Sprache / Language: Englisch / EnglishHardcover, 336 pages. Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 1 - Approaching the Buddhist Path About the book The first volume in a multivolume collection presenting the Dalai Lama’s comprehensive explanation of the Buddhist path. Traditional presentations of the path in Tibetan Buddhism assume the audience already has faith in the Buddha and believes in rebirth and karma, but the Dalai Lama realized early that a different approach was needed for his Western students. Starting from the universal human wish for happiness and the dynamic nature of the mind, His Holiness here provides a framework for the modern reader to make sense of this rich tradition. Subsequent volumes delve more deeply into particular Buddhist subjects, but this first volume provides a wealth of reflections on Buddhist history and fundamentals, contemporary issues, and the Dalai Lama’s own personal experiences. Contents Exploring Buddhism The Buddhist View of Life Mind and Emotions The Spread of the Buddhadharma and Buddhist Canons The Buddha’s Teachings Form a Cohesive Whole Investigating the Teachings The Importance of Kindness and Compassion A Systematic Approach Tools for the Path Making Progress Personal Reflections on the Path Working in the World

Sprache / Language: Englisch / EnglishHardcover, 464 pages. Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 10 - Vajrayana and the Culmination of the Path About the book His Holiness the Dalai Lama skillfully illuminates the unique qualities of Vajrayana, as practiced in Tibet, and the method to eradicate the subtlest obscurations preventing the full awakening of a buddha. Speaking to newcomers and advanced students alike, he explains the similarities and differences of the Sutra and Tantra paths. Having gathered many of the doubts and difficult points concerning the tantric path, he clarifies the purpose of receiving proper empowerment by qualified gurus and the ethical restraints and commitments required to enter the path of secret mantra. The paths and stages of the four tantric classes are explained, as are the generation-stage and completion-stage practices of Highest Yoga Tantra. You are introduced to the practices of clear appearance and divine identity common to all tantric sadhanas, as well as the distinctive practices of illusory body and actual clear light that overcome the subtlest defilements on the mind and eliminate all obscurations quickly. The understanding of emptiness in Sutra and Tantra is the same, but the consciousness perceiving emptiness differs. In Highest Yoga Tantra that consciousness is great bliss, which arises from knowing the methods to manipulate the channels, winds, and drops of the subtle body. In short, in Vajrayana and the Culmination of the Path the Dalai Lama sets out the path that leads to blissful awakening and enables us to be of great benefit to all sentient beings. Contents Method and Wisdom in Sutra and Tantra Introduction to Tantra Entering Tantrayana All-Encompassing Yoga The Path of Kriya Tantra The Paths of Charya Tantra and Yoga Tantra Highest Yoga Tantra The Tantric Perspective of Body and Mind The Path of Highest Yoga Tantra Introduction to the Completion Stage Going Deeper into the Completion Stage The Path of Kalachakra Tantra The Four Tibetan Traditions Coming to the Same Point A Song of Four Mindfulnesses and the Culmination of the Path Epilogue: Advice for My Disciples

Sprache / Language: Englisch / EnglishHardcover, 400 pages. Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 2 - The Foundation of Buddhist Practice About the book Traditional presentations of the path in Tibetan Buddhism assume the audience already has faith in the Buddha and believes in rebirth and karma. The Dalai Lama realized early on that a different approach was needed for his non-Tibetan students. Starting from the universal human wish for happiness and the dynamic nature of the mind, the Dalai Lama here provides a framework for the modern reader to explore this rich tradition. This second volume begins with the four seals that determine a philosophy as Buddhist and continues with an explanation of reliable cognition so that we will have the tools to evaluate the veracity of the Buddha’s teachings. Multiple chapters discussing the relationship of a spiritual mentor and student clarify misunderstandings and confusion about this topic and show how to properly rely on a spiritual mentor in a healthy, appropriate, and beneficial manner. Chapters on dying and rebirth unpack the often difficult-to-understand topic of multiple lives and explain how to prepare for death and to aid someone who is dying. This leads into a fascinating and fruitful explanation of karma and its results. The book is written in easy-to-understand language and contains reflections that help the reader apply the Buddha’s wisdom to their own lives. Contents The Buddhist Approach Gaining Nondeceptive Knowledge The Basis of the Self: The Body and Mind Choosing Spiritual Mentors and Becoming a Qualified Disciple Relying on Spiritual Mentors How to Structure a Meditation Session Mind, Body, and Rebirth The Essence of a Meaningful Life Looking Beyond This Life Karma and its Effects Results of Karma The Workings of Karma

Sprache / Language: Englisch / EnglishHardcover, 440 pages. Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 3 - Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature About the book In this third volume of the series, discover the mind’s infinitely vast potential and buddha nature. Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature takes up centrally important premises of Buddhism: the unsatisfactoriness (duhkha) of cyclic existence (samsara), the determination to be free of cyclic existence, and the mind as the basis for both the extreme duhkha of samsara and the bliss of nirvana. This volume shows us how to purify our minds and cultivate awakened qualities. Knowledge of buddha nature reveals and reconciles the paradox of how the mind can be the basis for both the extreme duhkha of samsara (the unpurified mind) and the bliss and fulfillment of nirvana (the purified mind). To illustrate this, Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature first takes readers through Buddhist thought on the self, the Four Noble Truths, and their sixteen attributes. Then, the Dalai Lama explains afflictions, their arising and antidotes, followed by an examination of karma and cyclic existence and, finally, a deep and thorough elucidation of buddha nature. Contents The Self, the Four Truths, and Their Sixteen Attributes Revolving in Cyclic Existence: The Truth of Duḥkha True Origins of Duḥkha Afflictions, Their Arising, and Their Antidotes Afflictions and Karma, Their Seeds and Latencies Karma, the Universe, and Evolution Revolving in Cyclic Existence: The Twelve Links of Dependent Origination Dependent Origination: Cycling in Samsāra The Determination to Be Free Seeking Genuine Peace Freedom from Cyclic Existence The Mind and Its Potential Buddha Nature Going Deeper into Buddha Nature

Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 4 - Following in the Buddha’s Footsteps About the book The fourth volume of the Dalai Lama’s definitive series on the path to awakening, Following in the Buddha’s Footsteps delves into the substance of spiritual practice. You’ll first hear His Holiness’s explanation of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, why they are reliable guides on the path, and how to relate to them. His Holiness then describes the three essential trainings common to all Buddhist traditions: the higher trainings in ethical conduct, concentration, and wisdom. The chapters on ethical conduct show us how to live a life free of harm to self or others. Chapters on concentration give us detailed instructions on how to develop single-pointed concentration as well as the higher states of concentration available to an earnest practitioner. The chapters on wisdom contain in-depth teachings on the noble eightfold path and the four establishments of mindfulness for developing greater awareness and understanding of our body, feelings, mind, and other phenomena. Together, these topics form the core of Buddhist practice. This is a book to treasure and refer to repeatedly as you begin the path, progress on it, and near the final goal of nirvana.

Sprache / Language: Englisch / EnglishHardcover, 424 pages. Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 5 - In Praise of Great Compassion About the book In Praise of Great Compassion, the fifth volume of The Library of Wisdom and Compassion, continues the Dalai Lama’s teachings on the path to awakening. Although previous volumes focused on our present situation and taking responsibility for creating the causes of happiness, this volume concerns opening our hearts and generating the intention to make our lives meaningful by benefiting others. We are embedded in a universe with other living beings, all of whom have been kind to us in one way or another. More than any other time in human history, we depend on one another to stay alive and flourish. When we look closely, it becomes apparent that we have been the recipient of great kindness. Wanting to repay others’ kindness, we cultivate a positive attitude by contemplating the four immeasurables of love, compassion, empathic joy, and equanimity, and the altruistic intention of bodhicitta. We learn to challenge the self-centered attitude that leads to misery and replace it with a more realistic perspective enabling us to remain emotionally balanced in good and bad times. In this way, all circumstances become favorable to the path to awakening. Contents The Four Immeasurables The Altruistic Intention of Bodhicitta How to Cultivate Bodhicitta: The Seven Cause-and-Effect Instructions Equalizing and Exchanging Self and Others Becoming a Bodhisattva Homage to Great Compassion Aspiring and Engaging Bodhicitta Love, Compassion, and Bodhicitta in Chinese Buddhism Bodhicitta and Bodhisattvas in the Pali Tradition Mind Training

Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 6 - Courageous Compassion About the book Courageous Compassion, the sixth volume of The Library of Wisdom and Compassion series, continues the Dalai Lama’s teachings on the path to awakening. The previous volume, In Praise of Great Compassion, focused on opening our hearts with love and compassion for all living beings, and the present volume explains how to embody compassion and wisdom in our daily lives. Here we enter a fascinating exploration of bodhisattvas’ activities across multiple Buddhist traditions—Tibetan, Theravada, and Chinese Buddhism. After explaining the ten perfections according to the Pali and Sanskrit traditions, the Dalai Lama presents the sophisticated schema of the four paths and fruits for sravakas and solitary realizers and the five paths for bodhisattvas. Learning about the practices mastered by these exalted practitioners inspires us with knowledge of our minds’ potential. His Holiness also describes buddha bodies, what buddhas perceive, and buddhas’ awakening activities.

Sprache / Language: Englisch / EnglishHardcover, 432 pages. Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 7 - Searching for the Self About the book His Holiness the Dalai Lama explores emptiness, one of the most central teachings in Buddhism, in the newest volume of the bestselling series The Library of Wisdom and Compassion. In Searching for the Self, the Dalai Lama leads us to delve deeply into the topic of the ultimate nature of reality, presenting it from a variety of approaches while focusing on identifying our erroneous views and directing us to the actual mode of existence of all persons and phenomena. Placing our study of reality within the auspicious context of a compassionate motivation to benefit all sentient beings, the Dalai Lama explains why realizing emptiness is important and what qualities are needed to do that, and he evaluates various tenet systems’ perspectives on this vast topic. He then helps us understand our perceptions and the mental states involved in both our ignorant and accurate cognitions. He examines inherent existence and other fantasized ways of existence that we seek to disprove through reasoned analysis and presents the Middle Way view that abandons all extremes. The closing chapters by Thubten Chodron discuss the three characteristics of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and not-self as explained in the Pali tradition and show how meditation on these can lead to the meditative breakthrough to realize nirvana. Engaging in this investigation with His Holiness will challenge our deepest-held beliefs and uproot false ways of viewing ourselves and the world that are so habitual we don’t even notice them. Get ready to be challenged and intrigued, for realizing the nature of reality has the power to cut our defilements at the root and free us from cyclic existence forever! Contents The Importance of Realizing the Ultimate Nature, Emptiness The Nālandā Tradition Introduction to the Philosophical Tenet Systems Overview of Buddhist and Non-Buddhist Tenet Systems Comparing Assertions Cognizing Subjects and Cognized Objects The Importance of Realizing Emptiness Objects of Negation The Middle Way View The Extreme of Absolutism Pāli Tradition: Abandoning the Two Extremes Pāli Tradition: Cultivating Insight Knowledge Coda: The Pāli Abhidharma

Sprache / Language: Englisch / EnglishHardcover, 480 pages. Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 8 - Realizing the Profound View About the book Realizing the Profound View challenges the ways we view the self and the world and brings us that much closer to liberation by guiding us in the analysis and meditations necessary to realize the ultimate nature of reality. With attention to Nagarjuna’s five-point analysis, Candrakirti’s seven-point examination, and Pali sutras, the Dalai Lama leads us to investigate who or what is the person. Are we our body? Our mind? If we are not inherently either of them, how do we exist, and what carries the karma from one life to the next? As we explore these and other fascinating questions, he skillfully guides us along the path, avoiding the chasms of absolutism and nihilism, and introduces us to dependent arising. We find that although all persons and phenomena lack an inherent essence, they do exist dependently. This nominally imputed mere I carries the karmic seeds. We discover that all phenomena exist by being merely designated by term and concept—they appear as like illusions, unfindable under ultimate analysis but functioning on the conventional level. Furthermore, we come to understand that emptiness dawns as the meaning of dependent arising, and dependent arising dawns as the meaning of emptiness. The ability to posit subtle dependent arisings in the face of realizing emptiness and to establish ultimate and conventional truths as non-contradictory brings us to the culmination of the correct view. Contents The Seven-point Analysis: How Does a Car Exist? Refutations Similar to Candrakīrti’s Seven Points The Selflessness of Persons: Seven Points The Person is Not the Six Elements Ultimate Analysis and Conventional Existence The Selflessness of Phenomena: Diamond Slivers Does the World Exist Objectively? The Selflessness of All Existents: Dependent Arising Gaining the Correct View The Path Pleasing to the Buddha Illusion-like Existence Self and Selflessness in the Pali Tradition The Pāli Tradition: Eliminating Defilements The Pāli Sutras and the Prāsaṅgika View

Sprache / Language: Englisch / EnglishHardcover, 544 pages. Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron: VOLUME 9 - Appearing and Empty About the book This final volume on emptiness, Appearing and Empty, reveals the Prasangikas’ view of the ultimate nature of reality so that we will gain the correct view of emptiness and the means to eliminate our own and others’ duhkha. His Holiness and Venerable Thubten Chodron take us through the Sautrantika, Yogacara, and Svatantrika views on the ultimate nature of reality and the Prasangikas’ thorough responses to these, so that we gain the correct view of emptiness—the selflessness of both persons and phenomena. This view entails negating inherent existence while also being able to establish conventional existence: emptiness does not mean nothingness. We then learn how to meditate on the correct view by cultivating pristine wisdom that is the union of serenity and insight as taught in the Pali, Chinese, and Tibetan traditions. Such meditation, when combined with the altruistic intention of bodhicitta, leads to the complete eradication of all defilements that obscure our minds. This volume also introduces us to the tathagatagarbha—the buddha essence—and how it is understood in both Tibet and China. Is it permanent? Does everyone have it? In addition, the discussion of sudden and gradual awakening in Zen (Chan) Buddhism and in Tibetan Buddhism is fascinating. Contents The Two Truths Veiled Truths Ultimate Truths What Exists and the Reliable Cognizers That Know It The World of Dependent, Imputed Appearances Mind and Its Objects in the Yogācāra System Nature, Natureless, and Selflessness in Yogācāra The Two Madhyamaka Schools Prāsaṅgikas’ Response to Svātantrikas Unique Explanations of the Prāsaṅgikas Insight Insight in Chinese Buddhism and the Pali Tradition The Diversity of Chinese Buddhism Schools Yogācāra and Tathāgatagarbha in China Madhyamaka in China Buddhist Renewal

Die gesammelten Vorträge von Seiner Heiligkeit, dem 14. Dalai Lama haben – auf zweierlei Weise – die Lehre des Buddha zum Inhalt: als Weg zum Weltfrieden und als Weg zum letztlichen Frieden des Geistes. Alle Religionen, versichert der Dalai Lama, haben eigentlich nur diese Hoffnung als ihren Sinn: Egoismus gegen Altruismus einzutauschen. Und sie haben dazu ihre je eigenen Strategien entwickelt. In seinen Erläuterungen gewährt der Dalai Lama Einblick in die Tiefe und Bandbreite seines eigenen religiösen Denkens, aber auch der tibetischen Tradition, in der diese Lehren über Jahrhunderte praktiziert und weitergetragen wurden. Er verdeutlicht die entscheidenden theoretischen Grundsätze und Praktiken für ein sinnerfülltes und mitfühlendes Leben, das durch die Einsicht in die tatsächliche Wirklichkeit und Natur des Bewusstseins selbst den Tod nicht scheuen muss. Die Ausführungen können sicherlich auch Nicht-BuddhInnen viele Anregungen und Einsichten gewähren.
