Padma Sambhava Libros

"El libro tibetano de los muertos” o “Bardo Thödol”, también conocido por los budistas como “La gran liberación por la audición en el estado intermedio”, es una de las escrituras espirituales y religiosas tibetanas de mayor influencia en el mundo occidental debido a sus indagaciones psicológicas sobre el proceso de la muerte. Compuesto en el siglo VIII d. de C., por Padma Sambhava, gurú reconocido por llevar el budismo al Tíbet, su intención es la de guiar al alma por el sendero de la iluminación trascendental. En sus páginas se muestran las diversas manifestaciones que aparecen en la conciencia del difunto cuando abandona su cuerpo: miedo, dolor, apego, pasión, dependencia, rencor, ambición, odio, futilidad, comodidad, placer, entre otras. Reconociendo dichas manifestaciones, estaremos preparados para el viaje al más allá, y podremos entender la verdadera naturaleza del ser y alcanzar el estado de iluminación, tanto en esta existencia como en la venidera."--Back of cover

“ Don’t mistake mere words to be the meaning of the teachings. Mingle the practice with your own being and attain liberation from samsara right now.”PadmasambhavaPadmasambhava is the primary master of Vajrayana, the teachings for our time. Out of his great compassion and wisdom, he instructed his main disciple Yeshe Tsogyal to conceal terma treasures to be revealed at the destined time for future practitioners. The profundity of this advice is meant to be personally applied by all individuals in all circumstances. It is a classic work, which contains valid truth for anyone who sincerely wants to follow a spiritual path.“The chief compiler of Padmasambhava’s teachings was Yeshe Tsogyal, an emanation of a female Buddha. There may be some people who believe that only men can attain enlightenment, but her life is proof to the opposite. The awakened state of mind is neither male or female.”Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, from Introductory Teachings

Padmasambhava, the Indian mystic and tantric Buddhist master, is second only to Buddha Shakyamuni as the most famous personage in the Tibetan tradition of Buddhism. In the ninth century, he made the journey across the Himalayan Mountains to establish Buddhism for the people in that country. Now, more than 1,000 years later, we are able to hear and be touched by his voice as contained within this collection of oral advice. Sometimes with humor, sometimes with biting sarcasm, Dakini Teachings covers a wide range of instructions. Given not only to the king of Tibet but also to uneducated people, it is a classic work of valid truths for anyone who sincerely wants to follow a spiritual path in every walk of life.

The Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice known as Dzogchen is a pragmatic method for getting in touch with the pure, clear awareness that is hidden under our constant flow of anxious thoughts. Dzogchen Essentials makes available the methods to meet and utilize this rich spiritual path.Marcia Binder Schmidt, a long time, close attendant to one of the foremost Dzogchen Masters of the last century, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, has put together the most comprehensive and accessible collection of the essential instructions vital to this subject. She has organized them into a handbook for the genuine trainee of this tradition. The book includes a useful preface an introductory teaching by a leading Dzogchen Master as well as classical and original pieces that impart crucial explanations. This is a book for the layperson as well as the scholar.For centuries, Dzogchen has been a secretly held and privately transmitted teaching, which was unknown beyond the confines of Tibetan culture. But that changed in the final decades of the last century, as many Tibetans saw the long-awaited unfolding of a famous ninth-century "When the Dark Age is rampant, the Dzogchen teachings will blaze like wildfire."

A perfect companion to the well-known Tibetan Book of the Dead .In life and in death, in meditation and in sleep, every transitional stage of consciousness, or bardo, provides an opportunity to overcome limitations, frustrations, and fears. The profound teachings in this book provide the under- standing and instruction necessary to turn every phase of life into an opportunity for uncontrived, natural liberation.Like the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Natural Liberation is a terma, a "hidden treasure" attributed to the eighth-century master Padmasambhava. Gyatrul Rinpoche's lucid commentary accompanies the text, illuminating the path of awakening to the point of full enlightenment. Natural Liberation is an essential contribution to the library of both scholars and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.

A core text of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, presented in English for the first time, with commentary by Jamgön Mipham, one of the Nyingma tradition's most lucid and brilliant minds.A concise commentary by the eighth-century Indian Buddhist master Padmasambhava on a chapter from the Guhyagarbha Tantra , which gives an overview of the different Buddhist and non-Buddhist philosophical views, including the Great Perfection (Dzogchen), with an explicative commentary by the nineteenth-century scholar Jamgön Mipham (1846-1912). Padmasambhava's text is a core text of the Nyingma tradition because it provides the basis for the system of nine vehicles (three sutra vehicles and six tantra vehicles) that subsequently became the accepted way of classifying the different Buddhist paths in the Nyingma tradition. Mipham's commentary is the one most commonly used to explain Padmasambhava's teaching. Mipham is well known for his prolific, lucid, and original writings on many subjects, including science, medicine, and philosophy, in addition to Tibetan Buddhist practice and theory.

This translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead emphasizes the practical advice that the book offers to the living. The insightful commentary by Chögyam Trungpa, written in clear, concise language, explains what the text teaches us about human psychology. This book will be of interest to people concerned with death and dying, as well as those who seek greater spiritual understanding in everyday life.

This final, public section of The Light of Wisdom, Volume III, Teachings on the Secret Empowerment, is once again a compilation of three (1) Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo (The Gradual Path of the Wisdom Essence), a terma root text recorded by Yeshe Tsogyal and revealed in unison by Chokgyur Lingpa and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo; (2) The Light of Wisdom, a commentary on the Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo by Jamgon Kongtrul the Great; (3) Entering the Path of Wisdom, notes on these teachings collected by Jokyab Rinpoche. These teachings on tsa lung practice, channels, wind-energies, and essences (bindus) is kept secret like the name of the empowerment itself that authorizes the practitioner to engage in these trainings. After reviewing the material and discussing with one of my teachers, both of us fully aware of the constraints, I felt it best to share this volume with sincere Western practitioners who will need and benefit from these teachings.

Tybetańska księga umarłych to starożytny, buddyjski tekst, który traktuje o naturze umysłu i jego przejawach doświadczanych jako obiektywie istniejące światy. Szczegółowo opisuje on wizje, które pojawiają się po śmierci, gdy świadomość nie jest już dłużej związana z ciałem. Tybetańska księga umarłych uczy jak rozpoznawać owe wizje, dzięki czemu możliwe jest nawet osiągnięcie stanu oświecenia. Dlatego też tekst Tybetańskiej księgi umarłych czyta się na głos umierającym jako pomoc w rozpoznaniu doświadczanych wówczas wizji i osiągnięciu wyzwolenia. Przekład Tybetańskiej księgi umarłych został dokonany z języka tybetańskiego przez Ireneusza Kanię, wybitnego tłumacza i tybetologa, który jest również autorem Wprowadzenia poprzedzającego jej tekst. Ten klasyczny, buddyjski tekst przynosi nie tylko objaśnienie fundamentalnych fenomenów śmierci i umierania; może on także zainteresować tych wszystkich, którzy poszukują głębszego, duchowego zrozumienia naszej codziennej egzystencji.
