Beautiful & Interesting As a student of Buddhism I've come across some items in books or stores or just along the path that I don't know what they are - specifically in Tibetan Buddhism. This is a great book for anyone interested in what some of the symbols of Tibetan Buddhism are, what they mean or represent and in some cases how they came to be. The descriptions are easy to understand and the pictures are absolutely beautiful and captivating. It's a short and enjoyable book - doesn't dive deeply into the items/symbols - it's a nice introduction and is informative and makes for nice reference material. ... Read more |

Serious problems abound in this text
Um...
Boring Maybe it's just me. It's not that I like the Dharma simple. I was disappointed because I came wanting to find out more about Tibetan Buddhism, and realized it was much like reading the names in Genesis of the Bible. The Dalai Lama, as far as Tibetan Buddhism goes, is more clear to me. Perhaps that's because he leaves most of the scholastic approach out of his writings, and focuses on the marrow of PRACTICE. This book lacks much physical reference to that. If you are looking to understand the Dharma, this book is for you. If you, however, are looking to UNDERSTAND the Dharma, go find a zendo and sit. That and any book by Zen master Seung Sahn, if you find Tibetan Buddhism isn't your "cup of tea"-will point you on your way. Sorry Robert, your book put me to sleep. Better writings next time.
Difficult material, and cheerleading.
The Politics of Enlightenment `Tibetan Buddhism increasingly rivals Zen in its popularity as a path of Buddhist wisdom and practice.' Thurman has written and translated many texts in this area, particularly the well-received `Tibetan Book of the Dead.' In this book, `The Essential Tibetan Buddhism,' Thurman does a thorough job at laying out in concise and accessible terms the history and development of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as an explication and explanation of the core beliefs and practices. Dedicated to the Dali Lama (who I have had the honour to be near during his regular trips to Bloomington, my current home -- his brother has been on faculty at Indiana University), this book shows how Tibetan Buddhism grew out of a sense of having been personally touched by Buddhas dwelling among them. Indeed, Tibetans often take for granted the idea of a constant presence of Buddhas among them. While many varieties of Buddhism allow for the theoretical attainment of the absolute freedom required to be a Buddha, Tibetan Buddhism is rare in accepting that there are many Buddhas currently at hand. Tibetan Buddhism also preserved the Indian Tantric traditions, as a means for the attainment of complete Buddha-hood. Indeed, some of these Tantras contradict the cosmologies which speculate that there is a cycle of Buddhas, and that another Buddha is not due for thousands of years. `Thus at least one of the levels (the highest, most would say) of the Tibetan sense of history sees the planet as progressing positively toward a time of unprecedented fulfillment. Tibetan Buddhist society therefore is perhaps unique among Buddhist societies in that the people live within a consciously articulated myth of historical progress, carrying within itself a fascinating complexity.' Tibetan Buddhism is far from nihilistic, as indeed most Buddhism is not nihilistic. One discovers a unity of awareness and of all creation, something at the heart of many of the great religions of the world, if not so specifically laid out as a premise or as a possible attainment. The Buddha obtains total consciousness, a kind of universal omniscience; this is not to say a Buddha is God or becomes God (in fact, the Buddha will eschew God-like powers and domination over other creatures). Grant the vision of direct enlightenment, Complete with original translations of source texts, commentaries, essays of context and interpretation, and a good source of religious studies (history, philosophy, theology, etc.), this is an excellent introduction to the contemplation, study or even practice of Tibetan Buddhism. ...

An excellent resource for practitioners
Opening the Door to the Vajrayana The textdiscusses practices central to the Vajrayana path in the Kagyu lineage ofTibetan Buddhism.Kagyu tradition stresses experience and contemplation asthe mode of integrating the teachings, and the practices discussed herereflect that emphasis.Rinpoche gives clear, detailed instructions abouteach of the practices, but never fails to remind the reader that anauthentic teacher and guide is essential to integrating them and assistingour development. The ordinary preliminary practices are meditations onthe Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to Dharma--precious human existence,death and impermanence, karma, and samsara (the suffering of aimlesslycycling through existence). Rinpoche lucidly explains how these meditationshelp provide the discipline necessary for consistent practice and give riseto the hunger for the transformation that the "extraordinary"practices make possible. "Extraordinary" here means justthat--beyond the ordinary, or basic, practice of meditating on the FourThoughts.In the Kagyu lineage, these practices are refuge andprostrations, Dorje Sempa (Vajrasattva) purification, mandala offering, andguru yoga.Each of these practices plays a vital role in helping torelease our habitual clinging to self-created visions of identity thatobstruct an understanding of true reality. The sections on the vows andcommitments explain the foundations for understanding the moralunderpinnings of daily practice--how we prepare and tend to the ground onwhich to build a dharmic home.Rinpoche also discusses modes of meditationand introduces Mahamudra, a highly advanced topic. The book is a usefultool for anyone interested in an introductory overview of the Vajrayana,and is essential as an introduction to those choosing to undertake thejourney on this beautiful and liberating path. ...
