Synopsis:
A collection of hidden teachings, or terma, given by Padmasambhava, with a commentary by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. The special quality of the terma teachings is that they provide guidance appropriate for each period of time and individual person. By working with Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal, his mystic spiritual consort, was able to compile and codify these precious insights and hide them for future generations.
Treasures from Juniper Ridge presents a variety of significant revelations for all levels of practitioners, as well as in-depth explanations of assorted aspects of practice: nonconceptual meditation, deity-focused meditation, death and dying, and recognizing the nature of mind. This book outlines ways for the modern student to apply these teachings while remaining true to Vajrayana Buddhism's traditional principles.
"Padmasambhava's pith instructions are extremely important because he is not just a legendary figure or an ancient myth. He is an actual person who continuously carries out spontaneous activities, including manifesting as treasure revealers, so that there is always a fresh, unimpaired teaching that people can practice. This also ensures that Padmasambhava's spiritual influence and blessings are unceasing. The special quality of these terma teachings is that they provide a method for accomplishment that is appropriate for each specific generation, period of time, and individual person who meets them. The treasure teachings he gave on the Juniper Ridge of Crystal Pearls contain the essential meanings of hundreds of such instructions." Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. |
