Tibetan Buddhism Trip Kink Gong - LP 659436391413

As long as our minds are dominated by the conditions of the external world, we are bound to remain in a state of dissatisfaction, always vulnerable to grief and fear. How then can we develop an inner sense of well-being and redefine our relationship to a world that seems unavoidably painful and unkind? Many have found a practical answer to that question in the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Here at last is an organized overview of these teachings, beginning with the basic themes of the sutras--the general discourses of the Buddha--and continuing through the esoteric concepts and advanced practices of Tantra. Unlike other introductions to Tibetan Buddhism, this accessible, enjoyable work doesn't stop with theory and history, but relates timeless spiritual principles to the pressing issues of modern life, both in terms of our daily experience and our uniquely Western world view. This fascinating, highly readable book asks neither unquestioning faith nor blind obedience to abstract concepts or religious beliefs. Rather, it challenges us to question and investigate life's issues for ourselves in the light of an ancient and effective approach to the sufferings and joys of the human condition.

This is the first book in a two-volume study of Indian Buddhism and its subsequent establishment in Tibet. The author quotes extensively from numerous original sources, many of which have never before been translated into English.

This volume provides a comprehensive survey of Indian Buddhism and its subsequent establishment in Tibet. It concentrates on the tantric period of Buddhist theory and practice, from the eighth to the thirteenth centuries, when the Tibetans were actively engaged in absorbing all they could find of Buddhist culture and religion into their own country. Snellgrove emphasizes the significant role played by the Central Asian kingdoms along the ancient Silk Route in the gradual process of Tibetan conversion. He draws convincingly upon documents of the time to illustrate the cultural changes that swept Tibet as a result of its rule over an extensive empire from the seventh to the ninth centuries?a period of history largely forgotten by the Tibetans themselves when they later embarked upon the wholesale importation of Buddhism directly from Northern India. Throughout, the author quotes extensively from numerous original sources, many of which have never before been translated into English. The illustrations include iconographic art as well as photographs of historical interest.

Amitabha thought is a part of Mahayana Buddhism and it is also called the Pure Land thought. Sakyamuni Buddha in the 6th century BC, in India taught many sutras about Amitabha including the Lager Sukhavativyuha sutra. This Amitabha thought was originated in India and spread to east Asia countries. One route is from India to Tibet and then Mongolia. Amitabha thought is popular in Tibet but not established as a separate sect. Many Tibetan spiritual masters like Tsongkha pa wrote the Amitabha thought books. Also, Tsongha pa wrote prayers to Amitabha and the Land of Bliss (Sukhavati). They are called bDe smon (A Prayer Book on Rebirth in the Land of Bliss). Tibetan common people recite and practice bDe smon every days. This book contains work of seven spiritual masters from three different traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Gelug sect, Tsongkha pa (1357-1419), first Panchen Lama (1567- 1662), 1st Lcan skya (1642-1714), Nyingma sect, Petrul Rinpoche (1808-1887), Mi pham (1846-1912), 3rd Dodubchen Rinpoche(1865-1926), Sa skya sect, Sa skya Pandita(1182-1251).
