A concise and clear explanation of the major characteristics of each of the three yanas and their further division into the nine yanas, based on the Nyingma and Dzogchen traditions.
- The Buddhist Traditions of Tibet
Over a number of years, profiles of the different Buddhist traditions of Tibet have appeared in Rigpa’s Tibetan Calendar.
Upon Sogyal Rinpoche’s request, they have been compiled here, and accompany the reproduction of a set of five unique ‘Rimé thangkas’ commisioned by Orgyen Topgyal Rinpoche that show the Buddha and the principal figures in the development of the main Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
- The Wish-fulfilling Jewel
Focusing on three aspects of Guru Rinpoche, it brings together a number of key aspects of practice, including: healing, long life, protection, meditation, the nature of mind and the view of Dzogpachenpo. For Guru Rinpoche is indeed just like a wish-fulfilling gem—whatever anyone may need, he grants it exactly as they desire.
- The Meaning of Tsok
A booklet written especially for meditation students and students who are beginning their ngondro practice. It explains simply what tsok is, how to practise it, and how to participate in group tsok practice in an appropriate and meaningful way.
