My Crazy Tale: His Holiness
Progress in life has to be made on both the spiritual and mundane fronts. One has to be aware of every action in daily life from drinking tea, eating food, the way one relates with other human beings and animals, to dealing with the ecological environment. Self-development is the main goal of our life.
A True-Life Story of a Child from Tö
As many would posit that a distorted historical account can represent its period and witness the historical events. This concise historical account is about the catastrophe of a race amidst tremendous sufferings and difficulties. This book provides a vivid account of hundreds and thousands of Tibetans in the alien land, left with only the earth and the sky as the familiar things, and how every Tibetan in their own capacity have courageously stood from where they had fallen. The book also deals considerably with some crucial official responsibilities the author has taken, ranging from communicator to foreign aid agencies, establishment of new settlement, security to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and His representative, selection and sending of Tibetans to the west and initiate the concept of a reserve fund. The author has also worked as Election Commissioner and Chairman of Public Service Commission. His life reflects vividly the transformation and progress of exile democracy. I sincerely request people to read his enriching personal life account of an important figure in the recent Tibetan history. Ngedon Gyatso

Footprints on the Journey
Inspiring diary entries from a challenging year in the life of the renowned Dzogchen master Khenpo Sodargye demonstrate right conduct for the path to liberation. This personal diary that the renowned Dzogchen master Khenpo Sodargye kept for one year gives serious Dharma practitioners a lifetime of inspiring, wise guidance for practicing right conduct on the path. The backdrop is the Tibetan plateau, from which Khenpo invites us to see the world—from native people to a spider, from vast galaxies to a water droplet—as he does, with candor and humor, and with a Dzogchen master’s sharp analysis. He shares with us his perceptions of this world, describing his ups and downs in a way that we can relate to and be inspired by, even if we do not have the fortitude to stand up to the oppression of crustaceans or to ransom yaks from the slaughterhouse. Spontaneous and lively, the entries play out the vicissitudes of his life throughout a challenging year, tracking the passage of his thoughts and actions, leaving footprints for whoever is able to follow.
The Nature of Mind
From the author of Words of My Perfect Teacher comes this commentary on the teachings of Aro Yeshe Jungne—an insightful introduction to Dzogchen meditation, the Nyingma tradition, and the basics of Buddhism Patrul Rinpoche, the beloved nineteenth-century master best known for Words of My Perfect Teacher, collected the teachings of the tenth-century adept Aro Yeshe Jungne and synthesized them into the short text translated here as Clear Elucidation of True Nature. How to put these essential teachings into practice is the subject of the lively commentary by the two Khenpo brothers, the late Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche. The Dzogchen meditation instructions of the Aro lineage are divided into nine sets, or nine levels, with specific instructions for each on how to identify the nature of the mind, how to abide in it as a way of life, and how to liberate turbulent thoughts and emotions when they arise. The commentary enfolds this instruction into a broad general teaching suitable for beginners that serves as an introduction to Dzogchen meditation, to the Nyingma tradition, and to basic Buddhism.
The Royal Seal of Mahamudra, Volume Two
The concluding volume of a Tibetan meditation classic for realizing our buddha nature. This second and final volume of a treasured meditation manual outlines the major teachings and practices of the Tibetan Mahamudra tradition. This esoteric tradition focuses on the realization of our minds as naturally pristine and clear as a direct means to true awakening. While part one focuses on the basic practices of calm abiding (shamatha) and insight (vipashyana), the second volume explains how Mahamudra is pointed out and cultivated, how to overcome obstacles to meditation, and how buddhahood is ultimately attained. Refreshingly readable and concise, this volume is a source of inspiration for practitioners and anyone wishing to learn about the tradition of Mahamudra.
The Life of Shabkar

With determination and courage, he mastered the highest and most esoteric practices of the Tibetan tradition of the Great Perfection. He then wandered far and wide over the Himalayan region expressing his realization. Shabkar's autobiography vividly reflects the values and visionary imagery of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the social and cultural life of early nineteenth-century Tibet.
