of Nectar: Purification Practice in Tibetan Buddhism\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Wisdom Publications\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Prayers & Sadhanas\",\"description\":\"Geshe Jampa Gyatso, a highly respected contemporary teacher, explains the daily purification practice of the 35 confession buddhas.

To followers of M\u0101dhyamika, the doctrine of emptiness is not a metaphysical theory; rather it is essentially a way of salvation.

Interspersed with the translations are six essays that examine the unusual roles the Heart Sutra has played: it has been used as a mantra, an exorcism text, a tantric meditation guide, and as the material for comparative philosophy. Taken together, the translations and essays that form Elaborations on Emptiness demonstrate why commentary is as central to modern scholarship on Buddhism as it was for ancient Buddhists. Lopez reveals unexpected points of instability and contradiction in the Heart Sutra, which, in the end, turns out to be the most malleable of texts, where the logic of commentary serves as a tool of both tradition and transgression.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+ANSFFC5L.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:27.877Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3449,\"isbn\":\"1559392592\",\"authors\":\"Geshe Sonam Rinchen\",\"title\":\"Eight Verses for Training the Mind\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2006\",\"categories\":\"Lojong/Mind Training \",\"description\":\"How do we free ourselves from the demon of self-concern?

With its belief in a personal God bestowing a particular version of 'truth', Ray Billington concludes that the universal mysticism characteristic of Eastern thought provides a more realistic and rewarding path than is commonly supposed in the West. Understanding Eastern Philosophy assumes no prior knowledge of religion or philosophy.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=dACFAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:24.636Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3443,\"isbn\":\"1854442090\",\"authors\":\"Heller, Amy\",\"title\":\"Early Himalayan Art\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Ashmolean Museum\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2008\",\"categories\":\"Art\",\"description\":\"Asian art expert Amy Heller traces the development of early religious as well as secular sculpture and artifacts from the rich legacy found in the countries of the Himalayas.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=dARcmLWKSJ0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:24.036Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3442,\"isbn\":\"140191674\",\"authors\":\"Norbu, Namkhai\",\"title\":\"Dzogchen: The Self-Perfected State\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Penguin Books\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1989\",\"categories\":\"Dzogchen\",\"description\":\"Le yantra yoga est un yoga bouddhiste qui peut \u00EAtre consid\u00E9r\u00E9 comme l'\u00E9quivalent du hatha-yoga dans la tradition indienne.

The Karmapas are distinguished by their black crowns, said to have been woven by dakinis and symbolizing the activity of the buddhas. Unlike other Tibetan Buddhist lineage heads, each Karmapa has specific knowledge of his next reincarnation and leaves behind a \\\"Last Testament,\\\" a letter to his disciples describing the place and circumstances of their future rebirth, the name of their parents, and so on. At a very young age, each successive incarnation is often able to recognize himself as the Karmapa. In their recounting of the histories of the seventeen Karmapas, the authors reveal the universal and marvelous concealed in the everyday world. Their lively account peppered with anecdotes is the most comprehensive in the West on this subject, with information from Tibetan, Chinese, Mongolian, French, and English sources.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1MFszL-pRL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:21.017Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3437,\"isbn\":\"9780719554278\",\"authors\":\"Charles Allen\",\"title\":\"Duel in the Snows : The True Story of the Younghusband Mission to Lhasa\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"John Murray Pubs Ltd\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2004\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"In December 1903 a British army marched over the Himalayas to counter a non-existent Russian threat and was confronted by a medieval Tibetan army ordered to stop it by non-violent means. It was a clash between the mightiest political power in the world and the weakest: a land of mystery locked behind the most formidable natural barriers on earth and governed by a reincarnate lama. Leading what was supposed to be a peaceful political mission was the charismatic Francis Younghusband. At his side, a group of young officers who were as eager as he to be the first Europeans in almost a century to reach Lhasa: to gaze, as one of their number put it, 'with awe upon the temples and palaces of the long-sealed Forbidden City'. But commanding the army escort was an officer determined to do things by the book: General James Macdonald, known to his troops as 'Retiring Mac'. The result was conflict at every level, with a tragic outcome that both enthralled and shocked the outside world. Drawing on diaries, letters and unpublished first-hand accounts, Charles Allen overturns this accepted view, presenting the real story of what became known to history as the Younghusband Mission. In doing so, he reveals not only the true character of one of Britain's great imperial heroes but also the calamitous outcome for the Tibetan people of Britain's last attempt at empire-building.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=PtlnQgAACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:20.530Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3436,\"isbn\":\"9788185102931\",\"authors\":\"Namkhai Norbu\",\"title\":\"Drung, Deu, and Bon\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Narrations, symbolic languages, and the Bon traditions in ancient Tibet\",\"publisher\":\"Library of Tibetan Works and Archives\",\"pages\":\"327\",\"year\":\"1995\",\"categories\":\"Bonpo\",\"description\":\"Drung, Deu and B\u00F6n offers rare opportunity to explote pre-Buddhist Tibetan culture, presented within the three categories commonly described as the foundation of the kingdom of Tibet - drung (narrations), deu (symbolic languages), and the B\u00F6n tradition.

Beginning with the colonial histories of Empire, the author draws from the 1960s Counterculture and the subsequent romanticising and idealising of the East. Cohen explores how Hindu, Buddhist and Daoist traditions have been gradually transformed into forms of Psychology, Psychotherapy and Self-Help, undergoing processes of \u2018modernisation\u2019 and secularisation until their respective cosmologies had been successfully reinterpreted and reimagined. An important component of this psychologisation is the accompanying commodification of Eastern spiritual practices, including the mass-marketing of mindfulness and meditation as part of the burgeoning well-being industry. Also presenting emerging voices of resistance from within Eastern spiritual traditions, the book ends with a chapter on Transpersonal Psychology, showing a path for how to gradually move away from colonisation and towards collaboration. Engaging with the \u2018mindfulness movement\u2019 and other practices assimilated by Western culture, this is fascinating reading for students and academics in psychology, philosophy and religious studies, as well as mindfulness practitioners.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=DeNBEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:17.933Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3432,\"isbn\":\"9780573221736\",\"authors\":\"Janice

While the Dhammapada is a collection of teachings given by the Buddha at different times and places, the effect is of a unified work. Over four hundred verses are gathered in twenty-six different themes, forming a rich pattern that interweaves variations on many of the Buddha's most essential teachings.\\n\\nAlthough the Dhammapada has been published in English in numerous publications, this particular version includes the Tibetan text on facing pages and extensive overview of over hundred Buddhist terms, a must for every student of Buddhism.

The nature of mind, self, desire, and ignorance, as well as the beauty of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are succinctly expressed in memorable verses that have been quoted by Buddhist masters for centuries. Translated from Pali to Tibetan, and from Tibetan to English. Tibetan text on facing pages,and a word list make it a resource for Tibetan language study.

Why? Because of its proven connection to performance. Tomorrow's leaders will have to be facilitators who work collaboratively to help others develop their potential, and this will require emotionally intelligent skills and attitudes. Against this landscape, Applied EI provides the tools and advice needed to develop and manage a relationship with yourself and create positive relationships with others - the twin cornerstones of emotional intelligence. We're all capable of acting with emotional intelligence. Most of us don't, because internal interferences - misguided beliefs and attitudes learnt in childhood - get in the way. Countering this, Applied EI attaches unique importance to the role of attitudes in developing and applying emotional intelligence. Tim Sparrow and Amanda Knight stress that EI isn't a synonym for personality; it's about managing personality. That's why knowing how to put EI into practice is essential. And that's why reducing EI to a single number or score misses the point, and serves only to give us another measure by which to judge ourselves and others. Anyone interested in performance improvement today needs to be interested in emotional intelligence. Applied EI shows how our attitudes underpin our EI, explores how to develop emotionally intelligence attitudes, and lays out tactics for applying them in practice. It discusses what is needed at individual, team and leadership development levels, and considers what it means to be an EI practitioner. Its practical approach and unique perspective make it a must-read for anyone involved in the field of personal development.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=_83NfpONtjIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:32:07.147Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3416,\"isbn\":\"747561826\",\"authors\":\"Goleman, Daniel\",\"title\":\"Destructive Emotions\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Bloomsbury Pub Ltd\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2003\",\"categories\":\"Psychology\",\"description\":\"Can the worlds of science and philosophy work together to recognise our destructive emotions such as hatred, craving, and delusion?

It's a challenging way to think - how can it be that the things that cause us pain are actually blessings? In Dear Lama Zopa, Rinpoche applies that challenge to our everyday, real-life problems - from the littlest to the biggest. Every year he receives thousands of letters from people around the world asking for advice - on coping with everything from addiction, grief, and depression, to war, terrorism, and death. In his detailed and deeply caring responses to these letters, reproduced here, Rinpoche shows again and again that the best method for solving our problems is to radically change the way we perceive them; that by emphasizing their inner causes we can even change the resulting outer circumstances. Even people familiar with notions like karma and reincarnation, which imply that we are the creators of our own experiences, may find the advice difficult. Yet uncountable thousands of people of all backgrounds have put Rinpoche's loving guidance into practice - and have seen real and positive change in their lives.

Based on the teaching by Garab Dorje, the first human master of the Dzogchen lineage, THE CYCLE OF DAY AND NIGHT gives a translation of the author's Tibetan Text, together with a commentary drawn from the author's extensive oral explanations. Actual methods are given for entering into contemplation and integrating it with our activities during the 24 hour cycle of day and night.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51t13Ajm7+L.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:55.961Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3399,\"isbn\":\"9782906940024\",\"authors\":\"Jamgon Kongrol Lodro Taye\",\"title\":\"Cutting Through Ego-Changing: Commentary on the Practice of Chod\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Editions Dzambala\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1988\",\"categories\":\"Kagyu\",\"description\":\"Contemporary feminist theorists have implied a special affinity between women and irony because of their \u2018double\u2019 relation to the prevailing order of things: both speak from within this order while remaining \u2018other\u2019 to it in some way. Irony can be regarded as the obvious mode in which a feminist might speak, as it reflects her relation to the patriarchal structure while refusing to validate the truth of the current sexual hierarchy. She Changes by Intrigue undertakes the first sustained analysis of the parallels between irony, femininity and feminism. By retracing the association of these terms through canonical and contemporary continental philosophy, the book seeks to illuminate a notion of sexual agency that has until now remained shadowy, in spite of its prevalence. Examining the recurrence of the \u2018ironic feminine\u2019 in texts by Kristeva, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Irigaray, Derrida and Kofman, it argues that a radical revaluation of the legacy of patriarchal thought in feminism is necessary before irony can be embraced as a feminist strategy. In this context, She Changes by Intrigue offers a new reading of what it means to write as a feminist \u2018subject\u2019. This volume will be of interest to students and academics working in the fields of gender studies, continental philosophy and critical / cultural theory.\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/inventory/31025408193.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:55.154Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3398,\"isbn\":\"9552401232\",\"authors\":\"Bhikkhu\",\"title\":\"Curbing Anger, Spreading Love\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Buddhist Publication Society\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1991\",\"categories\":\"Lojong/Mind Training \",\"description\":\"In an easy, conversational style, the author discusses 16 ways to control and overcome anger, and offers instructions on how to practice the meditation on universal love.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=aqHKF2RCGUsC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:54.402Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3397,\"isbn\":\"9780226493091\",\"authors\":\"Donald S.

The celebrated writer, scholar, mystic, painter, and poet was especially adept at translating the wisdom of one culture to another. Speaking in terms familiar to Western readers, he distills the essence of enlightenment from Eastern traditions, conveying the fundamental concepts fully and effectively. In the book's six major sections, he presents a clear explanation of pathways to assimilating meditation as reason, experience, intuition, art, contemplative thoughts, and dimensions of consciousness. Throughout the work he explores Buddhist spirituality and the basic elements of Vajrayana Meditation through methodical analogies. Specific topics and practices covered include breathing, prana, mandalas, tantric experiences, samadhi, dharma, imagination, psychic centers, mindfulness, space-time reality, enlightened awareness, and free will. This classic guide, famous for \\\"taking the mystery out of meditation,\\\" preserves the mystical appeal and beauty of personal discovery; it is an inspirational jewel for all meditation practitioners, yoga students, and those seeking spiritual knowledge.

Jean-Yves Leloup uses this metaphor to compare Buddhist and Christian approaches to meditation and compassion to reveal the similarities and divergences of these profound practices. Emphasizing their complementary nature, Leloup describes how Jesus and Buddha are necessary to one another and how together they form a complete system: Jesus as awakening through love, and Buddha as awakening through meditation. Where Buddha represents the forests, Jesus represents the trees. Buddha is brother to the universe, whereas Jesus is brother to humanity. Nevertheless, these two religious traditions have a profound common ground. Compassion is central to Buddhism, and meditation practices have been central to many Christian traditions. Both view murder, theft, and the destructive use of sexuality as great barriers to realizing our essential being, and both agree on the need to rise above them. Here, however, Leloup suggests that both faiths could benefit from the precepts of the other. The complementary aspects of Christianity and Buddhism offer the possibility for a truly profound ecumenical religion whose interfaith relations are based on deep understanding of the true meaning and practice of meditation and compassion and not merely shared goodwill.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=9F8oDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:41.795Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3377,\"isbn\":\"947948475\",\"authors\":\"Sermey Geshe Lobsang\",\"title\":\"Commentary on Guru Yoga and Offering of the Mandala\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion Publications\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1987\",\"categories\":\"Mahamudra\",\"description\":\"Two means of accumulation enlightening power.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=T9cKAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:41.183Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3376,\"isbn\":\"8170581338\",\"authors\":\"Mother\",\"title\":\"Commentaries on the Dhammapada\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1989\",\"categories\":\"Mahamudra\",\"description\":\"One of the ancient texts of the Pali Canon of Buddhism, the Dhammapada has a revered place among the scriptures.

Geoffrey Samuel argues that religion in these societies developed as a dynamic amalgam of strands of Indian Buddhism and the indigenous spirit-cults of Tibet.\\nSamuel stresses the diversity of Tibetan societies, demonstrating that central Tibet, the Dalai Lama's government at Lhasa, and the great monastic institutions around Lhasa formed only a part of the context within which Tibetan Buddhism matured. Employing anthropological research, historical inquiry, rich interview material, and a deep understanding of religious texts, the author explores the relationship between Tibet's social and political institutions and the emergence of new modes of consciousness that characterize Tibetan Buddhist spirituality. Samuel identifies the two main orientations of this religion as clerical (primarily monastic) and shamanic (associated with Tantric yoga). The specific form that Buddhism has taken in Tibet is rooted in the pursuit of enlightenment by a minority of the people - lamas, monks, and yogins - and the desire for shamanic services (in quest of health, long life, and prosperity) by the majority. Shamanic traditions of achieving altered states of consciousness have been incorporated into Tantric Buddhism, which aims to communicate with Tantric deities through yoga. The author contends that this incorporation forms the basis for much of the Tibetan lamas' role in their society and that their subtle scholarship reflects the many ways in which they have reconciled the shamanic and clerical orientations.\\nThis book, the first full account of Tibetan Buddhism in two decades, ranges as no other study has over several disciplines and languages, incorporating historical and anthropological discussion. Viewing Tibetan Buddhism as one of the great spiritual and psychological achievements of humanity, Samuel analyzes a complex society that combines the literacy and rationality associated with centralized states with the shamanic processes more familiar among tribal peoples.\",\"image\":\"https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9781560982319-uk.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:35.300Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3367,\"isbn\":\"1850652023\",\"authors\":\"Schwartz, Ronald D.\",\"title\":\"Circle of Protest: Political Ritual in the Tibetan Uprising\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"\",\"categories\":\"History\",\"description\":\"ABOUT THE BOOK:An inside look into Tibetan resistance to Chinese occupation, this book charts the emergence of nonviolent protest in the years since 1987.

This is a book offered in tribute to Jeffrey Hopkins by colleagues and former students. Hopkins has, in his several decades of work, made profound and diverse contributions to the understanding of Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism in the West. In his collaborations with the Dalai Lama, such as Kindness, Clarity, and Insight, and in books like Tibetan Arts of Love and Emptiness Yoga, Hopkins has reached out to the general reader, making the wisdom of Tibet accessible to all English speakers. Though there is never anything superficial about his work, his Emptiness in the Mind-Only School is a magisterial display of painstaking scholarly work. Changing Minds contains essays that reflect the breadth and influence of Hopkins's work. Topics presented include the two truths, the object of negation, the results of anger, the founding of the Gelug order, Bon Dzogchen, mahamudra, foundational consciousness, altruism, and adversity.

It involves the keeping of strict vows; the second day is devoted to complete silence and fasting.

Exploring the arrival of Buddhist architecture in America, the book lays out how Buddhists have expressed their spiritual beliefs in structural form in the United States. The story follows the parallel history of the religion\u2019s emergence in the United States since the California Gold Rush to the present day. Conceived of as a general history, the book investigates Buddhist structures with respect to the humanistic qualities associated with Buddhist doctrine and how Buddhist groups promote their faith and values in an American setting. The author\u2019s point of view starts from the ground floor of the buildings to move deeper into the space of Buddhist practice, the mind that seeks enlightenment, and the structures that help one to do so. It discusses Buddhist architecture in the United States in a manner consistent with the intensely human context of its use. A unique and ground-breaking analysis, this book adds to the study of Buddhist architecture in America while also addressing the topic of how and why Buddhists use architecture in general. It will be of interest to scholars of religion, architecture, space and place, U.S. history, Asian Studies, and Buddhist Studies. It will also be a valuable addition to the libraries of Buddhist communities across the United States and the world, since many of the observations about Buddhist architecture in the United States may also apply to structures in Europe and Asia.\",\"image\":\"https://cdn.webshopapp.com/shops/274939/files/375295553/thames-and-hudson-buddhist-art-and-architecture-by.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:20.110Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3342,\"isbn\":\"1559390859\",\"authors\":\"Hopkins, Jeffrey\",\"title\":\"Buddhist Advice for Living and Liberation: Nagarjuna's Precious Garland\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Snow Lion Publications\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1998\",\"categories\":\"Nagarjuna\",\"description\":\"Discover the eloquence and insight of the philosopher Nagarjuna, held by tradition to be a second Buddha, in this concise instruction for a king that is considered a masterpiece of Buddhist literature. In this profound work of five hundred verses, we encounter a presentation of Buddhism that integrates both the worldly and the transcendent. The clear and sagacious advice laid out on every page serves as a road map to one\u2019s highest goal\u2014whether that goal is a better life, here called the Dharma of ascendance, or the ultimate one of spiritual freedom, the Dharma of the highest good. The verses, written for an unnamed ruler, touch on questions of statecraft, but their broader themes speak to us today because they tackle the difficulty of integrating one\u2019s spiritual journey with the social and political demands of daily life. Nagarjuna was an Indian Buddhist teacher, probably of the second century CE, who was renowned for his astute articulation of the philosophy of the Middle Way (Madhyamaka). His thoroughgoing critique of all forms of essentialism became a touchstone for Mahayana Buddhism in India, Tibet, and throughout East Asia, and his importance for the development of the Mahayana tradition can scarcely be exaggerated. The translators here first rendered Nagarjuna\u2019s letter for the Dalai Lama\u2019s teachings on the work in Los Angeles in 1997. While that commemorative edition was translated from the Tibetan, the present volume prioritizes the surviving Sanskrit verses along with the only known Indian commentary, by the eleventh-century scholar Ajitamitra. This is the first complete translation in English of the Precious Garland that takes the Indian text and commentary as its primary authorities. In addition, the translators provide rigorous working editions of the Sanskrit and Tibetan verses they translate. This elegant and precise rendering of Nagarjuna\u2019s work is certain to become the touchstone translation of this celebrated Buddhist text.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=m4TgEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:19.516Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3341,\"isbn\":\"9780486170237\",\"authors\":\"Edward Conze\",\"title\":\"Buddhism: Its Essence and Development\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Harper Torchbook\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1952\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"The life of Siddhartha Buddha (which means 'Awakened One') is that of one who awakened from the sleep of ignorance and saw conditions as they really were.

The Essence of Buddhism provides a clear, straightforward approach to the rich traditions of the Buddhist faith and its ideological foundations.

Strung in 500 quatrains, the book is presented in five chapters, each shedding light on concepts and realities such as life, death, beauty, love, power, and virtue. It also provides deep philosophical insight into relevant Buddhist views of Karmic causality, impermanence, emptiness, relativity or interdependence, and Nirvana. More importantly, it delineates Nagarjuna\u2019s quintessential Madhyamaka philosophy, which remained a central philosophy theme in various Buddhist traditions for centuries. The book is intended at helping readers develop a healthy outlook to life, spirituality and practice. Carry a universal message, the book, originally composed for a king, will serve as an effective advice manual for those in responsible positions of power and also those bound by a sense of civic duty. Set in bilingual format, the book contains a new Tibetan rendition of the text drawn primarily from its five major editions -- Derge, Chone, Narthang, Peking and Zhol -- with a lightly annotated English translation that opts literally over readability\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=XetDEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:12.758Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3329,\"isbn\":\"9780060730574\",\"authors\":\"Steve Hagen\",\"title\":\"Buddhism Is Not What You Think\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Finding Freedom Beyond Beliefs\",\"publisher\":\"HarperCollins\",\"pages\":\"255\",\"year\":\"2003\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"What is Buddhism? In Buddhism is Not What You Think Steve Hagen, bestselling author of Buddhism Plain and Simple and a Zen priest, cuts through the many misconceptions surrounding Buddhism, and shows us its true purpose. Drawing on down-to-earth examples from everyday life, this practical and straightforward guide penetrates the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of the Buddha's teachings: How can we see the world in each moment, rather than merely as what we think, hope, or fear it is? How can we base our actions on reality? How can we live lives that are wise, compassionate, open and honest? What can it bring to our lives? This book offers a profound and clear path to a life of joy and freedom.\",\"image\":\"https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th/id/OIP.XCYdM9uBroyi1fxkccfNGAAAAA?cb=defcachec2&pid=Api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:12.028Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3328,\"isbn\":\"9780691044415\",\"authors\":\"Edited by Donald S.

Most of these pieces have never before been translated into a Western language, and each is preceded by a substantial introduction by its translator. Together they are designed to do nothing less than reshape the way in which Buddhism is understood. These unusual sources provide the reader with a sense of the remarkable diversity of the practices of persons who over the course of 2,500 years have been identified, by themselves or by others, as Buddhists. In this rich variety, there are often contradictions, such that the practices of one Buddhist community might seem strange or unfamiliar to another. At the same time, however, there is evidence here of many continuities among the practices of Buddhist cultures widely separated by both history and topography. From \\\"A Hymn of Praise to the Buddha's Good Qualities\\\" through \\\"On Becoming a Buddhist Wizard\\\" to \\\"Death-Bed Testimonials of the Pure Land Faithful,\\\" the selections here are an ideal introduction to Buddhism and a source of new insights for scholars.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719oojwGxBL._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:11.497Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3327,\"isbn\":\"691000158\",\"authors\":\"Kenneth

Press\",\"pages\":\"299\",\"year\":\"1994\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"Taking language as its general theme, this book explores how the tradition of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist philosophical speculation exemplifies the character of scholasticism.\\n\\nScholasticism, as an abstract and general category, is developed as a valuable theoretical tool for understanding a variety of intellectual movements in the history of philosophy of religion. The book investigates the Buddhist Scholastic theory and use of scripture, the nature of doctrine and its transcendence in experience, Mahayana Buddhist hermeneutics, the theory and practice of exegesis, and questions concerning the authority of sacred texts. It also deals with the Buddhist Scholastic theory of conceptual thought as the mirror of language, the Scholastic defense of logic and rationality as a method, as well as the role of language in the idealist and nominalist ontologies of the Mahayana. Finally, the author treats the question of ineffability and the silence of the Buddha from a new perspective.\",\"image\":\"https://archive.org/services/img/buddhismlanguage0000cabe/full/pct:200/0/default.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:06.806Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3320,\"isbn\":\"9780791414040\",\"authors\":\"Rita M.

The author completes the Buddhist historical record by discussing women, usually absent from histories of Buddhism, and she provides the first feminist analysis of the major concepts found in Buddhist religion. Gross demonstrates that the core teachings of Buddhism promote gender equity rather than male dominance, despite the often sexist practices found in Buddhist institutions throughout history.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=4jg6EB--upsC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:06.300Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3319,\"isbn\":\"809310716\",\"authors\":\"Jacobson, Nolan Pliny\",\"title\":\"Buddhism & the Contemporary World: Change and Self-Correction\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Southern Illinois University Press\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1982\",\"categories\":\"Western Buddhism\",\"description\":\"From its origins in India over two millennia ago, Buddhism spread throughout Asia and the world.

More Than A Million People Have Died As A Result. An Ancient Culture With Its Buildings, Literature, And Artifacts Has Been Largely Destroyed. In Kham, Eastern Tibet, In Particular, Where People Retained The Warrior-Like Qualities Of Old, Groups Of Men Banded Together To Oppose The Chinese By Force&. And I Am Glad That Mikel Dunham Has Been Able To Tell These Brave Men S Story In This Book, Much As They Told It To Him. His Holiness The Dalai Lama, From The Foreword In The Last Sixty Years, Tibet Has Been So Mythologized And Politicized That The Outside World Remains Confused About What Really Happened When Mao Tse-Tung Invaded In 1950. Buddha S Warriors Is The Story Of The Tens Of Thousands Of Tibetans Who Violently Resisted The Bloody Occupation Of Their Country And The Desecration Of All That Was Holy To Them. From The Farthest Reaches Of Tibet Kham, Amdo And Golok The Most Feared Tribes In Asia Mounted Their Warhorses And Rode Together For The First Time In History. By Their Side Were Thousands Of Buddhist Monks Who Renounced Their Vows Of Nonviolence, Grabbed Swords, And In The Name Of Freedom Charged Into Enemy Lines. Tibet S Only Source Of Outside Help Came From A Small Group Of Cia Agents, Who Secretly Trained And Armed The Freedom Fighters. Author Mikel Dunham Spent Seven Years Interviewing The Warriors Who Fought The Chinese, Collecting Stories That Otherwise Would Have Been Lost To History. He Also Befriended The Cia Officers Who Trained The Young Tibetans. These Firsthand Accounts Bring Faces And Deeply Personal Emotions To The Forefront Of The Ongoing Tragedy Of Tibet. Buddha S Warriors Is A Sweeping History Of A Nation And An Ancient Culture Under Siege. The Saga Of The Tibetan Resistance Movement Is One Of Brave Soldiers And Cowardly Traitors, Courage Against Repression, Buddhism Against Atheism, And, Ultimately, Of What Happens To An Isolated Civilization When It Is Thrust Almost Overnight Into The Horrors Of Modern-Day Warfare.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=P4Is51bwMAEC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:03.270Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3314,\"isbn\":\"460872079\",\"authors\":\"Ling, Trevor\",\"title\":\"Buddha's Philosophy Man (Everyman's Library)\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Everyman Paperbacks\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1993\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"The total number of Everyman's Library volumes that still survive somewhere in the world exceeds 70 million. Since the inception of the Library in 1906, nearly 1200 unique volumes have been published, constantly placing the world's greatest books before a large public. A few of these titles proved unpopular and were never reprinted. But most were reprinted dozens of times, packaged in numerous ways, and benefited from updated editorial work and book design over the last century. Terry Seymour has studied and researched every aspect of this great mass of books. He now captures and distills this knowledge in A Printing History of Everyman's Library 1906-1982. A critical feature, of course, is to update the various collecting factoids that have emerged since 2005 when his Guide to Collecting Everyman's Library was published. The meat of the new book, however, is the Bibliographical Entries section. Each volume that has ever been printed receives its own entry, detailing every printing, each dust jacket variation, any new introductions, updated scarcity numbers, and all relevant notes. Typically an entry contains at least six lines of information, but often much more. In essence, each entry is a story written exclusively about each volume. Armed with this resource, collectors and booksellers can know reliably everything about the Everyman's Library volume that sits on their shelf or is ready to be purchased or sold. They will see how a book fits into the total printing history of that title, and be able to describe and value the book with precision. To further enhance the value of this book, color images illustrate all of the key collecting points. An extensive index of editors, translators and artists is now included. Not just a solo effort, the Printing History has been vetted by other expert collectors, ensuring greater accuracy and comprehensiveness.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=DbUp4qfbE_sC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:02.609Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3313,\"isbn\":\"913546615\",\"authors\":\"Robinson, James B.\",\"title\":\"Buddha's Lions: The Lives of the Eighty-Four Siddhas (Tibetan Translation Series)\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Dharma Publishing\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1979\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":null,\"image\":null,\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:01.765Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3312,\"isbn\":\"9781572246959\",\"authors\":\"Rick Hanson\",\"title\":\"Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"New Harbinger Publications\",\"pages\":\"251\",\"year\":\"2009\",\"categories\":\"Psychology\",\"description\":\"Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Gandhi, and the Buddha all had brains built essentially like anyone else's, yet they were able to harness their thoughts and shape their patterns of thinking in ways that changed history.\\n\\nWith new breakthroughs in modern neuroscience and the wisdom of thousands of years of contemplative practice, it is possible for us to shape our own thoughts in a similar way for greater happiness, love, compassion, and wisdom.\\n\\nBuddha's Brain joins the forces of modern neuroscience with ancient contemplative teachings to show readers how they can work toward greater emotional well-being, healthier relationships, more effective actions, and deepened religious and spiritual understanding. This book will explain how the core elements of both psychological well-being and religious or spiritual life-virtue, mindfulness, and wisdom-are based in the core functions of the brain: regulating, learning, and valuing. Readers will also learn practical ways to apply this information, as the book offers many exercises they can do to tap the unused potential of the brain and rewire it over time for greater peace and well-being.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HRDPPk5oL._SL1000_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:31:00.812Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3311,\"isbn\":\"500810389\",\"authors\":\"Shearer, Alistair\",\"title\":\"Buddha: The Intelligent Heart (Art & Imagination)\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Thames & Hudson\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1992\",\"categories\":\"Art\",\"description\":\"Cette pr\u00E9sentation enti\u00E8rement nouvelle, propos\u00E9e par l'auteur d'Un Bouddhisme moderne, offre au lecteur contemporain des conseils et des prises de conscience profond\u00E9ment lib\u00E9rateurs.

The first chapter illuminates the doctrines and methods common to all schools and draws out the transcendental unity of Buddhism. Later chapters discuss the teachings and practices of the different schools. The concluding chapter is dedicated to the bodhisattva ideal, 'the perfectly ripened fruit of the whole vast tree of Buddhism'. Sangharakshita's beautiful prose, shot through with poetry, combines with an exceptional clarity of thought to make the Survey one of the most inspiring elucidations of the Dharma.The Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path: Vision and Transformation looks at one of the best known formulations of the Buddha's teaching. We are led step by step from the mundane world to the transcendental, from wrong view to right view, and on to Perfect Vision. A practical perspective shows how we can apply the Buddha's teachings to all aspects of our lives, including the food we eat, our relationships and our work. Sangharakshita goes on to make clear the real meaning of mindfulness and meditation, thus giving the reader both a vision of the whole path and guidance in setting out upon it.This volume includes a full section of endnotes locating the teachings to the suttas and sAtras that inspired them, as well as a Foreword by Dharmachari Subhuti looking at these two texts from an inspirational and a critical perspective, and bringing out the inner connection between them.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=LupdDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:30:58.428Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3309,\"isbn\":\"9787286015249\",\"authors\":\"David Seyfort Ruegg\",\"title\":\"Buddha-Nature, Mind and the Problem of Gradualism \",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"On the Transmission and Reception of Buddhism in India and Tibet\",\"publisher\":\"School of Oriental and African Studies \",\"pages\":\"217\",\"year\":\"1989\",\"categories\":\"Buddhist Philosophy\",\"description\":\"Extensive typological and structural studies in Indian religions and philosophies, or in the traditions of Buddhism, have been few.

The earliest Buddhist art of Sanchi and Bharhut is aniconic : The Buddha is represented in symbols only. In the later Buddhist art of Gandhara and Mathura, the Buddha is represented in human form: he is the principal subject of sculptural art. The book seeks to explore the geographical area in which the image of the Buddha first emerged and whether the Buddhist doctrines-Hinayana or Mahayana-had anything to do with this transformation. The Buddha image, as developed eventually at Sarnath, became the model for the Buddha images in whole of Asia, south-east, central and eastern Asia. The iconographic features of the Buddha image are superficially an aberration, being in apparent conflict with the doctrine. The Buddha had cut off his hair at the time of his renunciation; the rules of the order enjoin that a monk must be tonsured and must discard and eschew all riches. However, in his images, the Buddha has hair on his head; later he is also endowed with a crown and jewels. After an exhaustive examination of the views of various scholars, the book answers these questions and resolves the controversies on the basis of literary, numismatic and epigraphic sources. More importantly it makes use of the valuable evidence from the contemporaneous Jaina art : Aniconism of early Jaina art and the iconographic features of Jaina images. The implications of this study are also important : Does India owe idolatry to Buddhism? Was this of foreign inspiration? Was the Buddha image fashioned after the Vedic Brahma and whether the Buddha's usnisa and Buddhist art motifs are rooted in the Vedic tradition? The book is profusely illustrated and provides rich and stimulating fare to students of Indian art in general and of Buddhist art in particular.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=kDyJh--iaL0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:30:53.108Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3302,\"isbn\":\"9780753813409\",\"authors\":\"Karen Armstrong\",\"title\":\"Buddha\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Pheonix\",\"pages\":\"193\",\"year\":\"2002\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"With such bestsellers as A History of God and Islam , Karen Armstrong has consistently delivered \\\"penetrating, readable, and prescient\\\" ( The New York Times ) works that have lucidly engaged a wide range of religions and religious issues.

The Earth's thousands of sacred sites hold a secret: they are functional parts of the planet's geomantic body, consciousness nodes in the Earth's subtle body. Each veils a Light temple, each once known widely and remembered in myth, and Welcome to Your Designer Planet! documents 165 different kinds.

The mechanisms by which alterations cause neuronal death, new therapeutic approaches and the latest evidence of a possible de novo neurogenesis in the SNc are reviewed and singled out in different chapters. This book bridges basic science and clinical practice and will prepare the reader for the next few years, which will surely be eventful in terms of the progress of dopamine research.\",\"image\":\"https://http2.mlstatic.com/D_NQ_NP_827347-MLB83100445557_032025-O.webp\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:30:43.439Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3286,\"isbn\":\"856680826\",\"authors\":\"Aris, Michael\",\"title\":\"Bhutan\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Aris & Phillips\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"1979\",\"categories\":\"Tibet\",\"description\":\"Contributed articles presented at an international seminar, April 1993; predominantly on social and economic conditions.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=m8U94l6xHlYC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:30:41.696Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3285,\"isbn\":\"9781573228152\",\"authors\":\"Jamie Zeppa\",\"title\":\"Beyond the Sky and the Earth: A Journey into Bhutan\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Riverhead Books\",\"pages\":\"303\",\"year\":\"1999\",\"categories\":\"Travel/Lands and Culture\",\"description\":\"Jamie Zeppa was 24 when she left a stagnant life at home and signed a contract to teach for two years in the Buddhist hermit kingdom of Bhutan.

The ritual focuses on living within the mandala of Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, and becoming inseparable from the Guru in his Eight Manifestations. The root text is from the terma tradition of Chhimed Rigdzin Lama (C. R. Lama), one of the great Nyingma lamas of the modern period. The text is given in Tibetan, with pronunciation (for reciting) and each verse is translated, with commentary. It can be used as a meditation practice text for those wishing to do so.\\n\\nJames Low's overall commentary is based on an edited transcript of various talks and is offered as a way for western people to engage with tantric practice. The text itself is from the Nyingmapa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and is a treasure text (or terma) revealed by Nuden Dorje, a 19th century terton of whom C. R. Lama was a recognised incarnation. James Low first translated it with C. R. Lama in the 1970's and it became the most frequently practised larger text amongst his students.\\n\\nThis ritual text is very important and powerful because of the depth of its content and the shortness of its lineage, in other words, its closeness to Padmasambhava, the root of all the Nyingma lineages.\\n\\nFor those in any tradition of Tibetan Buddhism the commentary illuminates how symbolism is used as a method of transforming samsara into nirvana. Transformation is the distinctive method of tantra.

The poem has been translated into clear and simple language, which maintains the beauty of the original Pali while making the work accessible to the English-speaking world. The book has also been provided with 30 very fine illustrations which help bring the story alive.

For years he wandered as a homeless ascetic, practicing severe austerities that brought him to the brink of death but no nearer to his goal. He then abandoned asceticism for a \\\"middle way.\\\" Sitting down under a tree, he vowed to remain there until he realized the truth.

It can ruin families, wreck one's health, destroy peace of mind and, at its worst, lead to murder, genocide, and war.\\nIn Anger, Robert A. F. Thurman, best-selling author and one of America's leading authorities on Buddhism and Eastern philosophy, offers an illuminating look at this deadliest of sins. In the West, Thurman points out, anger is seen as an inevitable part of life, an evil to be borne, not overcome. There is the tradition of the wrathful God, of Jesus driving the money-changers from the temple. If God can be angry, how can men rid themselves of this destructive emotion? Thurman shows that Eastern philosophy sees anger differently. Certainly, it is a dreadful evil, one of the \\\"three poisons\\\" that underlie all human suffering. But Buddhism teaches that anger can be overcome. Indeed, the defeat of anger is not only possible, but also the only thing worth doing in a lifetime. Thurman shows how to recognize the destructiveness of anger and understand its workings, and how we can go from being a slave to anger to becoming \\\"a knight of patience.\\\" We discover finally that when this deadliest emotion is transmuted by wisdom, it can become the most powerful force in freeing us from human suffering.\\nDrawing on the time-tested wisdom of Buddhism, Robert A. F. Thurman ranges from the individual struggle with anger to global crises spurred by dogmatic ideologies, religious fanaticism, and racial prejudice. He offers a path of calm understanding in a time of terrorism and war.\",\"image\":\"https://global.oup.com/academic/covers/pdp/9780195169751\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:30:18.697Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[{\"id\":57,\"user_id\":\"RqXXHpb9jR1zYgQjqufcfiBDQzgzsW4K\",\"book_id\":3251,\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2026-07-05T13:59:18.524Z\"},\"returned\":null,\"notifications\":0,\"last_notification\":null,\"renewal_notified\":false}]},{\"id\":3250,\"isbn\":\"9780712611817\",\"authors\":\"Thich Nhat Hanh\",\"title\":\"Anger: Buddhist Wisdom for Cooling the Flames\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"\",\"publisher\":\"Random House\",\"pages\":\"227\",\"year\":\"2001\",\"categories\":\"Other Buddhist Traditions \",\"description\":\"Mindfulness recognizes anger, is aware of its presence, accepts and allows it to be there.\\nIn this transformative book, world renowned spiritual leader Thich Nhat Hanh shares wisdom and practical advice to teach you how to transform your relationships, focus your energy and rejuvenate the parts of yourself that have been lost to anger.

With wit, gentle good sense and with penetrating insight, the Dalai Lama shows how the truths that have stood the test of generations of practise can provide us with the tools to live happy, fulfilled and meaningful lives.

In keeping with the liberative thrust of early Buddhism, this system organizes the entire spectrum of human consciousness around the two poles of Buddhist doctrine - bondage and liberation, Samsara and Nirvana - the starting point and the final goal. It thereby maps out, with remarkable rigour and precision, the inner landscape of the mind to be crossed through the practical work of Buddhist meditation. In this book of groundbreaking essays, Venerable Nyanaponika Thera, one of our age's foremost exponents of Theravada Buddhism, attempts to penetrate beneath the formidable face of the Abhidhamma and to make its principles intelligible to the thoughtful reader of today. His point of focus is the Consciousness Chapter of the Dhammasangani, the first treatise of the Abhidhamma Pitaka. Basing his interpretation on the detailed list of mental factors that the Abhidhamma uses as a guide to psychological analysis, he launches into bold explorations in the multiple dimensions of conditionality, the nature of consciousness, the temporality of experience, and the psychological springs of spiritual transformation. Innovative and rich in insights, this book does not merely open up new avenues in the academic study of early Buddhism. By treating the Abhidhamma as a fountainhead of inspiration for philosophical and psychological inquiry, it demonstrates the continuing relevance of Buddhist thought to our most astute contemporary efforts to understand the elusive yet so intimate nature of the mind.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=VXT7ZuLq0qoC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:30:01.447Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3225,\"isbn\":\"9781897633175\",\"authors\":\"Nina Van Gorkom\",\"title\":\"Abhidhamma in Daily Life\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Triple Gem Press\",\"pages\":\"256\",\"year\":\"1997\",\"categories\":\"Abhidharma\",\"description\":\"Abhidhamma in Daily Life is an exposition of absolute realities in detail.

A Modern Buddhist Bible is the first anthology to bring together the writings from Buddhists, both Eastern and Western, that have redefined Buddhism for our era.\\nForging a universal doctrine from the divergent traditions of China, Sri Lanka, Japan, Burma, Thailand, and Tibet, the makers of modern Buddhism saw it as a return to the origin, as renowned scholar Donald Lopez shows. Modern Buddhism is for them a homeward journey to the vision of Buddha himself. Putting far more stress on meditation and spirituality than on ritual and relics, it embraces the ordination of women and values of science, social justice, tolerance, and individual freedom.\\nA Modern Buddhist Bible includes writing by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, T'ai Hsu, Cheng Yen, Shaku Soen, D.

Unwin\",\"pages\":\"226\",\"year\":\"1983\",\"categories\":\"Lamrim\",\"description\":\"This book contains a lost Stages of the Path (Lamrim) work composed by the originator of the genre, Atisa, one of the greatest Indian Buddhist masters to ever set foot in Tibet. Nearly a millennium ago, the great Indian Buddhist master Atisa Dipamkarasrij\u00F1ana (ca. 982\u20131054) wrote a guidebook for realizing all the stages to awakening at the repeated request of his closest Tibetan disciple. Atisa is famously the author of the Lamp for the Path to Awakening (Bodhipathapradipa), a short work in verse, but this longer prose work has been virtually unknown, even in Tibet\u2014until now. Atisa\u2019s Stages of the Path Awakening (Bodhipathakrama), translated here, synthesizes all aspects of Buddhist practice, from the very beginning of the path\u2014reflecting on the fortunate opportunity of human rebirth\u2014up through to attaining omniscient buddhahood by nondual meditation. The Indian master\u2019s faithful disciple Dromt\u00F6npa kept these teachings secret, and they were only transmitted to select disciples in a closely guarded transmission, but the lineage died out centuries ago, after Dromt\u00F6npa\u2019s Kadam school was eclipsed by history. Now this significant work of Buddhist path literature has become available owing to recently recovered manuscripts of the Kadampas. This book offers a study and complete translation from the Tibetan of this monument of guidance on the Buddhist path accompanied by the commentaries and ritual texts that were transmitted alongside Atisa\u2019s text. Apple\u2019s substantial introduction includes a structural comparison with Atisa\u2019s famous work, charts the transmission lineage for the present work before it died out, and explores various hypotheses for why their fates diverged. Recovered from the contingencies of history, this book brings to life one of the most holistic and integrated approaches to the highest realizations of the Indian Buddhist path ever transmitted in Tibet.\",\"image\":\"https://archive.org/services/img/lampforpathcomme0000atis\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:29:43.303Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3200,\"isbn\":\"9781844130481\",\"authors\":\"Andrew Harvey\",\"title\":\"A Journey in Ladakh\",\"copies\":2,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Rider\",\"pages\":\"236\",\"year\":\"1983\",\"categories\":\"Travel/Lands and Culture\",\"description\":\"Now considered a classic among readers interested in Tibetan Buddhism and pilgrimages of the spirit of all kinds, A Journey in Ladakh is Andrew Harvey's spiritual travelogue of his arduous journey to one of the most remote parts of the world--the highest, least populated region in India, cut off by snow for six months each year.

Wherever he travels, he cuts across religious, national and political barriers and reaches the hearts of human beings. He truly cares for people everywhere, and everything he does is for the sake of achieving peace on this planet. What he says in A Human Approach to World Peace is not complicated or even unusual. In fact, it is almost radical in its simplicity. He feels that science and technology are indeed remarkable but alone are not enough to bring progress and contentment. We are all members of the same human family, and unless we develop a sense of universal responsibility and learn to see each other as brothers and sisters, there can never be world peace. And, above all, His Holiness urges world leaders to meet in this way. \u2018We need a revolution,\u2019 he says \u2018in our commitment to humanitarian values.\u2019\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71arMO5lYBL._SL1111_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:29:41.831Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3197,\"isbn\":\"9781783529308\",\"authors\":\"David Lascelles\",\"title\":\"A Hare-Marked Moon: From Bhutan to Yorkshire: The Story of an English Stupa\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Unbound\",\"pages\":null,\"year\":\"2021\",\"categories\":\"Tibetan Buddhism\",\"description\":\"In the spring of 2004, David Lascelles invited a group of monks from Bhutan to build a stupa in the gardens of Harewood House in Yorkshire. It was a step into the unknown for the Bhutanese. They didn\u2019t speak any English, had never travelled outside their own culture, had never flown in an airplane or seen the ocean. Theirs was one kind of journey, but the project was also another kind of voyage for David. It was an attempt to reconcile a deep interest in Buddhism with the 250 years that his family has lived at Harewood, the country house and estate \u2013 with its links to one of the darkest chapters in Britain\u2019s colonial past \u2013 that he has loved, rejected, tried to make sense of and been haunted by all his life. In Buddhist thought, one of the functions of a stupa is to harmonise the environment in which it is built and subdue the chaotic forces at work there. Would this stupa have a similar effect, quelling the forces of Harewood\u2019s past and harmonising the contradictions of its present? A Hare-Marked Moon tells the story behind the extraordinary meeting of cultures that resulted in the Harewood Stupa, interspersed with accounts of David\u2019s travels in the Himalayas which delve into the rich and turbulent history of the region, and the beliefs that have shaped it.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=DCIsEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:29:40.543Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3196,\"isbn\":\"9788186470046\",\"authors\":\"Dratshdpa Richen Namgyal, Translated by Hans van den Bogaert\",\"title\":\"A Handful of Flowers: A Brief Biography of Buton Rinchen Drub\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Library of Tibetan Works and Archives\",\"pages\":\"76\",\"year\":\"1996\",\"categories\":\"Biography\",\"description\":\"This condensed biography was composed in praise of Buton Rinchen Drub, one of Tibet's most outstanding scholars, who lived from 1290 to 1364.

In his encounters with everyone from the inhabitants of shantytowns in S\u00E3o Paulo and Soweto to heads of state in Davos and Washington D.C., the Dalai Lama saw similar problems: a set of values that have helped the very rich to advance beyond the multitudinous poor, a disregard for the environment that could lead to global catastrophe and governments in paralysis, bereft of positive, progressive policies of any sort.\\n\\nNow, as he turns eighty, having built up a profound knowledge of the world we live in today, as well as a penetrating grasp of its scientific context, the Dalai Lama gives us his vision for a better future. Challenging what he sees as a general mixture of cynicism and self-interest, he offers a radically different perspective and a vision that can be assimilated by people around the globe. From cultivating early on a capacity for caring that transcends religious, ideological and national boundaries, to creating an economic system that applies principals of fairness and which values fulfilment, his argument focuses on what is urgent and why it should matter to each of us.\\n\\nIn his unique manifesto, the Dalai Lama presents perspective on the world that can bring hope to millions, that will endure beyond the present day and that has the potential to reshape humanity as we know it.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hsfVuPKZL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:29:37.721Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3191,\"isbn\":\"9780877739715\",\"authors\":\"H.H.

To this end, they must renounce all self-centered goals and consider only the well-being of others. The bodhisattvas' enemies are the ego, passion, and hatred; their weapons are generosity, patience, perseverance, and wisdom. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama is considered to be a living embodiment of this spiritual ideal. His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama presents here a detailed manual of practical philosophy, based on The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara), a well-known text of Mahayana Buddhism written by Shantideva. The Dalai Lama explains and amplifies the text, alluding throughout to the experience of daily life and showing how anyone can develop bodhichitta, the wish for perfect enlightenment for the sake of others.

To achieve a better understanding of the universe of ideas, activities, and institutional structures within which early self-proclaimed bodhisattvas lived, the author first considers the Ugra as a literary document, employing new methodological tools to examine the genre to which it belongs, the age of its extant versions, and their relationships to one another. She goes on to challenge the dominant notions that the Mahayana emerged as a \\\"reform\\\" of earlier Buddhism and offered lay people an \\\"easier option.\\\" A Few Good Men will be compelling reading for scholars and practitioners alike and others interested in the history of Indian Buddhism and the formation of Mahayana.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=kl9RXSmfeZ0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:29:35.395Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3189,\"isbn\":\"9780349406275\",\"authors\":\"Thubten Jinpa\",\"title\":\"A Fearless Heart: Why Compassion is the Key to Greater Wellbeing\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Piatkus Books\",\"pages\":\"290\",\"year\":\"2015\",\"categories\":\"Beginners Books \",\"description\":\"'[A] timely book on compassion and its cultivation' The Dalai Lama 'The bravest, cleverest and most engaging book I know on why we need to cultivate compassion' Jon Kabat-Zinn 'A practical toolkit for becoming a better human being' Daniel Goleman Self-compassion is the overlooked key to achieving our goals. It can lead to increased happiness, stress reduction, a stronger sense of purpose, better health and a longer life. Yet many of us resist compassion, worrying that if we are too compassionate with others we will be taken advantage of and if we are too compassionate with ourselves we won't achieve our goals in life. Using the latest science, psychology (from contemporary Western and classical Buddhist sources) as well as stories from others and his own extraordinary life, Jinpa shows us how to train our compassion muscle. His powerful programme, derived from his remarkable course in Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT), is the perfect guide to achieving a greater sense of wellbeing.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=M1PXBAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:29:34.629Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3188,\"isbn\":\"9780791407295\",\"authors\":\"Jose Ignacio Cabezon\",\"title\":\"A Dose of Emptiness\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"An Annotated Translation of the sTong thun chen mo of mKhas grub dGe legs dpal bzang\",\"publisher\":\"State University of New York Press\",\"pages\":\"590\",\"year\":\"1992\",\"categories\":\"Emptiness\",\"description\":\"This book is an annotated translation of one of the great Tibetan classics of Mahayana Buddhist thought, mKhas grub rje's sTong thun chen mo. The text is a detailed critical exposition of the theory and practice of emptiness as expounded in the three major schools of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy: the Yogacara, Svatantrika, and Prasangika. Used as a supplement to the scholastic debating manuals in some of the greatest monasteries of Tibet, the sTong thun chen mo is a veritable encyclopedia of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, dealing with such topics as hermeneutics, the theory of non-duality, the linguistic interpretation of emptiness, the typology of ignorance, logic, the nature of time, and the perception of matter across world spheres. This book is an indispensable source for understanding the Tibetan dGe lugs pa school's synthesis of the Middle Way (Madhyamaka) and Epistemological (Pramanika) traditions of Indian Buddhism. In addition, it is an unprecedented source for the philosophical polemics of fifteenth century

Eihei Dogen: Mystical Realist is a comprehensive introduction to the genius of this brilliant thinker. This thirteenth-century figure has much to teach us all and the questions that drove him have always been at the heart of Buddhist practice.\\n\\nAt the age of seven, in 1207, Dogen lost his mother, who at her death earnestly asked him to become a monastic to seek the truth of Buddhism. We are told that in the midst of profound grief, Dogen experienced the impermanence of all things as he watched the incense smoke ascending at his mother's funeral service. This left an indelible impression upon the young Dogen; later, he would emphasize time and again the intimate relationship between the desire for enlightenment and the awareness of impermanence. His way of life would not be a sentimental flight from, but a compassionate understanding of, the intolerable reality of existence.\\n\\nAt age 13, Dogen received ordination at Mt. Hiei. And yet, a question arose: \\\"As I study both the exoteric and the esoteric schools of Buddhism, they maintain that human beings are endowed with Dharma-nature by birth. If this is the case, why did the buddhas of all ages - undoubtedly in possession of enlightenment - find it necessary to seek enlightenment and engage in spiritual practice?\\\" When it became clear that no one on Mt. Hiei could give a satisfactory answer to this spiritual problem, he sought elsewhere, eventually making the treacherous journey to China. This was the true beginning of a life of relentless questioning, practice, and teaching - an immensely inspiring contribution to the Buddhadharma.\\n\\nAs you might imagine, a book as ambitious as Eihei Dogen: Mystical Realist has to be both academically rigorous and eminently readable to succeed. Professor Hee-Jim Kim's work is indeed both.\",\"image\":\"https://archive.org/services/img/eiheidogenmystic0000kimh\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:29:28.386Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3180,\"isbn\":\"9788120801622\",\"authors\":\"Mark Mac Dowell\",\"title\":\"A Comparative Study of the Teachings of Don Juan and Madhyamaka Buddhism\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":\"Knowledge and Transformation\",\"publisher\":\"Motilal Banarsidass\",\"pages\":\"116\",\"year\":\"1981\",\"categories\":\"Western Buddhism\",\"description\":\"The publication of Carlos Castaneda`s works on the teachings of Don Juan, a Yaqui Indian seer, was a momentous event in the history of esoteric literature. At the time of their publication, the author was engaged in the study of Indian philosophy, with special reference to the Madhyamaka Buddhism, as formulated and expounded by Nagarjuna. The author was struck by the profound similarities between the teachings of Don Juan and Nagarjuna--in particular concerning Samvrti and Paramartha of Madhyamaka and the Tonal and Nagual of Don Juan and the concept of categorical frameworks. This recognition on his part prompted him to compose the present work. The author has chosen to write in a manner and style intelligible to the non-specialiist and yet an inquiring reader. The essential unity of human experience is clearly demonstrated by the fact that human beings widely separated in space, time, language and culture, discern, at their wisest, the same fundamental truths concerning man and the world.\",\"image\":\"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618d5i3Xo1L._SY522_.jpg\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:29:27.717Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3178,\"isbn\":\"9781590303382\",\"authors\":\"Thinley Norbu\",\"title\":\"A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar\",\"copies\":1,\"subtitle\":null,\"publisher\":\"Shambhala\",\"pages\":\"312\",\"year\":\"2006\",\"categories\":\"Nyingma\",\"description\":\"Like a spontaneous cascade of wisdom nectar, the open and natural words of Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, uncomplicated by scholarly elaboration, flow here in the tradition of the direct transmissions of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the past.

Special emphasis is placed on the potential pitfalls, and the marvelous benefits, of the guru-disciple relationship.\",\"image\":\"http://books.google.com/books/content?id=WzAtDQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api\",\"created\":{\"$date\":\"2025-05-20T14:29:24.280Z\"},\"last_borrowed\":null,\"checkouts\":[]},{\"id\":3173,\"isbn\":\"9780007179039\",\"authors\":\"H.H.
