NgalSo for Newcomers
Ngalso Tantric Self Healing is a meditation practice in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition presented to us by Tibetan Healing Lama T.Y.S Lama Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche. The ideal way to learn and study this practice is in the company of an experienced teacher, however, in our busy modern world, this is not always possible. The practice has, therefore, been made available to follow on DVD and CD and this book is designed to accompany either of these. Ngalso for Newcomers provides a basic introduction to Buddhism and Tantric Self Healing and accompanies the reader step by step through the practice. Ngalso Self Healing involves two simultaneous processes: Ngal (eliminating negativities) and So (crea...
Tibetan Buddhism in Diaspora
The imperialist ambitions of China – which invaded Tibet in the late 1940s – 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 U...

Borobudur
A spiritual journey with Lama Gangchen through the flower-fields of love, compassion, harmony and joy Centuries ago in Java, Indonesia there was a king from the Sailendra dynasty, who called an architect, Gunadharma, to build an improbable construction. Hundreds of artists and workers may have taken three generations to realise Borobudur. The temple then saw the light only for a short period before being overwhelmed by volcanic lava, ash and jungle vegetation. A thousand years later the temple, which in fact is a three dimensional mandala, was excavated and restored in phases. Scientists and scholars continue to debate the meaning of the five Dhyani Buddhas and of the thousands of statues, i...
Historicizing "Tradition" in the Study of Religion
This collection of essays analyzes ‛tradition’ as a category in the historical and comparative study of religion. The book questions the common assumption that tradition is simply the “passing down” or imitation of prior practices and discourses. It begins from the premise that many traditions are, at least in part, social fabrications, often deliberately serving particular ideological ends. Individual chapters examine a wide variety of historical periods and religions (Congolese, Buddhist, Christian, Confucian, Cree, Esoteric, Hawaiian, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, New Religious Movement, and Shinto). Different sections of the book consider tradition's relation to three sets of issues: legitimation and authority; agency and identity; modernity and the West.
Blessings from Beijing
As we approach the sixtieth anniversary of China’s 1959 invasion of Tibet—and the subsequent creation of the Tibetan exile community—the question of the diaspora’s survival looms large. Beijing’s foreign policy has grown more adventurous, particularly since the post-Olympic expansion of 2008. As the pressure mounts, Tibetan refugee families that have made their homes outside China—in the mountains of Nepal, the jungles of India, or the cold concrete houses high above the Dalai Lama’s monastery in Dharamsala—are migrating once again. Blessings from Beijing untangles the chains that tie Tibetans to China and examines the political, social, and economic pressures that are threat...
