綠度母法

དགོངས་གཏེར་སྒྲོལ་མའི་ཟབ་ཏིག་ལས་མཎྜལ་ཆོ་ག་ཚོགས་གཉིས་སྙིང་པོ་།

EPUB 🎧 PDF 🎧

此法門要求修法者持續複誦毗盧遮那佛在密續中宣說的《聖多羅二十一種禮讚文》,大部分的藏人都能背誦此禮讚文、所以原本的儀軌中並沒有完整收錄進去,但為了方便東、西方的電子版讀者,我們將禮讚文完整放回法本中相對的位置,也附上由第十七世大寶法王親誦之《聖多羅二十一種禮讚文》及《蓮師祈請文》的錄音。另,由於此法屬於伏藏法、因此傳統上都會先唸誦蓮師的祈請文,我們也已將其補充回去。同理,我們還增添了蓮師和耶喜措嘉其他幾個重要祈請文的超連結,這些祈請文也以除障、滿願作為主要的目的,行者可以選擇性的唸誦它們。

The Sadhana of the Vision of Lord Karma Pakshi

From the Mind Treasure of the Great Terton Mingyur Dorje
རྗེ་ཀརྨ་པཀྵི་ཞལ་གཟིགས་མའི་ལས་བྱང་༔

EPUB PDF

This practice text was composed by the great terton Mingyur Dorje, who had a vision of the Second Karmapa Karma Pakshi as the embodiment of all the gurus, yidams, dakas, dakinis and Dharma protectors — the single source of the Three Jewels and the Three Roots. Later other masters, like the Fourteenth Karmapa Tekchok Dorje or Palden Khyentse Özer, the Second Jamgön Rinpoche, added the ritual parts and supplications to create a complete sadhana used nowadays. It should be used with care and only by those who received the appropriate empowerment, transmission and instructions from a qualified lama.

The Short Vajradhara Prayer

A Teaching on the Lineage and Sustaining One’s Nature

EPUB KINDLE PDF

From the Preface: “The Dorje Chang Tungma is probably the most well-known of the Kagyu prayers, traditionally recited before teaching sessions and often recited by practitioners as part of their daily practice. Nearly everyone knows this prayer by heart, but such familiarity can be dangerous. It is all too easy to recite the prayer mindlessly, like a parrot, without focusing on the words or reflecting on the meaning of what we are saying. By studying it, we should gain deeper understanding and be able to appreciate its profundity more fully.”

Siddhas of Ga

EPUB PDF

A Bouquet of Utpalas: Brief accounts of the lives of siddhas of Ga whom my guru actually met or whose stories he heard from trustworthy sources, set forth here as medicine to restore faith.
Most of the holy beings whose lives are recounted here began as ordinary people like us, and were not recognized emanations of buddhas or bodhisattvas. This book clearly demonstrates that we can, through diligence, achieve the same result. Beautifully recorded by Lama Karma Drodhul, these are stories of siddhas that Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche actually knew. Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche once remarked that there is nothing like these accounts of Siddhas of Ga.

Amrita of Eloquence

A Biography of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche

PDF

Amrita of Eloquence is beautifully written by Lama Karma Drodhul (Rinpoche’s nephew and disciple), and elegantly translated by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso, with a foreword by the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, and prefaces by the Ninth Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche and the Ninth Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche. Originally composed by Lama Karma Drodhul at the request of the abbot of Thrangu Monastery, Lodroe Nyima Rinpoche, for Thrangu Monastery in East Tibet. Though it is composed in the traditional style of Tibetan spiritual biographies, it is nonetheless completely accessible to modern readers. The importance of such biographies cannot be overestimated: studying the life of one’s guru gives rise to spontaneous devotion and that leads to awakening.

The Eight Verses of Training the Mind

EPUB KINDLE PDF   Apple Books

The Gyalwang Karmapa has taught Geshe Langri Thangpa’s Eight Verses of Training the Mind on several occasions. Though short, this text gets to the core of Mahayana practice, and each time he teaches it, he emphasizes different themes. In this particular teaching, he stressed how we need to bring our practice to bear on the difficulties that face us in our life and our dharma practice — an issue that all practitioners must face if their practice is to be effective.

Compassion NOW!

EPUB PDF

Compassion NOW! exhorts us to translate compassionate feeling into positive action in the world. From a teaching given in India in 2010, the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa asserts that having compassion for oneself is a necessary starting point. From there we can expand compassion to include those beings with whom we have a close connection, and from there expand it even further to develop immeasurable compassion for all sentient beings. We accomplish this through the mahayana practice of mind training, which the Karmapa discusses here with great clarity and insight. An overview of the vajrayana method of meditation on Chenrezik, the bodhisattva of compassion, is also included.
