The late Zong Rinpoche was famous among Buddhists for his teachings on Chod, a system for working with our fears. This is the first book published of this well-known lama's teaching.
Geshe Thubten Soepa offers a detailed explanation of what Shakyamuni Buddha said about eating meat as presented in the Buddhist sutras of the Hinayana and Mahayana vehicles including tantra. The explanation begins with an extensive look at the various sutras in which the Buddha discusses why Buddhists should not eat animals, includes a question and answer section addressing topics such as tantric practice questions and whether animal owners should neuter their animals and ends with a discussion of why eating meat or otherwise exploiting animals is completely contrary to the core Buddhist practice of compassion. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, read through Geshe Soepa's expla...

Tsem Rinpoche lived a fascinating and extraordinary life that took him, bizarrely, from Taiwan to New Jersey, then on to Los Angeles, India, and Malaysia. At times he seemed blessed and, at other times, he seemed cursed, yet he never wavered from his spiritual calling to bring Buddhist truth to the world. If you think you know what an incarnate lama is like, you'll be amazed by Tsem Rinpoche. In this revealing book, we tell his unique and intriguing story
LYWA director Nick Ribush writes: The story behind this book is that in the early Kopan Monastery courses, Lama Zopa Rinpoche would start his day’s teachings by quoting a verse from Shantideva’s or Khunu Lama Rinpoche’s seminal texts, giving a short teaching on it and then suggesting that students use it to generate a bodhicitta motivation for the day’s activities (mainly teachings, meditations and discussion groups but also ordinary activities such as eating, talking, walking around and so forth). Since those days I’ve always thought that a compilation of these short teachings would make a great book, and finally, here it is. Editor Gordon McDougall has assembled Rinpoche's teachi...
BIOGRAPHY OF PAL GYALWA DOKHAMPA KHAMTUL RINPOCHE FROM 1ST TO 9TH.
Biography of Gelukpa lama Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, 1905-1984.
The ultimate destination on a spiritual journey is enlightenment—the state of all-knowing. However, Buddhism believes in attaining enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings, to forget the self and only live to cherish the other. This obviously involves training the mind to live with this enlightenment. But how can one go about even beginning to train one's mind in this direction? Considering the kind of world we live in—the overdose of information coupled with unprecedented stress—thinking spiritually is almost a necessity today. In The Three Scopes, Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche highlights the importance of attaining Buddhahood and talks about how one can go about attaining it. Another essay in the series of teaching sessions that took place at the Tushita Mahayana Meditation Centre in New Delhi, this simple guide will help anyone thinking about commencing their spiritual journey.
Pabongka Rinpoche was one the twentieth century's most charismatic and revered Tibetan lamas, and in Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand we can see why. In this famous twenty-four-day teaching on the lamrim, or stages of the path, Pabongka Rinpoche weaves together lively stories and quotations with frank observations and practical advice to move readers step by step along the journey to buddhahood. When his student Trijang Rinpoche first edited and published these teachings in Tibetan, an instant classic was born. The flavor and immediacy of the original Tibetan are preserved in Michael Richards' fluid and lively translation, which is now substantially revised in this new edition.
