Ways of Enlightenment by Lama Mipham
A non-sectarian guide to the Buddha's essential teachings, this text communicates the sense of Buddhism as a comprehensive whole. Inspired by Lama Mipham's Khenjug (Gateway to Expertise), this carefully researched outline relies closely on traditional works to introduce basic concepts, terminology, and maps of consciousness important for independent study and practice. Includes an extended treatment of meditation and wisdom as interlocking parts of the Buddhist path. An indispensable resource for Western students of the Dharma. Ways of Enlightenment encourages Western students of the Dharma to explore the teachings of the Buddha in their own experience and discover for themselves the way of enlightenment. Eighteen sections include: -Awakening to the Four Noble Truths -Discipline, Concentration, Wisdom -Three Traditional Vehicles -Linking Faith and Knowledge -Basic Abhidharma Analyses -Patterns of Mind and Senses -Observing Subject and Object -Interdependent Co-operation -Three Realms of Samsara -The Five Spiritual Faculties -Creative Force of Karma and Emotion -Freedom from Delusion -Steps on the Path of Liberation -Indestructible AwakeningLama Mipham (1846-1912), a famous Nyingma lama, was a key figure in the ecumenical (Rime) movement, which sparked a resurgence of study and practice throughout Tibet. His commentaries on Indian root texts and other works have remained a mainstay of Tibetan lineage studies to this day. Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche is a Tibetan lama who was born in Golok, Tibet. In 1958, he fled Tibet for exile in India. Rinpoche began reproducing endangered Tibetan manuscripts as a refugee in India, where he taught at Varanasi's Sanskrit University.
He migrated to the United States in 1968 and has been living and working there ever since. Rinpoche has launched over 20 organizations dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Buddhist learning in Asia and the West. Tarthang Tulku has written over two dozen works, including Gesture of Balance; Time, Place, and Knowledge- A New Vision of Reality; Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga; Skillful Ways, Revelations of Mind, and Caring.
