  • A Concise Set of Buddhist Healing Prayers and Practices – Preface
    A Concise Set of Buddhist Healing Prayers and Practices revised edition by Jason Espada “It is said that whenever we practice Dharma it should always be pervaded by compassion at all times – in the beginning, in the middle and at the end of our practice. Compassion is the source, the real essence of the entire path.” - Khenpo Appey Rinpoche 1 Preface - I A Concise Set of Buddhist Healing Prayers and Practices – Preface In April of 2009, I was able to complete the first edition of A Collection of Buddhist Healing Prayers and Practices. That work contains background essays on the foundation of healing in Buddhism, as I understand it, as well as a good deal of supplementary material, such as Tibetan Buddhist Sadhanas (practice texts, or ‘methods of accomplishment’). I felt it was necessary to set the practices that are used for healing in their proper context, as part of Buddhist Tradition, and also to show how they can be used by someone today, in 21st century American culture. Over the last two years, I’ve written a few more essays, and some more poetry that I plan to include in later editions of that book. I’ve also continued to practice with a concise set of reflections, prayers and visualizations, that is relatively just a few pages. Almost as soon as I finished the first work I thought it would be good to have a brief text that can be used for daily practice, or that can be taken as a suggestion for another person who wants to draw together various prayers and practices for their own personal use.

  • The Answer Was Travel, Serious Travel by Nick Ribush Dr
    Your COMMUNITY THE ROAD TO KOPAN The Answer Was Travel, Serious Travel By Nick Ribush Dr. Nick Ribush was practicing medicine in Australia when, for various reasons, he got a bit disillusioned with it and, in May 1972, set off to travel the world. By the end of the year he was living at Kopan, beginning what is, at this point, an almost four-decade career within FPMT. “If at the time someone had told me what would happen to my life if I did that course,” he said, “I probably would not have done it!” Since then, he has, on behalf of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche, founded and directed Wisdom Publications, Tushita Mahayana Meditation Centre, Kurukulla Center and the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, which he has run for the past 15 years. Nick generously shared his story with Mandala as part of our ongoing feature, The Road to Kopan. Nick at Kopan Monastery, January 1973.

  • Intimate Reflections
    INTIMATEREFLECTIONS INTIMATE REFLECTIONS Twenty-five years after the passing of Lama Yeshe, students who were there in the early years remember their time with this extraordinary guru as if it were yesterday. This section is devoted to the intimate reflections of those early students, forever transformed by the guidance and care of their Lama. Step back with them as they recall the precious advice, the amusing stories, the first Kopan courses, Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa’s perfect partnership and the end of this particular dream when Lama Yeshe passed. here we were, about fifty out-of-control Westerners There were about a dozen hippies there.

How to Meditate 3 Discovering BUDDHISM at Home Turning the Wheel by Lama Thubten Yeshe During the spring term of 1978, Lama Thubten Yeshe taught a course on the Buddhism of Tibet for the Religious Studies Department of the University of California at Santa Cruz. The following is an excerpt from an edited version of these lectures.. The subject matter of this article is taken from a lecture in which Lama Yeshe discussed the twelve deeds of an enlightened being, specifically those of Shakyamuni Buddha (sixth century, B.C.). These are the major events in the career of all fully awakened teachers who periodically descend to renew the spiritual life of our planet. After discussing Shakyamuni’s previous attainment of enlightenment, his descent from the Joyous Pure Land (Tushita), his birth into a north Indian royal family and his early education and marriage, Lama Yeshe described how Buddha renounced his royal life of sense indulgence and adopted the spiritual discipline of extreme asceticism.

Cuốn sách này theo dõi quá trình hình thành của Phật Giáo từ giai đoạn sơ khai vào thế kỷ 19, đến khi những Hội Phật Giáo đầu tiên được thành lập vào đầu thập niên năm mươi của thế kỷ 20;các phong trào học Phật của người Úc và sau đó là những người tị nạn đến từ châu Á. Giống như một bức tranh lịch sử, không chỉ nói về những người Phật tử bình thường tại xứ sở Nam Bán Cầu này, cuốn sách đã hấp dẫn hơn với những nhân vật lập dị, những kẻ giả danh, những người nổi tiếng và các bậc thánh thiện.
