Only the Impossible is Worth Doing
Only the Impossible is Worth Doing is a biography of a revered master of Vajrayana Buddhism, eminent humanitarian and profound innovator in the fields of psychotherapy and medicine. Choje Akong Tulku Rinpoche brought immense benefit to the world. After a dramatic escape from his homeland of Tibet in 1959, Rinpoche established and became the spiritual leader of Kagyu Samye Ling, Europe’s first Tibetan Buddhist monastery. From there his activity flourished and gave rise to remarkable projects across the globe. After Rinpoche’s sudden and tragic passing in 2013, a conference was held at the University of Oxford to commemorate his life and achievements. The event was presided over by Khenpo Tsultrim Lodro Rinpoche, one of the most renowned lamas and scholars of Larung Gar Buddhist Institute in the Tibetan highlands. The speakers were individuals responsible for upholding Akong Tulku Rinpoche’s projects and activities around the world. This book is the outcome of the conference, illustrating the life story of a truly compassionate leader of our time.

Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior
The classic guide to enlightened living that first presented the Buddhist path of the warrior to Western readers—with a new foreword and cover presentation. There is a basic human wisdom that can help solve the world’s problems. It doesn’t belong to any one culture or region or religious tradition—though it can be found in many of them throughout history. It’s what Chögyam Trungpa called the sacred path of the warrior. The sacred warrior conquers the world not through violence or aggression but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. The warrior discovers the basic goodness of human life and radiates that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. That’s what the Shambhala teachings are all about, and this is the book that has been presenting them to a wide and appreciative audience for more than thirty years.
