Actuality of Being
In this book Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche elaborates on key aspects of the view, meditation and action of Dzogchen practice and outlines the way in which confusion arises; the notions of self-existing wisdom, primordial purity and non-conceptuality; the four levels of mind; the three ways of resting the mind; the three aspects of energy; authentication of body, speech and mind; and the actualization of the ground; and presents profound practice methods to deepen one's understanding and experience. Compiled from a series of retreats led by Rinpoche, Actuality of Being: Dzogchen and Tantric Perspectives discusses Dzogchen (also known as Maha Ati and the Great Perfection) in relation to the nine yan...
Circle of the Sun
The Circle of the Sun by Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche is a succinct elucidation of the theoretical framework, the pith instructions of Dzogchen. Traleg Kyabgon' s translation and commentary of the 17th century Tibetan Dzogchen master Tsele Natsok Rangdrol, provides a uniquely modern perspective of this ancient text, bringing the theoretical framework of Dzogchen - Tekcho or cutting through, and Thogal or leaping over - to life. It is an excellent companion to his other work on Dzogchen called, Actuality Of Being, that contrasts the Dzogchen approach with the nine yana system and includes a strong practice component and advice for meditation. Circle Of The Sun defines many of the key terms associated with this school and explains the core beliefs and perspectives that direct the practitioner' s path and practices to their final fruition, the uncovering one uncontrived authentic state. Tsele Natsok Rangdrol' s text is considered to be one of the best if not the best summary of Dzogchen teachings in existence.

The Essence of Buddhism
A clear and concise introduction to the teachings and philosophies of the three main vehicles of Buddhism—Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana—through a Tibetan lens This comprehensive guide to the Buddhist path from the Tibetan point of view is as accessible as it is complete. Traleg Kyabgon breaks the teachings down conveniently into the three traditional “vehicles,” while never letting us forget that the point of all the Dharma is nothing other than insight into the mind and heart. Along the way he provides vivid definitions of fundamental Buddhist concepts such as compassion, emptiness, and Buddha-nature and answers common questions such as: • Why does Buddhism teach that there is “no self”? • Are Buddhist teachings pessimistic? • Does Buddhism encourage social passivity? • What is the role of sex in Buddhist tantra? • Why is it said that samsara is nirvana? • Does it take countless lifetimes to attain enlightenment, or can it be achieved in a moment?
Nyima Tashi
Collection of poetic songs (Tib. mgur) and instructions attributed to the first Traleg Rinpoche (Tib. Khra-legs Skyabs-mgon Nyi-ma-bkra-shis, flourished in the late 15th century), who is associated with Thrangu (Khra-ʼgu) Monastery and the Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism; includes recollection of successive lives and story of his relics.
Vajrayana
Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche has kept the Vajrayana teachings vibrant and alive with his immense wisdom and deep compassion for all living beings. His whole lifes legacy has been to transmit and transplant the dharma, particularly the Vajrayana lineage, into the new frontier of the western world. He has kindly given many teachings on the various Vajrayana subjects contained in this book in order to support and enhance our practice. These teachings illuminate the tantra and open up the meaning so we may access and fully appreciate what would otherwise remain hidden. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
The Influence of Yogacara on Mahamudra
A unique and interesting look at how Yogacara philosophy influenced tantra and Mahamudra. Developed by Asanga and Vasubandhu as a reaction to over-theorization, Yogacara emphasizes that everything comes back to one's own practice, one's own experience.
Karma
A master of Tibetan Buddhism cuts through prevalent misconceptions around karma and rebirth to get to the root cause of our suffering—and how we can end it The Buddha’s teaching on karma (literally, “action”) is nothing other than his compassionate explanation of the way things are: our thoughts and actions determine our future, and therefore we ourselves are largely responsible for the way our lives unfold. Yet this supremely useful teaching is often ignored due to the misconceptions found in popular culture, especially oversimplifications that make it seem like something not to be taken seriously. Karma is not simple, as Traleg Kyabgon shows, and it’s to be taken very seriously indeed. In this book, Kyabgon cuts through the persistent illusions we cling to about karma to show what it really is—the mechanics of why we suffer and how we can make the suffering end. He explains how a realistic understanding of karma is indispensable to Buddhist practice, how it provides a foundation for a moral life, and how understanding it can have a transformative effect on the way we relate to our thoughts and feelings and to those around us.
The Practice of Lojong
A comprehensive guide to lojong, a Buddhist practice used for centuries to develop loving-kindness and compassion, made popular by Pema Chödrön and Chögyam Trungpa For many centuries Indian and Tibetan Buddhists have employed this collection of pithy, penetrating Dharma slogans to develop compassion, equanimity, lovingkindness, and joy for others. Known as the lojong—or mind-training—teachings, these slogans have been the subject of deep study, contemplation, and commentary by many great masters. In this volume, Traleg Kyabgon offers a fresh translation of the slogans as well as in-depth new commentary of each. After living among and teaching Westerners for over twenty years, his approach is uniquely insightful into the ways that the slogans could be misunderstood or misinterpreted within our culture. Here, he presents a refreshing and clarifying view, which seeks to correct points of confusion.
Moonbeams of Mahamudra
The Mahamudra path of direct perception is the pre-eminent method of the Dakpo Kagyu tradition. This definitive manual systematically explains its approach to meditation, complete with definitions, pointing-out instructions, and advice for the many pitfalls and errors that beset practitioners. Central to these errors is our failure to acknowledge the difference between understanding and experience, and our tendency to fixate on meditative experiences and mistake them for realization. This translation conveys the freshness and immediacy of these instructions. Belonging to the generation of teachers to first bring Tibetan Buddhism across cultures, Traleg Kyabgon (1955-2012) presents these Mahamudra instructions in a direct, relaxed, and intimate style.
