 school of Buddhism, with the Tibetan version of the text included.<Br><Br>The Root Stanzas holds an honored place in all branches of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as in the Buddhist traditions found in China, Japan, and Korea, because of the way it develops the seminal view of emptiness (shunyata), which is crucial to understanding Mahayana Buddhism and central to its practice. It is prized for its pithy and pointed arguments that show that things lack intrinsic being and thus are “empty” (shunya). They abide in the Middle Way, free from the extremes of permanence and annihilation.'); "Show Product Detail"){kind=spacer}

"Essence of Tantra" by the Dalai Lama discusses tantra for practice, refuge, the three paths, greatness of mantra, clear light, and initiation. "The Great Exposition of Secret Mantra--Part 1" by Tsongkhapa is one of the principal classic texts on tantra. It presents the main features common to all the Buddhist tantra systems as well as the differences between sutra and tantra. In this volume Tsongkhapa covers paths to Buddhahood, vajra vehicle, deity yoga, and method in the four tantras. "Supplement" by Jeffrey Hopkins discusses the meaning of emptiness, transformation, and the purpose of the four tantras.'); "Show Product Detail"){kind=spacer}

One of these, considered the definitive text of the Yog?c?ra school of Buddhism, is the encyclopedic synthesis of Mahayana Buddhist doctrines and practices known as the Yog?c?rabh?mi, or "Stages of Spiritual Practice." The Bodhisattvabh?mi, or "Stages of the Bodhisattva Path," is one portion of that massive work, though it is considered a stand-alone text in the Tibetan traditions--for example, it is counted among the six core texts of the Kadampas. However, despite the text\'s centrality to the Yog?c?ra school and its seminal importance in the Tibetan traditions, it has remained unavailable in English except in piecemeal translations; Engle\'s translation will therefore be especially welcomed by scholars and students alike.'); "Show Product Detail"){kind=spacer}

 focuses on what he considers the heart of that practice: tonglen, the practice of exchanging self for other, for taking in others\' pain and suffering and sending out kindness, ease, and consolation. It\'s a powerful method for developing compassion of the most tranformative kind, and its supreme expression is found in the classic text The Great Path of Awakening by Jamgon Kongtrül. This book is Dzigar Kongtrül\'s commentary on that beloved text, based on a series of talks he gave on it. It includes his fresh translation of the Great Path, and it is full of his characteristic humor as well as his skill in translating esoteric concepts into terms that not only are easily understood but that speak directly to the heart.'); "Show Product Detail"){kind=spacer}
