• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The gray clouds of ego come and go but the blue sky of totality is always there. It's always been there, it's there now and it will always be there. The essential clean-clear nature of the mind is like the sky: always there. The heavy blanket of ego is laid on top of that but it is not inextricably mixed with it.
Lama Yeshe

This collection contains teachings Lama Yeshe gave in England in 1976 and the Netherlands in 1980. Lama taught mainly on refuge and bodhicitta and also gave a public lecture on the nature of the mind. Clean clear as always.

Everybody loved attending Lama's teachings. Even though they were profound, Lama presented them very lightly, with pertinent contemporary examples, a lot of laughter and frequent jokes. "I'm joking, dear; ah, I'm joking so much!" But then every now and then he would remind students, "I'm not joking when I say I'm joking!"

Compiled and edited by Nicholas Ribush, this book is the second volume in a series of Lama Yeshe's collected teachings, the first volume being Knowledge-Wisdom: The Peaceful Path to Liberation. Since the topics are similar there is a little repetition, but according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche, repetition never hurts. This is not an academic work and is essentially an introduction to fundamental Tibetan Buddhist teachings on refuge and bodhicitta.

Autorenporträt

Lama Thubten Yeshe was born in Tibet in 1935. At the age of six, he entered the great Sera Monastic University, Lhasa, where he studied until 1959, when the Chinese invasion of Tibet forced him into exile in India. Lama Yeshe continued to study and meditate in India until 1967, when, with his chief disciple, Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, he went to Nepal. Two years later he established Kopan Monastery, near Kathmandu, Nepal, in order to teach Buddhism to Westerners.

In 1974, the Lamas began making annual teaching tours to the West, and as a result of these travels a worldwide network of Buddhist teaching and meditation centers - the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) - began to develop.

In 1984, after an intense decade of imparting a wide variety of incredible teachings and establishing one FPMT activity after another, at the age of forty-nine, Lama Yeshe passed away. He was reborn as Ösel Hita Torres in Spain in 1985, recognized as the incarnation of Lama Yeshe by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1986, and, as the monk Lama Tenzin Osel Rinpoche, began studying for his geshe degree in 1992 at the reconstituted Sera Monastery in South India. Lama's remarkable story is told in Vicki Mackenzie's book, Reincarnation: The Boy Lama (Wisdom Publications, 1996). Other teachings have been published by Wisdom Books, including Wisdom Energy; Introduction to Tantra; The Tantric Path of Purification (Becoming Vajrasattva) and more.

Thousands of pages of Lama's teachings have been made available as transcripts, books and audio by the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, and most are freely available through the Archive's website at LamaYeshe.com.
