Book Synopsis Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment by : Atisha
Download or read book Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment written by Atisha and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atisha's most celebrated text sets forth the entire Buddhist path Atisha, the eleventh-century Indian Buddhist scholar and saint, came to Tibet at the invitation of the king of Western Tibet, Lha Lama Yeshe Wo, and his nephew, Jangchub Wo. His coming initiated the period of the second transmission of Buddhism to Tibet, formative for the Sakya Kagyu and Gelug traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Atisha's most celebrated text, Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, sets forth the entire Buddhist path within the framework of three levels of motivation on the part of the practitioner. Atisha's text thus became the source of the lamrim tradition, or graduated stages of the path to enlightenment, an approach to spiritual practice incorporated within all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

Book Synopsis Illuminating the Path to Enlightenment by : His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Download or read book Illuminating the Path to Enlightenment written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and published by Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About one thousand years ago, the great Indian pandit and yogi, Dipamkara Shrijnana (Atisha), was invited to Tibet to re-establish the Buddhadharma, which had been suppressed and corrupted for almost two centuries. 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. 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.

Book Synopsis The Lamp for Integrating the Practices (Caryamelapakapradipa) by : Aryadeva
Download or read book The Lamp for Integrating the Practices (Caryamelapakapradipa) written by Aryadeva and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential tantric text on the practice of advanced yoga in tantric Buddhism. The Lamp for Integrating the Practices (Caryamelapakapradipa) is a systematic and comprehensive exposition of the most advanced yogas of the Esoteric Community Tantra (Guhyasamaja-tantra) as espoused by the Noble (Nagarjuna) tradition, an influential school of interpretation within the Mahayoga traditions of Indian Buddhist mysticism. Equal in authority to Nagarjuna's famous Five Stages (Pañcakrama), Aryadeva’s work is perhaps the earliest prose example of the “stages of the mantra path” genre in Sanskrit. Its systematic path exerted immense influence on later Indian and Tibetan traditions, and it is widely cited by masters from all four major lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. This volume presents the Lamp in a thoroughly annotated English translation. It includes an introductory study discussing the history of the Guhyasamaja and its exegetical traditions, surveying the scriptural and commentarial sources of the Nagarjuna tradition, and analyzing in detail the contents of the Lamp. The book also features a detailed, trilingual glossary. Simultaneously presented online for scholars are a version of its Sanskrit original, critically edited from recently identified manuscripts, and a critical edition of the eleventh-century Tibetan translation by Rinchen Zangpo, including notes on readings found in “lost,” alternative translations.

Book Synopsis A Lamp to Illuminate the Five Stages by : Je Tsongkhapa
Download or read book A Lamp to Illuminate the Five Stages written by Je Tsongkhapa and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tsongkhapa's A Lamp to Illuminate the Five Stages (1419) is a comprehensive presentation of the highest yoga class of Buddhist tantra, especially the key practices - the so-called five stages (pancakrama) - of the advanced phase of Guhyasamaja tantra. Beginning with a thorough examination of the Indian sources, Tsongkhapa draws particularly from the writings of Nagarjuna, Aryadeva, Candrakirti, and Naropa to develop a definitive understanding of the Vajrayana completion stage. Whereas in the generation stage, meditators visualize the Buddha in the form of the deity residing in a mandala palace, in the completion stage discussed in the present volume, meditators transcend ordinary consciousness and actualize the state of a buddha themselves. Among other things, Tsongkhapa's work covers the subtle human physiology of channels and winds along with the process of dying, the bardo, and rebirth. This definitive statement on Guhyasamaja tantra profoundly affected the course of Buddhist practice in Tibet.
Book Synopsis Lighting the Lamp Within by : Jyoti Sondhi
Download or read book Lighting the Lamp Within written by Jyoti Sondhi and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-10-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary personal story of spiritual awakening by an ordinary housewife, with spiritual insights for everyday people, A simple yet profound shift in consciousness is the way to light your spiritual lamp within, says Jyoti Sondhi in 'Lighting the Lamp Within'. This is the Light that all religious and spiritual traditions speak of, that shines away confusion, delusion, and suffering. Jyoti has glimpsed it. Chances are, you have too. Jyotis journey is a personal one, and now she shares the lessons she learned on her own path with you, the seeker. She succeeds in bridging the gap between dogmatic religious beliefs, and spiritual wakefulness that now informs her life. Why look to external power, ego and pleasures to feel complete when you are already infused with the energy of love? she asks. Jyoti discusses potent practices and realizations that can help change fears to love, obstacles to stepping-stones, and emptiness to completion. In so doing, and in just humbly letting be, she provides a roadmap to joyous reconnection with our true identity in the One Presence. So why attend to the unflashy thoughts of an ordinary housewife, who found herself graced by a spiritual awakening? The answer is: precisely because it is so ordinary, so personally accessible and affecting. Jo- Ann Langseth, independent reviewer
Book Synopsis The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Volume 1) by : Tsong-kha-pa
Download or read book The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Volume 1) written by Tsong-kha-pa and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of the 15th-century spiritual classic that condenses Buddhist teachings into one easy-to-follow meditation manual The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Tib. Lam rim chen mo) is one of the brightest jewels in the world’s treasury of sacred literature. The author, Tsong-kha-pa, completed it in 1402, and it soon became one of the most renowned works of spiritual practice and philosophy in the world of Tibetan Buddhism. Because it condenses all the exoteric sūtra scriptures into a meditation manual that is easy to understand, scholars and practitioners rely on its authoritative presentation as a gateway that leads to a full understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. Tsong-kha-pa took great pains to base his insights on classical Indian Buddhist literature, illustrating his points with classical citations as well as with sayings of the masters of the earlier Kadampa tradition. In this way the text demonstrates clearly how Tibetan Buddhism carefully preserved and developed the Indian Buddhist traditions. This first of three volumes covers all the practices that are prerequisite for developing the spirit of enlightenment (bodhicitta).
