| Title: Actuality of Being |
| Sub-title: Dzogchen and Tantric Perspectives |
| By (author): Traleg Kyabgon |
| ISBN10-13: 0648332179 : 9780648332176 |
| In this book Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche elaborates on key aspects of the view, meditation and action of Dzogchen practice and outlines the way in which confusion arises; the notions of self-existing wisdom, primordial purity and non-conceptuality; the four levels of mind; the three ways of resting the mind; the three aspects of energy; authentication of body, speech and mind; and the actualization of the ground; and presents profound practice methods to deepen ones understanding and experience. Compiled from a series of retreats led by Rinpoche, Actuality of Being: Dzogchen and Tantric Perspectives discusses Dzogchen (also known as Maha Ati and the Great Perfection) in relation to the nine yana system. The nine yana system is a set of nine successive steps used as a guide for spiritual growth within the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Dzogchen, while generally presented within the nine yana system is in fact seen as independent of any system, school of thought or philosophy. Recognised as a complete path within itself, Dzogchen emphasizes the notion of sudden or instantaneous enlightenment, or self-liberation. In Dzogchen practice the beginning and the end are not seen as separate. The very starting point is the end itself. There is no difference between the alpha and omega, in the sense that when you realize Dzogchen, you have not realized anything different from what you already possess. Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche. |

"Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche is a great master of our time particularly for the western audience. He has lived much of his life for the benefit of his western students and his deeds and compassion are themselves proof of his great mastery of Dzogpa Chenpo and Mahamudra. This book is a great inspiration and deeply illuminating for those seriously pursuing this path. In studying this text may we all appreciate, enjoy, and remember his presence with us." -- Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche

| Title: Buddhist & Freudian Psychology |
| By (author): Padmasiri de Silva |
| ISBN10-13: 0980502217 : 9780980502213 |
| This book presents comparative perspectives on the nature of mind, motivation, conflict, anxiety and suffering, as well as the therapeutic management of these problems, in both the writings of Sigmund Freud and the discourses of the Buddha. The nature of the instinct of sexuality, ego instinct and the death instinct in Freud are compared to parallel concepts in Buddhism. This fourth edition has been revised and updated and looks at the emerging dialogue between Buddhism and psychotherapy. It includes new chapters on the nature of the unconscious, the therapeutic basis of early Buddhist psychology, and the Freudian search for the ideal therapeutic model. |

| Title: Buddhist Existentialism |
| Sub-title: From Anxiety to Authenticity to Freedom |
| By (author): Robert Miller. |
| ISBN10-13: 0980502209 : 9780980502206 |
| This book provides an outline of the Buddhist shunyata principle (the inherent emptiness of all phenomena), and presents a Western philosophical base by which to logically support its integration into the western mind-set. Buddhist and Western philosophy is surprisingly compatible. Buddhist Existentialism outlines the influence of Existentialists, such as Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, and introduces us to the ideas of the Madhyamaka school of Buddhist thought. |

| Title: Desire |
| Sub-title: Why It Matters |
| By (author): Traleg Kyabgon Edited by: Felicity Lodro |
| ISBN10-13: 0648129314 : 9780648129318 |
| In this book Traleg Kyabgon discusses the notion of desire from Buddhist and other perspectives. He reviews commonly held beliefs of desire that are often misguided and can be diametrically opposed. On the one hand there is the belief that desire is an important human experience that is natural, which leads to happiness and pleasure. Then there is the juxtaposition that desire is a type of demon whose expression leads to diminishment and destruction. There has been a long standing belief in some Eastern and Western religious and philosophical traditions that all forms of desire are bad and that our ultimate goal is a state of complete desirelessness. The assumption of these traditions being, if we dont desire anything we will not have any concerns. If we dont have any concerns we will be completely content, and completely happy. That is not the view of Buddhism, particularly in relation to the distinction between the ultimate goal of attaining enlightenment and the relative, more immediate aim of wanting to improve and elevate oneself. There is a litany of human foibles, misdemeanors, and misconduct that comes from unmediated desire. When the desire is not controlled or managed effectively it can manifest as very destructive eruption. Nevertheless we should not then conclude that we have to extinguish desire altogether. To overcome destructive or demeaning desires requires one to harness a stronger desire to motivate oneself towards a more positive direction and goal. This requires insight and skill to overcome highly habitualized tendencies that can lead to a type of entrapment, to then produce a positively motivated approach that allows one to desire freely producing enriched meaning, outcomes and experiences. Traleg Kyabgon explores the Buddhist notion of desire within its positive and negative forms, seeking to explode some myths and clarify some misunderstandings. The book is also designed to inspire the passion of the readers to seek a fulfilling life without needing to demonise ones experience of desire. |

“Fundamentally this book “Desire: Why It Matters” asks the reader to embrace being human. Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche explains the importance of desire, emotion, and intelligence as integral elements of an enriched spiritual journey. Through working on and reading this book, I was assured that within my efforts to lead a spiritual and ethical life, that it is OK to be human”. -- Traleg Khandro

| Title: How To Do Life |
| Sub-title: A Buddhist Perspective |
| By (author): Traleg Kyabgon |
| ISBN10-13: 0648686345 : 9780648686347 |
| If emotions simply happened to us and we have no choice in the matter, we could not speak about creating good or bad karma. If there is no choice, then how can we support the idea of change, transformation, or progress? From a Buddhist perspective, we are responsible for our actions or experiences, including how we manage our emotions. One cannot be made responsible for something when one has no choice in the matter. Our range of emotional experiences, as well as being fuelled by past experiences, the content and quality of our thoughts, and our ethics and beliefs, are also related to outcomes that we wish to achieve. Emotions are more-often-than-not used in a strategic manner. We use our emotions to elicit certain responses and gain certain results from others. They are used to gain specific results within our interactions. Rather than being seen as something that happens to us, emotions are seen as something that we create and invariably use in a strategic manner, even if somewhat unconsciously. -- Traleg Kyabgon |

"During Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche’s life, he taught extensively, not only providing translation and commentary of Tibetan Buddhist texts, but also direct and spontaneous teachings that were very practical, and gave down-to-earth advice on how to do life better. Rinpoche gave advice on how we can review and manage our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world in such a way that can enhance our experience of life generally, and how we can more heroically face the many challenges life presents. How To Do Life is a collection of teachings given by the Traleg Rinpoche on topics such as love and relationships, understanding emotions, and working with depression and destructive emotions. Rinpoche provides a fresh approach to reviewing our experience, and explains the Buddhist perspective on building awareness and reducing suffering. It provides insights that can help us all Do Life better." -- Ringu Tulku

"When we have the idea of Integral Buddhism, what we are saying is that we can have an approach to Buddhism that includes all kinds of perspectives that would allow us to look into our lives in many different ways: to look at our life from a psychological point of view, a philosophical point of view, an ethical point of view, even from a scientific point of view, and in terms of physical health and well-being." -- Traleg Kyabgon

| Title: King Doha |
| Sub-title: Saraha's Advice to a King |
| By (author): Traleg Kyabgon |
| ISBN10-13: 0648114864 : 9780648114864 |
| Whilst on the one hand, it is said that Mahamudra is a very advanced form of meditation, on the other, if one were already advanced one would not need any instructions. Mahamudra manuals often tend to explain everything step by step as if the reader does not know anything. Obviously then, they are meant for people like us. In the King Doha, Saraha gives a step by step account of the pitfalls a meditation practitioner can fall into and how to avoid them. With a background of practising extensively in the tantric tradition, he gives his reasons for considering the Mahamudra approach an appropriate path. Based on a commentary by Karma Trinleypa, Traleg Rinpoche gives a straightforward and clear explanation of Saraha's message to us as practitioners of Mahamudra. |

| Title: Letter to a Friend |
| Sub-title: Nagajuna's Classic Text |
| By (author): Traleg Kyabgon |
| ISBN10-13: 0648114821 : 9780648114826 |
| When Buddhists say 'things arise due to causes and conditions,' they mean things come into being from a whole assembly of interrelated factors and events. We cannot trace a linear history or causal chain of events to their arising; they just come into being when the appropriate causes and conditions congregate at an appropriate time and place. When the causes and conditions that perpetuate or sustain the existence of that particular entity cease to present themselves, that particular entity will then disintegrate. Letter To A Friend explores coordinating body, speech and mind i such a way that produces positive karma and good outcomes. The Buddhist approach to moral or ethical values is not moralistic. Our moral and ethical values are part of a moral psychology, and part of our spiritual aspirations and orientation; they are not just about conduct. |

| Title: Longchenpa's Three Cycles of Natural Freedom |
| Sub-title: Oral translation and commentary |
| By (author): Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche IX |
| ISBN10-13: 0645665320 : 9780645665321 |
| Longchenpa's Three Cycles of Natural Freedom: Oral translation and commentary is a seminal Dzogchen text that is divided into three cycles: Mind, Ultimate Reality and Equality. The ninth Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche (1959-2012) of the Kagyu Nyingma tradition, one of the great meditation master and scholars to come out of the Tibetan diaspora, has provided a detailed oral commentary and spontaneous translation of Longchenpa's text to help reveal the essential meaning of these profound teachings. A glimpse at each cycle - in the Mind Cycle, Longchenpa is in part concerned with our ability to comprehend and experience the freedom within the authentic state; in the Ultimate Reality Cycle, all dualistic notions are challenged as the nature of self and phenomena are revealed as the same; in the Equality Cycle, our aboriginal state is described as that which transcends conditioned existence. Within each cycle, Lonchenpa also gives concise guidelines on approaching one's practice within a retreat situation. Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche's renowned fluency with the English language, coupled with his own profound levels of realization, makes this translation an exciting opportunity for these transformative teachings to not only be known, but also experienced in these modern times. |

"The Three Cycles of Natural Freedom by the Omniscient
Longchenpa, with a translation and commentary by Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche, is
most wonderful to welcome into our lives. Without doubt Longchenpa is one of
the greatest enlightened masters born among the Snow Mountains of Tibet. His
Three Cycles have the potential to bring us directly to the state of
enlightenment, especially with this commentary by Traleg Rinpoche, who himself
is a great knowledge-holder of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. I, therefore, personally
feel this volume will greatly enhance the understanding of Dharma in the West,
particularly of the nature of mind as presented in the great Dzogpa Chenpo
tradition. I wish to thank Traleg Khandro for her tireless efforts to make
Rinpoche's teachings available, so we may enlighten ourselves." -- Dzigar
Kongtrul Rinpoche

| Title: Moonbeams of Mahamudra |
| Sub-title: The Classic Meditation Manual |
| By (author): Traleg Kyabgon |
| ISBN10-13: 0980502233 : 9780980502237 |
| The Mahamudra path of direct perception is the pre-eminent method of the Dakpo Kagyu tradition. This definitive manual systematically explains its approach to meditation, complete with definitions, pointing-out instructions, and advice for the many pitfalls and errors that beset practitioners. Central to these errors is our failure to acknowledge the difference between understanding and experience, and our tendency to fixate on meditative experiences and mistake them for realisation. This translation conveys the freshness and immediacy of these instructions. Belonging to the generation of teachers to first bring Tibetan Buddhism across cultures, Traleg Kyabgon (1955-2012) presents these Mahamudra instructions in a direct, relaxed, and intimate style. His own sense of certainty and his confidence that Westerners are unspoilt enough to benefit from these direct teachings resonates on every page. Traleg Kyabgon's mastery of the English language and his insight into Western culture make for a very approachable translation of this magnum opus of the Kagyu tradition. |
