Shamar Rinpoche Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

From the author's original teaching at the pilgrimage site of Bodh Gaya, India, at an international program held during an auspicious Buddhist gathering. Bilingual presentation of the prayer in Tibetan with English translation.

The Tenth Karmapa (1604-1674) lived through dramatic changes in Tibet, including the rise to political supremacy of the Fifth Dalai Lama and the Gelug sect following a Mongol invasion. Regarded as a remarkable bodhisattva and artist, the Karmapa has largely escaped the close attention of modern scholars. In this book, Shamar Rinpoche, the Fourteenth Shamarpa, introduces the Tenth Karmapa through his translations of the Karmapa's autobiographical writings and an eighteenth century biography of him. As a direct lineage-descendant from the Sixth Shamarpa--the Karmapa's guru--the Shamar Rinpoche shares his unique knowledge and experience through extensive annotations and a historical overview of Tibet from the thirteenth through seventeenth century. The text of A Golden Swan in Turbulent Waters: The Life and Times of the Tenth Karmapa Choying Dorje is complemented by maps and color illustrations depicting places where the Karmapa lived and his prolific artistic work, with some object images being published for the first time.

An excellent book for people interested in meditation, from beginners to advanced. The practice of meditation leads to a mind that is more peaceful, tranquil, and at ease. Because the mind is more relaxed, events that usually disturb us seem to take on less importance, and we stop taking them in such a serious way. Likewise, through meditation the mind gradually learns to be independent of external conditions and circumstances, discovering its own stability and tranquility. A stable mind leads to the experience of less suffering in our lives.

In Toward Awakening: The Bodhi Path Program, Künzig Shamar Rinpoche offers his vision of focused Dharma practice with the power to lead practitioners in today's world toward achieving the state of awakening. His emphasis lies in general on Mahāyāna Buddhism as the essential support of such practice, and in particular on the path of Mahāmudrā as transmitted in the Kagyü tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. From these perspectives, he describes the various elements of meditation practice, that is, the path of Dharma to be walked consistently. In addition, he recommends the study of certain Buddhist topics which can help a meditator to navigate through the different layers of his or her spiritual practice and encourages practitioners to develop the right view which can then lead the meditation

"Transforming adverse circumstances into the path of awakening."

This book presents teachings that Shamar Rinpoche gave on buddha nature in Dhagpo Kagyu Ling, France. In a very inspiring way, the author clearly points out what really the heart of awakening is nothing other than our true nature, and therefore all of us, in fact every sentient being, can awaken to their buddha qualities. Shamar Rinpoche bases his explanations on the text "Revealing Buddha Nature" by the 3rd Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje (1284-1339). A translation by the book's translator of the underlying text is also included.

Im Dezember 2009 gab Künzig Shamar Rinpoche in Bodhgaya/Indien Unterweisungen zum Sangchö Mönlam, dem „König unter den Wegen des Strebens nach dem Vollendeten Wirken der Edlen“, auch bekannt als das „Wunschgebet Samantabhadras“. Auf der Basis dieser Unterweisungen entstand dieses Buch.Der große Bodhisattva Samantabhadra ist ein Symbol für das letztendliche Resultat aller Bemühungen auf dem Bodhisattva Weg. Buddha Shakyamuni gab die Erklärungen zum Wunschgebet Samantabhadras, um Praktizierende zu motiivieren, sich den großen Bodhisattva Samantabhadra als Vorbild zu nehmen und es ihm gleich zu tun, sodass all ihre Wünsche, all ihre Bestrebungen, in Erfüllung gehen.

Anleitungen zum Mahayana-Geistestraining Das Geistestraining (Lojong) ist eine umfassende, buddhistische Praxis und beinhaltet den gesamten Weg des Mahayana. Bis heute nimmt es in allen Schulen des tibetischen Buddhismus einen wesentlichen Stellenwert ein.

Shamar Rinpoche gibt in diesem Buch detailliert Kommentare zu Ja Chekawa Yeshe Dorjes Wurzeltext Geistestraining in Sieben Punkten sowie einführende Erklärungen zu Philosophie und Meditation, die den Lojong-Lehren zugrunde liegen.
