The Precious Treasury of Philosophical Systems discusses the philosophical tenets of the entire spectrum of Buddhist teachings--Hinayana, Mahayana, Vajrayana, and Dzogchen--providing an invaluable perspective on the multifaceted nature of the Buddhist tradition in both India and Tibet. On the basis of his extensive research and nonsectarian viewpoint, Longchenpa analyzes Tibetan Buddhism according to Sarma and Nyingma interpretations, concluding with the innermost teachings of the Dzogchen approach.

This is the fourth volume in our ongoing project to translate Longchenpa’s Seven Treasuries and includes an introduction by the Ven. Tulku Thondup Rinpoche and a foreword by H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche. The translator wishes to thank the Tsadra Foundation (www.tsadra.org) for its generous support during the final stage of the editing of this book. Hardcover

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

"From the 2,500-year-old perspective of Buddhism," Yongey Mingyur writes, "every chapter in human history could be described as an 'age of anxiety.' So what do we do? Escape or succumb? "

"Buddhism," he says, "offers a third option by looking directly at the disturbing emotions and other problems we experience in our lives. Instead of rejecting or surrendering, we can befriend these emotions to reach an enduring authentic experience of our inherent wisdom, confidence, clarity, and joy." Softcover.

Hal Stone & Sidra Stone

"The inner critic. It whispers, whines, and needles us into place. It checks our thoughts, controls our behavior, and inhibits action. It thinks it is protecting us from being disliked, hurt, or abandoned. Instead, the critical inner voice causes shame, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and low self-esteem. It acts as a powerful saboteur of our intimate relationships and is a major contributor to drug and alcohol abuse."

Through examples and exercises, the Stones show us how to recognize the critic, how to avoid or minimize "critic attacks," and, most important, how the inner critic can become an intelligent, perceptive, and supportive partner in life. Softcover.

Lion of Siddhas
The Life and Teachings of Padampa Sangye

Translated by David Molk
with Lama Tsering Wangdu Rinpoche

Best known as Machig Labdron's teacher, the Indian mahasiddha Padampa Sangye carried the lineage of Chod to Tibet and Buddha's words to China. Padampa Sangye's teaching methods were unorthodox and sometimes extreme: this transcendent and irascible teacher encouraged his disciples to disregard social conventions and go beyond cultural conditioning. Inspiring innumerable highly realized disciples, many of whom were women, his teachings can be found in monasteries and retreat hermitages throughout all schools of Tibetan Buddhism and continue to be practiced with undiminished enthusiasm and diligence.

Lion of Siddhas presents two previously untranslated texts: a biography of Padampa Sangye and a rare collection of his verbal and nonberbal teachings, called Mahamudra in Symbols, recorded by his chief Tibetan disciple almost a thousand years ago. Softcover.

That Bird Has My Wings
The Autobiography of an Innocent Man on Death Row

Jarvis Jay Masters

In poignant prose, That Bird Has My Wings shows first-hand how children trapped in poverty don’t have many choices. Born into an environment of crime, raised in a broken system of foster care and juvenile halls, Jarvis Jay Masters was set upon a dangerous course which eventually brought him to San Quentin’s death row. Largely through many years of serious Buddhist meditation and study, Mr. Master's autobiography portrays courageous kindness in daily life coupled with deep remorse and cautionary tales. Softcover

"One cannot be neutral in situations of injustice, and in his memoir, That Bird Has My Wings, Jarvis Jay Masters exposes the complex problems of a system that has resulted in a disproportionate number of blacks in the U.S. prison system. Forthright about his own failings as well, Masters’ truth has brought him reconciliation with the divine and with his best self."

Touching Enlightenment

Reginald A. Ray, Ph.D.

"The body is our forest, our jungle, the 'outlandish' expanse where we might allow ourselves to be stripped down to our most irreducible person and see what, if anything, remains. In this, I am speaking . . . about the body that we meet when we are willing to descend into it, to surrender into its darness and its mysteries, and to explore it with our awareness." - from Touching Enlightenment

Too often spiritual practitioners attempt to transcend the body and end up wondering why the spiritual understanding they seek remains so elusive. Reginald Ray explains how the rich, loamy, and constantly changing sensations, feelings, and impulses of the body - far from being an impediment to spiritual realization - are actually the doorway to pristine awareness.

Jett Psaris, Ph.D. and Marlena S. Lyons, Ph.D.

"The way that you felt about yourself when you first fell in love is the way you can feel all the time."

A. H. Almaas

A. H. Almaas presents a marvelously effective practice for developing the transformative quality of presence. Through a particular method of self-observation and contemplative exploration that he calls inquiry, we learn to live in the relaxed condition of simply "being ourselves," without interference from feelings of inadequacy, drivenness toward goals, struggling to figure things out, and rejecting experiences we don't want.

Almaas explores the many obstacles that keep us from being present--including defensiveness, ignorance, desire, aggression, and self-hared--and shows us how to welcome with curiosity and compassion whatever we are experiencing. Softcover.

". . . probably the most balanced of the widely available spiritual psychologies/therapies." ~ Ken Wilbur
