Mipham's Sword of Wisdom

Its core subject is the Buddhist view of the two truths—the relative truth of conventional appearances and the absolute truth of emptiness and buddha nature—and how the two truths are inseparable.

Beloved master, visionary, poet, and revealer of profound spiritual treasures, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche was a paramount figure in the history of twentieth-century Tibet. He worked closely with H.H. the Fourteenth Dalai Lama to reinvigorate Tibetan culture and spiritual practice following the loss of their homeland.

He wrote over two dozen volumes of poetry, music, history, philosophy, and most importantly revealed and restored sacred termas of Guru Rinpoche. In addition, he assembled and published ...
The Dark Red Amulet
The Dark Red Amulet presents the Vajrayana practice of Vajrakilaya according to the oral transmission lineage of the great seventeenth-century treasure-revealer Tsasum Lingpa. Vajrakilaya embodies the enlightened activity of all the buddhas that subjugates delusion and negativity in order to clear obstacles to spiritual practice. The essential purpose of Vajrakilaya practice is to discover the absolute vajra nature that will transform every duality hindrance into clear wisdom and compassion. In this text, the renowned scholars and meditation masters Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche present the history of this lineage and the miraculous story of how Tsasum Lingpa revealed this terma teaching. Their line-by-line commentary on the short and condensed sadhanas provides an invaluable guide for practitioners to combine the skillful means of compassion and wisdom that are the foundation of Tibetan Buddhism.
Key to Opening the Wisdom Door of Anuyoga
"By engaging the Anuyoga teachings a practitioner discovers the "three vajra states of the buddha": (1) vajra body, (2) vajra speech, and (3) vajra mind. If we discuss the three vajra states as something external, when the form aggregate of earth is purified-along with water-that is known as the "vajra body." When fire and wind are purified, that is known as "vajra speech." And when the sky and mind are purified, that is known as "vajra wisdom mind." Having reached enlightenment through the techniques of Anuyogatantra, a practitioner achieves the very same realization and qualities of Buddha Shakyamuni, as explained in the general Mahayana teachings."
The Buddhist Path
An accessible and practical introduction to Tibetan Buddhism as practiced in the Nyingma or 'ancient' tradition, The Buddhist Path presents for us the proper way of cultivating intellect and heart so that our true nature can manifest. The authors provide clear explanations and methods that reveal how the mind functions and what its essence, our primordial nature, is. They impart detailed instructions on how to meditate, using methods ranging from generating calm abiding to the tantric techniques of visualization, mantra, and formless meditation.
Uprooting Clinging
For most people ego is the most important thing in the world, so it's imperative to understand its nature. A thorough investigation reveals it to be a mere conceptual idea that exists only as a thought whose nature is constant change.When ego-clinging is loosened there is a natural openness, freedom, and relaxation that allows love and compassion to arise. As attachment is removed, love and compassion radiate out very easily, without effort.Using analytic meditation to look closely at ego-clinging is so important because it establishes a foundation upon which there can be proper development. Any progress made without this foundation will eventually collapse. The definitive understanding established by analytic meditation is to not be attached to any aspect of reality. Arriving at the state of awareness that is beyond attachment causes us to perceive everything as being in transit, moving, changing, and only manifestingon a temporary basis. Relaxing in the momentary manifestation ofphenomena is meditation. To experience all of samsara in its momentary state makes our mind very strong and courageous, so it can approach any situation fearlessly.
