Transformation of Suffering:  A Handbook for practitioners

"My intention in writing this book was to teach every level of practitioner the nature of samsara and nirvana. For this reason, there are especially detailed chapters on suffering and bodhicitta. When reading about suffering, it is very important to remain objective and not let it become depressing. As one reads further, it is my hope that the reader will gain a clear understanding of how samsara is a state of suffering and how, through the method of bodhicitta practice, it can be used as a means of purification. Human beings have the ability to cultivate virtue and dispel ignorance. Precisely because of this inborn potential for enlightenment, humans can liberate themselves from suffering and all its causes. Therefore, we should always rejoice at our good fortune to learn about sufferings and how to be freed form it."  As an expression of his heartfelt understanding of Dharma, Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche elegantly explains the true nature of samsara and nirvana.  This book illuminates the nature of existence, suffering, karma, impermanence, and the manifestation of bodhicitta in reaching ultimate wisdom.   These practices are useful not only for the achievement of enlightenment, but in our daily lives as well.

Prayer Flags: The Spiritual Life and Songs of Lord Jigten Sumgon

The great Jigten Sumgon, founder of the Drikung Kagyu tradition, was widely lauded as a bodhisattva and extraordinary master.   There are no other great teacher in Tibet who gathered together so many disciples as him.  It is said,"The mountains are filled with Drikungpa practitioners, and all the plains are filled with Drikungpa patrons."  Many of his disciples attained enlightenment in one lifetime.  This book starts with the life stories of his predecessor Gampopa, Phagmo Drupa, his grandmother-- Achi Chokyi Drolma and Jigten Sumgön himself.  It is followed by a series of inspiring and powerful varje songs full of heartfelt devotion.   One of the main study and practices of the Drikung Kagyudpa written by Jigten Sumgön is the Fivefold Profound Path of Mahamudra.  These five paths are : 1) the practice of bodhicitta; 2) yidam practice; 3) the guru yoga four kayas practice; 4) Mahamudra practice; 5) dedication of sharing merit practice.  If any of these practices are missing, then the fruit will not ripen.  This book includes a brief translation of an explanation of the Fivefold Profound Path of Mahamudra.  Finally, three essence transformation meditation practices are included.  They are transforming the conflicting emotions onto the Path of Enlightenment, transforming sickness onto the Path of Enlightenment and transforming the experiences of death.

Jewel Ornament of Liberation: The Wish-fulfilling Gem of the Noble Teachings by Gampopa, translated by Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche and edited by Ani K. Trinlay Chödron

More than eight centuries ago, Gompopa wrote Jewel Ornament after he had been established as Milarepa's prime student. This important text has long been studied and used by sages of Tibet, and now it is available to serious Dharma practitioners in the West.  This text provides a complete foundation for Buddhist study and practices, the philosophy taught by Shakyamuni Buddha circa 560CE. The 21 chapters systematically lay out the path one must travel towards Buddhahood—the primary cause (Buddha nature), the working basis (Precious human life), the contributory cause (The Spiritual Master), the methods (impermanence, karma, suffering, the cultivation of bodhicitta, the development of the six perfection, the ten Bodhisattva bhumis), the result (Perfect Buddhahodd) and the activities (Activities of the Buddha). This is an excellent text that reflects the blending of two systems of teaching- the Lamrim tradition coming from Atisha and the Mahamudra tradition coming from Naropa. As Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen says in his commentary, "Anyone who knows the Jewel Ornament well can say that they really understand Buddhism."

This text is compiled by Dorje Dze Öd, who follows Jigten Sumgon in teh unbroken lineage, recounts the lives of the great Kagyu lineage holders, such as Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa, Milarepa, Atisha, Gampopa, Phagmodrupa and Jigten Sumgon.  The Kagyu lineage is also known as the lineage of transmission.   It is so designated because the Tibetan word Ka signifies oral teachings, or the Buddha's own teachings, which gyu means lineage.  This noble line has been likened to a golden rosary, for each of the individuals constituting it is as precious and perfect as the finest gold:  Each is a repository of extraordinary realization, learning and attainment, and each confers upon the next the Deep pointing Out instruction which cause the direct perception of the nature of the mind as Mahamudra.   To meet these Lamas, even if only through the medium of the written word, is an event of such power that any person making that contact will not be reborn in the lower realms for many lifetimes.  These life stories are therefore more than just history;   they are an example which inspires one to follow the path.  They become a cause for freeing us from samsara, enabling us to dispel mental obstacles and achieve Enlightenment.  Thus, the publication of such a text as The Great Kagyu Masters: The Golden Lineage Treasury represents a blessing indeed!

The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa

Most beloved and inspiring Tibetan saint regardless of tradition, Milarepa, who transformed himself from a great sinner to an enlightened being in one life. Because of his direct perception of samsara, his great renunciation, and his willingness to endure hardship, he achieved the realization of all the great Buddha qualities and became an instrument for perpetuating the Dharma in Tibet by effortlessly composing the vajra "doha" songs.  He wandered from village to village, teaching enlightenment and the path to Buddhohood through his spontaneously composed songs.  Wherever he went, crowds of people gathered to hear his sweet-sounding voice "singing the Dharma."

The Way of the Bodhisattva, Bodhicharyavatara by Shantideva, translated by the Padmakara Translation Group

The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara, literally "An Entry into the Activities of Enlightenment") is one of the great classics of Mahayana Buddhism.  Presented in the form of a personal meditation in verse, it outlines the path of the bodhisattvas -- those beings who, turning side from the suffering of the world of samsara, nevertheless renounce the peace of individual salvation and vow to work for the benefit of all sentient beings, and to attain enligtenment for their sake.  Shantideva begins with a celebration of the mind of enlightenment, explaining in detail now this is cultivated.  There are chapters devoted to the transcendent perfections of patience, heroic perseverance, meditation, and wisdom.   The teaching on meditation culminates in the profound practices of equality and exchange of self and other.  The ninth chapter presents the direct realization of emptiness, the perfection of wisdom.  Throughout the verses of this text, Shantideva is able to communicate the qualtites of precision, contemplative experience, and lyrical beauty, which have served to inspire generations of spiritual aspirants.

Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, Bodhipathapradipa by Atisha, commentary by Geshe Sonam Rinchen, translated by Ruth Sonam

Atisha, the eleventh-century Indian Buddhist scholar and saint.   Atisha's most celebrated text, this was written for the Tibetan people at the request of Jangchub Wö.  It sets forth the entire Buddhist path within the framework of there levels of motivation on the part  of the practitioner, represented by the Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana paths.  It explains clearly the way to Enlightenment which is reached by an inner journey along five paths and ten stages of insight.   Since it illuminates and dispels lack of understanding as well as misunderstanding, it is a lamp of good explaination.  Atisha's text thus became the source of the lamrim tradition, or graduated stages of the path to Enlightenment, an approach to spiritual practice incorporated within all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

The Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas by Gyelsay Togmay Sangpo, commentary by Geshe Sonam Rinchen, translated by Ruth Sonam

Recognizing their true potential and letting go of everything which could hinder them on their spiritual journey, Bodhisattvas entrust themselves to the path taught by the Buddha.  resisting disturbing emotions, they learn to respond to difficult situations in a constructive way.  fully understanding the nature of reality and the illusion-like nature of pleasure and pain, they overcome clinging attachment and aversion.   In these ways, bodhisattvas come to cherish living beings as the source of all happiness and are ultimately able to work solely for the good of all.  Gyelsay Togmay Sangpo wrote this book in the fourteenth century.  His succinct and simple verses of advice summarize the quintessence of the Mahayana path to perfection.
