Yeshe Thubten Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Relish these direct, experiential meditation instructions from the author of the bestselling Introduction to Tantra. Lama Yeshe tells us that mahamudra is “the universal reality of emptiness, of nonduality” and its unique characteristic is its emphasis on meditation: “With mahamudra meditation there is no doctrine, no theology, no philosophy, no God, no Buddha. Mahamudra is only experience.” He relies on the First Panchen Lama’s well-known Root Text of Genden Mahamudra, which in a few short pages provides the pith instructions for, first, overcoming distraction and resting in meditative stillness on the clarity of one’s own mind, and then, with subtle awareness, penetrating its ultimate nature, its emptiness. As always, Lama Yeshe’s words are direct, funny, and incredibly encouraging. He gets us to go beyond ego’s addiction to a limited sense of self and to taste the lightness and expansiveness of our own true nature.

Wisdom Energy is a simple and compelling introduction to Buddhism by two Tibetan lamas renowned for their insight and skill in teaching Westerners. Containing an entire meditation course, it goes to the heart of basic Buddhist practice and discusses the meaning and purpose of meditation, the causes of dissatisfaction and unhappiness, and the methods for subduing them and gaining control over our minds and lives. Originally published in 1976, Wisdom Energy still preserves the power, humor, and directness of the lamas's first teaching tour of North America, giving the reader the feeling of an intimate audience with two highly respected teachers.

This book contains the last teachings Lama Yeshe gave in the West. Poignantly, the topic was death and rebirth; six months later, Lama Yeshe passed away. It also includes an introductory discourse by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and concludes with a teaching on transference of consciousness given by Lama Yeshe in London in 1982. "Tibetan Buddhism teaches us to understand the death process and trains us to deal with it so that when the time of crisis arrives and the various illusory visions arise, instead of being confused, we’ll know what’s going on and will recognize illusions as illusions, projections as projections and fantasies as fantasies." This title was published by the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, a non-profit organization established to make the Buddhist teachings of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche freely accessible in many ways, including on our website for instant reading, listening or downloading, and as printed and electronic books. Our website offers immediate access to thousands of pages of teachings and hundreds of audio recordings by some of the greatest lamas of our time.

A portable treasury of gems from a lifetime of Wisdom. To know Lama Yeshe was to know he loved chocolate; it was his favorite metaphor to describe the nature of our attachments. This funny and trenchant little volume answers the question of how we can be happy even after the "chocolate" has run out. By cutting the cords of attachment, we discover the indestructible happiness that has always been--and always will be--available to us. Capturing the remarkable personality of Lama Yeshe, who played an integral role in introducing Tibetan Buddhism to the western world, When the Chocolate Runs Out will delight both readers who knew Lama Yeshe for decades and those who have never encountered this timelessly inspiring teacher. At once lighthearted and profound, this delightful book of wisdom is a perfect companion to How to Be Happy by Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

Buddhism is not a fanatical religion but a philosophical approach to living. Studying Buddhism does not require extreme beliefs; it involves personal investigation and experimentation. Understanding, rather than blind belief, is crucial, as belief without comprehension can be dangerous. Lord Buddha emphasized that true liberation comes from understanding and knowledge. The practice of Dharma should aim for the complete cessation of suffering by eradicating its root: ignorance and the delusions that arise from it. True peace is achieved when ignorance, attachment, and anger are eliminated, leading to lasting freedom and unchanging peace. During their first trip to Europe, Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche conducted a weekend seminar based on their renowned month-long Kopan meditation courses. This included a lecture by Lama Yeshe at Kensington Town Hall and teachings at Royal Holloway College, Surrey, covering the entire Buddhist path to enlightenment. The seminar was recorded and is available on a historic DVD titled Freedom Through Understanding. Published by the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, a non-profit organization, this title aims to make the teachings of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche widely accessible. The Archive offers thousands of pages of teachings, audio recordings, and other resources online, along with opportunities for support.

Lama Yeshe emphasizes that Buddhism encompasses a vast understanding of the universe, addressing the nature of every phenomenon. He highlights the importance of a silent mind, which should be alert and awakened, actively seeking the nature of reality. Meditation is presented as essential for managing an uncontrolled, undisciplined mind, serving as the path to true satisfaction. An uncontrolled mind is inherently troubled, and dissatisfaction is likened to a form of mental illness. The antidote lies in knowledge-wisdom—grasping the nature of psychological phenomena and understanding the internal workings of the mind.

Like Becoming the Compassion Buddha, this is another of Lama Yeshe's examinations of key Tantric deity practices in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Common to all four traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, the practice of Vajrasattva is used to purify obstacles to spiritual development, negative karma, and illness. Lama Yeshe, the inspirational teacher who strongly influenced the development of Buddhism in the West, found that the practice of Vajrasattva brought dramatic results for his Western students. Becoming Vajrasattva is a complete guide to this purification practice, providing instruction on the method, commentary on the traditional texts, and insight into tantra. Also included is an entire section of complete retreat instructions required reading for anyone undertaking a meditation retreat in the Tibetan tradition.

Co je tantra a jaké jsou její cíle? Podle buddhismu má každá lidská bytost potenciál dospět k hlubokému a trvalému štěstí a probuzení. A podle nauk tantrického buddhismu lze této pozoruhodné transformace dosáhnout velmi rychle, budeme-li využívat všech aspektů naší energie – zejména energii našich tužeb. Na rozdíl od konvenčních náboženství tantra uznává, že tato silná energie je nepostradatelným zdrojem duchovního rozvoje. Náš život je totiž tak neoddělitelně spojen s touhou, že její obrovskou energii můžeme využít k transformaci celého svého života. Lama Yeshe představuje tantru jako praxi vedoucí k radosti a objevení sebe sama a využívá přitom jednoduché a jasné příklady vztahující se k životu ve 21. století. Úvod do tantry je ideálním uvedením do této velmi obdivované buddhistické praxe, která však často bývá špatně chápána. S předmluvou Philipa Glasse.

"To enter the spiritual path, you must begin to understand your own mental attitude and how your mind perceives things...When your mind is narrow, small things easily agitate you. Make your mind an ocean.

Based on HAVING THE THREE CONVICTIONS by Lama Je Tsong Khapa (1357-1419 AD), this book examines the renowned Six Yogas of Naropa, a stage in the practice of Yoga Tantra. Through experiential commentary, guided meditation, and practical advice, Lama Yeshe brings the reader a tantalizing taste of the blissful technology of tantra as well as its direct application to everyday living.

First published in 1998, this booklet contains three public talks by Lama Yeshe on the general topic of Buddhism. Each lecture is followed by a question and answer session. Lama and his audiences always enjoyed the give and take of these lively exchanges, and pretty much anything went. Although these talks were called lectures, Lama would have each of us use them as a mirror for our minds and look beyond the words, find ourselves, and become our own psychologist.

No one has ever talked about tantra with such clarity, coherence and simplicity. Religious Studies Review
