Synopsis:
This book presents four of the most famed and cherished classical Tibetan Buddhist commentaries that elucidate the philosophy and practice of deity visualization and mantra recitation - also known as development stage meditation. The texts translated here are: Ladder to Akanistha by Jigme Lingpa, Clarifying the Difficult Points in the Development Stage by Patrul Rinpoche, the Four Stakes That Bind the Life-Force by Patrul Rinpoche, and Husks of Unity by Getse Mahapandita Tsewang Chokdrub.
The authors of these timeless classics, translated here by the Dharmachakra translation committee under the direction of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, have all profoundly shaped Tibetan Buddhism through their vast scholarship and deep spiritual realization. In these eloquent and inspiring writings they lay out the path of tantra, explaining in a detailed and lucid manner the fundamental philosophy of the vajrayana as well as the way to make this view a living experience through the practice of meditation.
The practice of the development stage is one of the central trainings on the path of tantra, and the texts contained in this book are among the most widely studied commentaries from the Tibetan tradition.
"As I am certain that I am unable to gain enlightenment in one lifetime, my great fear is to be reborn in a place where there are no writings of Jigme Lingpa. His texts are like a manifestation of the great master himself. Even opening a page at random yields wisdom appropriate to our practice at the time. And for ordinary beings like me, the Dharma often appears unfathomable. So I feel blessed to have the writings of Dza Patrul Rinpoche, which express even the most profound Dharma in the most ordinary language…I have no doubt these precious texts will benefit many people, as they have benefited me." Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. |
