The Lamp That Enlightens Narrow Minds: The Life and Times of a Realized Tibetan Master, Khyentse Chokyi Wangchug presents an engaging account of the life of Khyentse Chokyi Wangchug, a realized Tibetan tulku (reincarnated lama or teacher). The books historical references provide a detailed portrait of Tibet on the verge of invasion and occupation by Chinese forces in the decades leading up to 1959 when Chinese repression led the Dalai Lama to take refuge in India. Narrated by Chokyi Wangchugs nephew, author and international Tibetan teacher Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, this inspired biography describes the extraordinary events of Chokyi Wangchugs life during this momentous period in Tibetan history. Born in 1909 in a valley south of Derge, an ancient center of Tibetan culture, Chokyi Wangchug was recognized at an early age as a reincarnation of a tulku and thus received Buddhist teachings from the greatest masters of the epoch. A privileged observer of his uncles life, Namkhai Norbu reveals the complexity of Tibetan Buddhist hierarchy and the conflicts caused not only by Chinese forces, but also by people close to Chokyi Wangchug who had become members of factions motivated by bigotry and personal greed. Despite the difficulties he encountered, he maintained a state of equanimity and dedicated himself to a life of peace and compassion for all sentient beings. Ultimately tortured and imprisoned by the Chinese, he and two other realized Tibetan teachers passed away at the same moment while meditating.

A History of Zhang Zhung and Tibet, Volume One explores ancient Tibets Zhang Zhung kingdom and Bon religion that preceded the advent of Buddhism in the seventh century. Countering the long-held idea that Tibets pre-Buddhist indigenous culture was primitive and undeveloped, this book shares the rich cultural origins of the kingdom of Zhang Zhung--the "cradle of Tibetan culture," which encompassed a vast area of Western and Northern Tibet in an area that includes sacred Mount Kailash. Presenting the meticulous research of internationally known Dzogchen Buddhist teacher and scholar Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, the book investigates the mysteries of Zhang Zhungs Bon religion, a set of shamanistic and animistic beliefs and practices only recently studied by a handful of academic scholars. Offering a critical analysis of a vast array of literary and primary sources, Norbu discusses the role of the Bon traditions within Zhang Zhungs lineages, dynasties, and culture. Examining Zhang Zhungs written language, sacred ornaments, rock carvings, healing practices, music, and magical divination techniques, Norbu contributes to an understanding of the roots of Tibetan Buddhist culture and modern-day Bon religion--a practice followed by an estimated ten percent of Tibetans.Table of Contents:Translators Foreword; A Technical Note about the Translation; I.

Tibetan Yoga of Movement introduces the method of Yantra Yoga, a traditional Tibetan form that is one of the oldest recorded systems of yoga in the world. Derived from an eighth-century Tibetan Buddhist text, Yantra Yoga includes many positions similar to those of Hatha Yoga in form, but different in the dynamics of the way in which they are practiced, especially in the coordination of movement and breathing. The Yantra Yoga system encompasses 108 sets of movements (yantras) and several types of breathing to be learned at your own pace. Due to its emphasis on uniting breathing and movement, Yantra Yoga can deepen the experience of yoga practitioners from any tradition and profoundly benefit anyone seeking authentic balance, harmony, and the understanding of our true nature. Since the eighth century, this yoga teaching has been passed down from teacher to student in an unbroken lineage. Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, the current lineage holder, began transmitting Yantra Yoga in the West in the 1970s. Presenting detailed instructions accompanied by over 400 instructional photos, the book describes the sequences of movements, methods of breathing, and the concrete health benefits of the practice.

Rainbow Body: The Life and Realization of a Tibetan Yogin, Togden Ugyen Tendzin, presents the remarkable life story of Togden Ugyen Tendzin (18881962), a Tibetan yogin who in death achieved the rainbow body, the release of the physical body in the essence of the five elements and one of the highest spiritual attainments of Dzogchen, recognized as the supreme level of Tibetan Buddhism. His nephew, Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, one of the greatest living masters of Dzogchen, composed the book from his own recollections of his uncle as well as direct quotes from talks with the great yogin himself and his disciple Sala Karma Samten. The book traces the yogins childhood struggles, the circumstances that led him to his teacher, the eminent Adzom Drugpa, and his difficult path to self-realization. Finally, Chogyal Namkhai Norbu relates the story of Ugyen Tendzins death during imprisonment by the Chinese, when witnesses discovered that though his sheepskin robe still sat upright, his body was gonea testament to its having dissolved into the rainbow body.

Yoga Tibetano del Movimiento es una introducción completa al Yantra Yoga, una de las tradiciones de yoga más antiguas del mundo. Padmasambhava la introdujo en el Tibet en el siglo VIII y fue luego transmitida por un linaje de maestros hasta su actual sostenedor: el maestro de Dzogchen Chogyal Namkhai Norbu. El Yantra Yoga incluye muchas posiciones similares en la forma a las del Hatha Yoga pero diferentes en el modo en que son practicadas, especialmente en la coordinacion de los movimientos y la respiracion. En este libro, Chogyal Namkhai Norbu y Fabio Andrico presentan tres grupos preliminares de movimientos y las veinticinco secuencias de movimientos (yantras) basicas, con instrucciones detalladas y acompañadas de fotos ilustrativas. Tambien se muestran ejercicios simples de precalentamiento, instrucciones sobre la respiracion ritmica y sugerencias sobre rutinas de practica, seguidas por un listado de beneficios para la salud y principios basicos de la medicina tibetana.
