In the early days of Vajrayana few Tibetan Lamas visited Britain, and eager students were often prepared to travel considerable distances to receive instruction. Yet some sought out a young Englishman recently returned from the Himalayas. Inspired by the magic and mystery of Tibet, they were keen to discover the lived meaning. Ngak’chang Rinpoche’s teachings were simple, direct, and experiential. The four evening talks contained here deal with the themes studied by everyone exploring Buddhism in depth: the four noble truths, eightfold path, causality, compassion and refuge. This material is discussed in creative contemporary English, and presented from a perspective informed by Dzogchen. Rinpoche was first asked to teach by Gétsulma Tsültrim Zangmo, a Western nun whom Rinpoche named ’ö-Zér Nyima after she received Dzogchen transmissions from him. ’ö-Zér Nyima means Rays of the Sun and this book is dedicated to the memory of this extraordinary English woman.

Khandro Déchen Tsédrüp Rolpa'i Yeshé is a Nyingma Lama who teaches in the Dzogchen lineage of Aro Lingma. Her clear, direct and detailed handbook of sKu-mNyé (kum nye) enables one to enter the dimension of energy revealed through Dzogchen longdé, the series of space. 35 elemental exercises cover 7 dynamic movements from each series of symbolic animals: lion, vulture, tiger, eagle, and garuda. Aro sKu-mNyé can be practised by almost anyone as the forms range from simple to challenging, from mild to strongly aerobic. The theoretical background to the exercises is explained in simple contemporary English, which is accessible to those with no experience of Vajrayana Buddhism, yet will be of value and interest to those who have practised intensively and studied the tradition in depth. The exercises are finely illustrated by Pauline Williams in a western life-drawing style that portrays real-life practitioners rather than perfect iconographic bodies of yogis and yoginis.

2009 revised edition. A Buddhist book exploring the sutric teaching of ‘The Four Thoughts that turn the Mind to Practice’ as vividly relevant to our everyday lives: the extraordinarily precious opportunity to live as an honourable human being; the experience of impermanence that pervades our existence as an opportunity to awaken; the emotional and psychological patterning which dominates our lives (karma); and the seemingly endless cycle of dissatisfaction in which we imprison ourselves. Each chapter ends with a series of questions and answers which are both pragmatic and inspirational. Ngakma Nor'dzin has been a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism for more than twenty years.

In his endless kindness to Vajrayana practitioners, Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche quotes from the gTérmas of Chögyal Ratna Lingpa, Sang-gyé Lingpa, Rig’dzin Go’dem, Düd’dül Dorje, gTértön Longsel, Thugchog Dorje, Dro’dül Lingpa, and Ma-gÇig Labdrön, in order to explain the non-ordinary visionary history which illuminates the deleterious nature of tobacco. Warnings concerning tobacco have been revealed as gTérmas since the first spread of Buddhism in Tibet, and therefore authentic Nyingma practitioners cannot have association with tobacco. D üd’jom Rinpoche’s treatise deals with demonic intentionality as discussed in the gTérmas of the great gTértöns, and is thus mainly influential with those Vajrayana practitioners who have confidence in Padmasambhava and the gTérma tradition. It should, however, be of interest to other Buddhists – and to people in general – that such warnings have existed for so long and that they are so vehement.

Dans son amour sans faille pour les pratiquants du Vajrayana, Kyabjé Düd'jom Rinpoche cite les gTérmas de Chögyal Ratna Lingpa, Sang-gyé Lingpa, Rig'dzin Go’dem, Düd’dül Dorje, gTértön Longsel, Thugchog Dorje, Dro’dül Lingpa, et Ma-gÇig Labdrön, afin d’expliciter l’histoire visionnaire non-ordinaire qui illumine la nature dangereuse du tabac. Depuis la première dissémination du Bouddhisme au Tibet, de nombreux gTérmas ont proscrit la consommation de tabac. Le texte de Düd’jom Rinpoche traite de l’intentionnalité démoniaque du tabac telle qu’elle est décrite dans les gTérmas des grands gTértöns, et les pratiquants du Vajrayana qui ont confiance en Padmasambhava et la tradition des gTérmas s’y fieront. Mais ce texte sera également utile pour d’autres Bouddhistes de par la véhémence et l'ancienneté qui caractérisent ces avertissements.

In seiner unendlichen Freundlichkeit zu den Vajrayana Praktizierenden zitiert Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche Texte aus den gTérmas von Chögyal Ratna Lingpa, Sang-gyé Lingpa, Rig’dzin Go’dem, Düd’dül Dorje, gTértön Longsel, Thugchog Dorje, Dro’dül Lingpa und Ma-gCig Labdrön, um die nicht-gewöhnliche visionäre Geschichte zu erklären, welche ein Licht auf die schädliche Natur des Tabaks wirft. Den Tabak betreffende Warnungen sind seit der ersten Verbreitung des Buddhismus in Tibet immer wieder als gTérmas aufgetaucht und deshalb können authentische Nyingma Praktizierende kein positives Verhältnis zum Tabak haben.

En su infinita bondad con los practicantes de Vajrayana, Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche cita los gTérmas de Chögyal Ratna Lingpa, Sang-gyé Lingpa, Rig’dzin Go’dem, Düd’dül Dorje, gTértön Longsel, Thugchog Dorje, Dro’dül Lingpa, y Ma-gÇig Labdrön, para relatar la historia visionaria no ordinaria que desvela la naturaleza nociva del tabaco. Las advertencias sobre el tabaco han sido reveladas como gTérmas desde la primera propagación del Budismo en el Tíbet, por lo tanto los auténticos practicantes Nyingma no pueden estar asociados al tabaco. El tratado de Dúd´jom Rinpoche nos habla de intencionalidad demoniaca tal como está expresada en los gTérmas de los grandes gTértönes, y ejerce así su influencia principalmente en los practicantes de Vajrayana que tienen confianza en Padmasambhava y la tradición gTérma.

I sin oändliga vänlighet gentemot varjayanautövare citerar Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche från gTérmas utav Chögyal Ratna Lingpa, Sang-gyé Lingpa, Rig’dzin Go’dem, Düd’dül Dorje, gTértön Longsel, Thugchog Dorje, Dro’dül Lingpa, och Ma-gÇig Labdrön, för att förklara den ickeordinära visionära historien som kastar ljus över tobakens skadliga natur. Varningar angående tobak har blivit upptäckta som gTérmas sedan den första spridningen av buddhism i Tibet och därför kan inte autentiska Nyingmautövare förknippa sig med tobak. Düd’jom Rinpoche's text avhandling behandlar demonisk avsiktlighet som den diskuteras i de stora gTértönas gTérmor och är därför främst inflytelserik för de vajrayanautövare som har tillit till Padmasambhava och gTérmatraditionen. Det borde hursomhelst vara av intresse för andra buddhister – och för folk i allmänhet – att sådana varningar har existerat så länge och att de är så starka.
