Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand

A Concise Discourse on the Path to Enlightenment

By: Pabongka

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.

The Principal Teachings of Buddhism

By: TSONGKAPA,GESHE LOBSANG THARCHIN,PABONGKA RINPOCHE,GESHE MICHAEL ROACH

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 wrote some 10,000 pages in eloquent explanation of the entire range of the ancient Buddhist classics. He undertook the challenge of compressing all this knowledge into a single poem. The result was his famous Three Principal Paths, fourteen verses written for a favored student in a faraway land. Tsongkapa's masterpiece appears here with a commentary by the illustrious Pabongka Rinpoche (1878-1941), generally regarded as the foremost Tibetan teacher of Buddhism during the last century. The work has been translated by Geshe Lobsang Tharchin, one of the last Buddhist masters of old Tibet. The cover shows a statue of Tsongkapa known as "Looks Like Me," named from Tsongkapa's comment at the unveiling of the image. Theoriginal stood in the great Jokang Temple of Lhasa, Tibet, and was destroyed.

Door to the Diamond Way

A Guide to Higher Happiness

By: TSONGKAPA,PABONGKA RINPOCHE,GESHE LOBSANG THARCHIN,GESHE MICHAEL ROACH

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 in the nectar of their wisdom. When he finally came out of his vision, Tsongkapa wrote a song to his teachers called The Source of All My Good. These verses are themselves an exquisite guide to inner and outer personal success. By tradition, they are used to prepare a disciple for the quest to make direct contact with angelic beings—a journey which is itself called “The Diamond Way.” The work has been translated by Geshe Lobsang Tharchin, one of the greatest lamas of modern times, along with Geshe Michael Roach, author of The Diamond Cutter. Profits from the sale of this book go to benefit the Diamond Cutter Classics translation program
