Like Dreams and Clouds

by Wangdu on November 24, 2011

in Heart Wisdom Series,Publications

Emptiness & Interdependence
Mahamudra & Dzogchen

The Fourth book in the Heart Wisdom series, by Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, will be available from early December 2011. It is a beautiful and concise exploration of core topics of dharma practice which should interest new students and experienced practitioners alike.

Emptiness or Interdependence describes the key philosophical view of Buddhism. An experiential understanding of this is the basis for appreciating Buddhist teaching deeply. Ringu Tulku gives us a short, clear, step-by-step practical discussion of this central topic and looks at how it applies to our lives.

This teaching is combined in this edition with a revised edit of another favorite teaching by Ringu Tulku which was originally published as the first in the Heart Wisdom series. This covers Mahamudra and Dzogchen: approaches which provide skilful means and an overall path by which we can realize the true nature of ourselves, our world and all things – as none other than emptiness or interdependence.

This latest book of Rinpoche’s teachings is brought to you by a concerted effort of many students. With thanks to Margaret Ford for overseeing and coordinating the project to bring this teaching into concrete form and Paul O’Connor for continuing to provide inspiring layout for Rinpoche’s teachings. And with appreciation of the whole Bodhicharya Publications team, many of whom have contributed to this edition; and also all the students who organised teachings and took part in the gatherings this book came out of.

You can purchase this book by contacting Publications here or via Amazon.

k_bookHH The 17th Gyalwang Karmapa.

Translated by Ringu Tulku.

Paperback: 256 pages
Publisher: Hay House UK Ltd
ISBN-10: 1401923003
ISBN-13: 978-1401923006
Dimensions: 17.8 x 17.5 x 2.3 cm

One of the most important and revered figures in Tibetan Buddhism, the Karmapa shows how the wisdom of an ancient tradition resonates with our fast-paced, globally connected lives. His advice, insights and reflections on topics ranging from the environment and social responsibility to relationships and freedom are juxtaposed with bold and often unexpected contemporary images, which illuminate the timeless teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Open to any page and find guidance on how to live more consciously and caringly, and learn how to create a better world for yourself and future generations.

His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is the spiritual head of the Karma Kagyu, one of the major Tibetan Buddhist schools. The Karmapas are Tibet’s great wisdom teachers, and the oldest lineage in Tibetan Buddhism. The 17th Karmapa’s dramatic escape to India in 1999 and his current mission to be of benefit to people of all cultures have propelled him onto the world stage. In 2008, he made his historic first visit to America. The 17th Karmapa currently resides at Gyuto Tantric Monastery, near Dharamsala, India.

Reviews:

“This book is an actual meeting with this great spiritual being. It is a feast for the eyes, a spur to the intellect, and a balm for the heart. As I moved from spread to spread of always significant and beautiful photography, I savored the aphorisms and found them moving, thought-provoking, and delightful. It is historic in a unique way. I totally recommend it.”

– Robert Thurman, Prof. of Buddhist Studies, Columbia University; President, Tibet House US

“In our times of conflict and imbalance, the presence of great beings of wisdom and compassion, such as the 17th Karmapa, is a powerful source of hope and inspiration, and a reminder that we must be the change that we want to see in the world. His words of wisdom provide deep insights into our modern world, symbolized here by the striking images gathered in this wonderful book.”

- Matthieu Ricard, author of Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill

“The youthful Karmapa is emerging as one of the great spiritual teachers of the modern age, with a wisdom and facility to distill the traditional complexities of Buddhist philosophy into contemporary values and truths. The Future is Now will enrich and inspire people of all ages and beliefs.”

– Mick Brown, author of The Dance of 17 Lives: The Incredible Story of Tibet’s 17th Karmapa
