  • The Tulku System in Tibetan Buddhism: Its Reliability, Orthodoxy and Social Impacts
    The Tulku System in Tibetan Buddhism: Its Reliability, Orthodoxy and Social Impacts By Ramin Etesami A thesis submitted to the graduate school in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the International Buddhist College, Thailand March, 20 Abstract The Tulku institution is a unique characteristic of Tibetan Buddhism with a central role in this tradition, to the extent that it is present in almost every aspect of Tibet’s culture and tradition. However, despite this central role and the scope and diversity of the socio-religious aspects of the institution, only a few studies have so far been conducted to shed light on it. On the other hand, an aura of sacredness; distorted pictures projected by the media and film industries;political propaganda and misinformation; and tendencies to follow a pattern of cult behavior; have made the Tulku institution a highly controversial topic for research; and consequently, an objective study of the institution based on a critical approach is difficult. The current research is an attempt to comprehensively examine different dimensions of the Tulku tradition with an emphasis on the issue of its orthodoxy with respect to the core doctrines of Buddhism and the social implications of the practice. In this research, extreme caution has been practiced to firstly, avoid any kind of bias rooted in faith and belief; and secondly, to follow a scientific methodology in reviewing evidence and scriptures related to the research topic. Through a comprehensive study of historical accounts, core Buddhist texts and hagiographic literature, this study has found that while the basic Buddhist doctrines allow the possibility for a Buddhist teacher or an advanced practitioner to “return back to accomplish his tasks, the lack of any historical precedence which can be viewed as a typical example of the practice in early Buddhism makes the issue of its orthodoxy equivocal and relative.

  • Biography of Khenpo Sherab Sangpo (PDF)
    BIOGRAPHY Khenpo Sherab Sangpo Khenpo Sherab Sangpo studied under the lord of refuge Khenchen Padma Tsewang Rinpoche…and with numerous masters of all traditions. He has taught the profound Dharma of sutra and mantra to students of numerous nationalities. This teacher should be treated with reverence and respect. Doing so will bring goodness in this life and the next and establish a profound connection with the Buddha’s teachings. —Katok Getsé Rinpoche Khenpo Sherab Sangpo began his studies in Tibet with the famed master Petsé Rinpoche (Khenchen Padma Tsewang), with whom he studied for over twenty years. He became a monk at the age of seven at Gyalwa Phukhang Monastery, a branch of Dilgo Khyentsé Rinpoche’s Shechen Monastery. Under Petsé Rinpoche's guidance, he first studied Tibetan Buddhist ritual, eventually becoming one of the monastery's ritual leaders and chant masters. Even at a young age, he was renowned for his ability to memorize the vast number of texts used at the monastery and his command of Tibetan Buddhist ritual. Recognizing his great potential, Petsé Rinpoche enrolled his student in the monastery’s monastic college, Ngedön Shedrup Targyé Ling, when he was only thirteen years old. For years, the only task his master gave him was to memorize the countless texts that form the core of the Buddhist education system. Only once he had memorized them all and could recite them from memory did he go on to receive teachings on their meaning. A tireless teacher, Petsé Rinpoche often taught day after day for months on end, without taking a single day off.

  • Nepal: the Eyes of the Buddha with Atum & Emmanuel Oct 27Th – Nov
    Nepal: The Eyes Of The Buddha with Atum & Emmanuel th Oct 27th – Nov 7 2020 (Price $2150) Our pilgrimage will take us to the top of the world and into the heart of an enchanting, complex, resilient country. As pilgrims we will journey together through the mandala city of Kathmandu's ancient alleyways, to the natural beauty of villages in the foothills of the Himalayas, to the majestic mountain lakeside city of Pokhara. On our pilgrimage we will see Nepal’s culture from many different perspectives and experience an ancient and spiritual way of life. The exploration of identity and how a country lives its individual and collective lives will pose powerful questions and offer meaningful teachings about our own identity and lives. Religion is deeply ingrained into the Nepalese way of living. Together we will visit Buddhist pilgrimage sites, monasteries and Hindu temples that are a living transmission of a sacred place and culture. Nepal is home to one of the oldest forms of Buddhism. It is where Buddha was born and where Guru Rinpoche found enlightenment. It was Nepal that brought Buddhism to Tibet and Bhutan. Hinduism predates Buddhism and remains vividly alive, preserved and untouched by the Mughal invasion of India and subsequent upheavals. These two great religions and ways of life are interwoven and live side by side. Sacred places are often marked by temples or monuments to both religions and deities from both religions are honored and incarnated into each other’s religion. Temples, monasteries, stupas, monuments, and daily rituals fill Nepal from the streets to the mountaintops, and continue to be the center of life.

  • The Writings of Shabkar
    THE WRITINGS OF SHABKAR zhabs dkar tshogs drug rang grol (1781-1851) A descriptive catalogue Shechen Publications Shechen Publications EA 12 Inderpuri, New Delhi 110012 INDIA Tel: 91 11 2583 42 30 Email: [email protected] ISBN No 81-7472-103-7 THE WRITINGS OF ZHABS DKAR TSHOGS DRUG RANG GROL (1781-1851) A descriptive catalogue Since the publication of the English translation of the autobiography of Shabkar (zhabs dkar)1, almost all the writings of this great master have been rediscovered─chiefly at his seat in the valley of Rebkong (reb gong) in the province of Amdo (a mdo) in north-eastern Tibet, but also in central Tibet and Nepal. As a result of collaboration between the holders of Shabkar's lineage in Amdo, and Shechen (zhe chen) monastery in Nepal, the creation of a complete edition of the Collected Writings has now become possible. This has been published both in the Qinhai province (in a 12 volume book edition) and in India (in a 14 volume dpe cha edition). According to an inventory of the Writings (see SH 179) once preserved in Shabkar's own library at his seat at Yama Tashikhyil (g.ya' ma bkra shis 'khyil), it appears that, save for a few minor texts and an anthology of quotations (SH 102), all the major works have been recovered. In view of this, and in the interests of future research, it seemed useful to create a numerical referencing system for the works now available. The present catalogue includes one hundred and eighty titles from Shabkar's Collected Works (SH 1 to 180, see dkar chag SH 180), a number of manuscripts of early editions of various texts that were later included in the Works (SH-MAN 1-7), and some supplementary texts (rgyab chos, TP 1-13) from the rta phag yid bzhin nor bu cycle of teachings rediscovered by Terchen Kunzang Dechen Gyalpo (gter chen kun bzang bde chen rgyal po, born in 1736).
