From the author of How Yoga Works, a delightful adventure tale of yoga and the ancient wisdom behind it. Friday is a young girl who lives in a tiny nomad village high in the Himalayan plains, a thousand years before our time. Yoga is just starting to reach Tibet from India, and is strictly forbidden for women. In fact, so are books—and learning to read or to write. Friday’s uncle Jampa is a quiet, wise Buddhist monk who gives classes to young monks who walk from the local monastery to his beautiful yurt, secluded within the mountains. Why does he live so alone? Why doesn’t he stay with the other monks? Uncle has a secret. Friday grows up watching Uncle teach her dear brother Tenzing the deepest knowledge of the ancient books, as he trains to become a Geshe, or Master. She secretly watches the Wisdom Warriors of the monastery at night, as they tear apart beautiful ideas, leaping in the wild dance of a debater monk. Friday hatches a daring plan to become the first woman in a thousand years to break into this secret society of wisdom and yoga. How could it ever come true? Will she succeed?
The Eastern Path to Heaven
Geshe Michael Roach and Christie McNally have explored together the ancient cities, rare manuscripts, and oral traditions of India and Tibet which bear witness to teachings of Thomas - the disciple that Jesus sent to the east. The Eastern Path to Heaven presents the great ideas that came to those lands through Thomas, and describes how we can use authentic Christian teachings of ancient Asia to achieve six goals of life: physical health; financial security; love; happiness; freedom from aging and death; and fulfilment in the service of others. Brief, accessible, chapters each open with a quotation by Jesus from the New Testament that speaks to achieving the six goals according to the wisdom of the Eastern side of the Christian family. Brief historical summaries show how the teachings of Jesus entered India with Thomas, traveling along the routes pioneered by Alexander the Great, and then reached Tibet. These sketches utilize information from Syrian, Coptic, Greek, Tibetan, and Sanskrit manuscripts, often translated by the authors for the first time.

Door to the Diamond Way
Door to the Diamond Way: A Guide to Higher Happiness by Tsongkapa (1357-1419) with an explanation by Pabongka Rinpoche (1871-1941) translated by Khen Rinpoche Geshe Lobsang Tharchin, with Geshe Michael Roach No matter what country we live in, or what religion we believe in, or what work we do, the ancient wisdom of the Buddha can lead us to greater success, and higher happiness. Door to the Diamond Way was written by Tsongkapa (1357-1419), the famous teacher of the first Dalai Lama. In 1402 he climbed atop a mountain called the Lion Crag, far above an ancient Tibetan monastery. Here he fell into a deep vision where he sat among the greatest teachers of two thousand years, immersed directly i...
Poems of the Diamond Way
Composed by The First Panchen Lama (1567-1662) and translated by Geshe Michael Roach. This selection of exquisite poetry by Lobsang Chukyi Gyeltsen comes from his biography as it appears in the classic work on the lives of the masters of the Lam Rim lineage written by Yongdzin Yeshe Gyeltsen, tutor to His Holiness the Eighth Dalai Lama. Much of the poetry here was never included in the First Panchen Lama’s traditional collected works, but has rather been taken from a secret tradition of chanting his poems at the tantric college located in his monastery of Tashi Lhunpo. The poems were written throughout his long life, starting from the age of 14, and they convey his inner progress in developing the steps of the path to Enlightenment. They also illustrate the manner in which he conducted his life and practice in the external world. In that sense, these poems are a real example for us to follow, and this selection was made to relate to particular steps of the path that we ourselves are working on.
The Principal Teachings of Buddhism
Translated By Khen Rinpoche Geshe Lobsang Tharchin with Geshe Michael Roach. The entire teachings of Buddhism explained in a few short pages by the greatest Buddhist master of ancient Middle Asia. The spread of the teaching of Gautama Buddha began in India over twothousand years ago and reached perhaps its highest peak in the hidden mountain kingdom of Tibet, five centuries before our time. The great illuminary of this renaissance of the religion of total peace was Tsongkapa (1357-1419). He inspired a movement that at its height saw nearly a million monks and nuns living in thousands of cloisters around the country. Tsongkapa was the greatest commentator in the history of Buddhism and wro...
The Garden
With The Garden, centuries of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom are brought to life for readers by one of its greatest Western teachers, Michael Roach. Through a parable in which a young man is brought into a mystical garden by a beautiful embodiment of Wisdom, Roach presents the pantheon of great Tibetan teachers. The nameless seeker lured to the garden meets the dominant historical figures who have contributed fundamental teachings to Tibetan Buddhism, such as Tsong Khapa, the first Dalai Lama, and Master Kamalashila. Unique among works of Buddhism now available, The Garden is destined to become a classic for its lucid revelation of the secrets of the Tibetan tradition and for the wisdom Geshe Michael Roach evokes.
