The Three Principles of the Path
The Three Principles of the Path was written by Je Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), one of the greatest lamas in the history of Tibet. In fourteen stanzas, the entire path to enlightenment is explained, summarized in three main features, i.e the need for a determination to be free, the need to develop altruism and insight in the true nature of reality. Gelek Rimpoche’s commentary is both practical and modern, revealing the deeper layers of this poetic text together with tips on how to meditate on its meaning.
Karma
Does karma leave any room for self-determination, or are we totally at the mercy of fate? Does personal responsibility exist, or is even that an illusion? These are questions rising when discussing karma. Also in the West there has always been a notion of the interdependence of deeds and their results, reflected in some of our sayings: As you sow, so shall you reap Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind Nobody pushes your button except you yourself. Gehlek Rinpoche, using four different characteristics explains how the law of karma works within the individual. In that, the part that ego plays, and our habitual patterns are central issues, rendering the key to freedom from (pre)-determination. The theme is clarified by lovely stories from the Indian and Tibetan tradition.

The Four Mindfulnesses
THE FIRST EXTENSIVE COMMENTARY TO BE GENERATED IN ENGLISH ON A TEACHING DELIVERED BY MANJUSHRI TO TSONGKHAPA For generations, The Four Mindfulnesses—of guru, bodhimind, divine body and emptiness—were taught only orally. The First Panchen Lama and Seventh Dalai Lama provided written texts, on which both of them Gelek Rimpoche has taught. The result is a rare combination that illuminates topics so central to practice. Born in Lhasa, Tibet, in 1939, bestselling author and internationally renowned Tibetan Lama Kyabje Gelek Rimpoche brings his traditional Buddhist training into strong dialogue with science, psychology, medicine, metaphysics, politics and the arts; he skillfully addresses the ...
Karma Actions and Their Results
Does karma leave any room for self-determination, or are we totally at the mercy of fate? Does personal responsibility exist, or is even that an illusion?

Foundation of All Perfections
The Foundation of All Perfections course explores the sequence of stages on the spiritual path, from the role of a guru to a practical introduction to vajrayana. Based on Gelek Rimpoche’s latest transcript of oral teachings on this often quoted work of the lam rim tradition, this course offers intimate access to the material through explanation, meditation and discussion.
Lam Rim Volume 3
Lam Rim 3 Volume 3 introduces the medium scope of the spiritual path, aligned with Buddha’s famous Four Noble Truths: ordinary life is in nature suffering, there are specific causes for that suffering, these can be eliminated, and one can follow a reliable method and arrive at liberation, the state free of suffering. Lam Rim, the graduated path – or roadmap – to enlightenment, is a foundational teaching of Tibetan Buddhism, outlining the progression of spiritual practices needed to attain full enlightenment, by breaking it down into three scopes: initial, medium and Mahayana. Based on the Liberation in the Palm of your Hand, an oral teaching by the famous Pabongka Rinpoche, Gelek Rimpoche, with characteristic wit and humor, lays out the path in easy-to understand every day terms – a lam rim teaching for our times.
