WORD BOOKS.

 

This book clarifying wisdom thousands of years of Tibetan Buddhism, is conveyed by the words simple, easy to understand for everyone. My main aim is to present the teachings not only a cure for the suffering and our ignorance about death and dying but also help us achieve peace witness supreme, not only for this life but also for the dead and the other realms too. Buddha taught us how to prepare themselves for death, mystery and take advantage of the state of death to practice. He has written many books on this subject. Tibetan Buddhism has the most detailed teachings on death and after death, the book "Death Letter Tibet" (Bardo Thodrol) is one of only book of its kind. The truth is that all Buddhist teachings are about how to develop awareness and condition of life, death and resurrection in the afterlife. Thus, the source of my material for this book includes many different documents as well as the direct teachings of my guru and my personal experience while dealing with the death of the masters, the best friends of the distance l and

Teachings of Tibetan wisdom
teachings of Tibetan Buddhism's reincarnation journey divided us into four stages:
1 / worldly life Stage
2 / dying phase
three / phase glimpse the true nature and light clarity
4 / relatives or the intermediate phase transition between death and rebirth at

First four chapters will present a summary of these four stages. To illustrate the experience of death and the Bardo realms, I cite many of the documents " delog ", ie those with permeability of spirituality to a certain extent have returned from the dead and tell him what they went through, very similar near-death experiences (near death) in the books of the West today. Because of this long story about Bardo realms, so I devote a chapter (Chapter 5, the story of the Intermediate realm) for the words told of the fearsome realms or the realms of bliss on the other side of death.

At the end of the Intermediate stage we will be reborn in any realm, why and how? Chapter 6, "Regeneration" will answer these questions and provide a map helps us to avoid rebirth in lower realms and know how to pick fresh realms to be reborn as the Blissful Realm or heaven.

Pure Land is the seat of the original Buddha which is the expression of wisdom and compassion. The Buddhist ritual of Tibetan for the dead and the dying, often include the legal contemplation of the Buddha and of his seat, which is the source of happiness and spiritual strength.

In this book teaches us to focus on the original Buddha and the universal, which is the Buddha Amitabha, ie Infinite Light Buddha. The prayer and reciting Amitabha Buddha will help regenerate dead in his Dewachen. Chapter 7 talks about the Buddha of Boundless Light and the Land of Great Bliss, presented a lively source of this happiness, based on descriptions in the books.

People who live a very important role to help the dying and the dead go to the other realms. Chapter 8 "to help the dying and the dead", this guide for loved ones, friends and others who need help, whether they are Buddhists or non-Buddhist. Go deeper into the transmission Tibetan Buddhist system, chapter

9 "Rites for the dying and the dead", describes the traditional rituals that bestow lamas for the dying and the dead in the public domain in A. Mr. West Tibet, where I grew up and practice in schools: Nyingma Tibetan Buddhism. Chapter 10 "conclusions", as well as the final chapter of the book review.

A number of private thoughts

We can say this book is my little pet, because the teachings that I have presented here is very valuable. For some this book may seem like a work of literary traditions of Tibet, which are often filled with terminology and philosophical assumptions. For others, this book is lacking on the discovery that the Western scholars considered indispensable. But my purpose here is not responding to this objection, which is making nature books with this information as accessible as possible for all readers, whether Buddhists or outside of Buddhism, while still preserving the essence of the original teachings.

I was thinking about writing this book for a reason, twenty years ago, when I came to the United States, many Western friends who are trying to get my undergraduate degree, looking for work and find a partner , but now some of these people are dealing with illness and death seemed approaching, and so am I.. The reason for privacy is part of my motivation to write this book.

As m peppers Buddhist, I was taught to learn and practice to develop the quality of life and death of himself and of others. Two of my previous book: "the healing power of mind" and "Boundless healing" primarily about the treatment of bad things in life. Life is precious and important, and we must take care of it, but because death is the gateway to countless future lives, we also need to pay attention to it. So this book is designed to guide us to face death with confidence and achieve joyful rebirth, as well as help others achieve this. This is also a kind of treatment.

I spent my childhood in the great monastery Dodrupchen domain of A. his Tibetan Buddhist school under the guidance of Khenpo Kyala and other wise teacher. They have guided me in school and religious sects that long tradition of the N g who practice every day. While living his life fully, the N tuck is always prepared for death, realizing that this life is fleeting, that death is certain and what happens after death is very important for the future. The He also always happy to help others develop life and prepare for their deaths.

Dodrupchen Monastery where the authors practice

As one of the deserted residential locations in the world, our monastery is located in a deep valley between the majestic mountains. With the mind of a child, I thought that his monastery is eternal bliss. I believe that no power can touch the spiritual existence of this monastery. But I was wrong, because political power greed has changed the lives of our quiet.

The tradition of religious life at the monastery we suddenly ended, and we are forced to flee, under the guidance of Kyabje Rinpoche Dodrupchen, one of the supreme teacher of the Monastery and as a location particular natural property, grave our t few escaped to India as refugees after crossing the land of Tibet, a journey of nearly two thousand kilometers.

When the suffering of the mind and body due to the conflict and political violence, military or society, people often find fault with or blaming someone else. This makes n Guo was happy and i feel is justified, but Buddhism teaches that all life is suffering the consequences of immoral actions that we have created in the past, so if you only find fault with others, will not make things better. This is not to blame his behavior, anger hate myself instead of finding out the truth, which is responsible for his life to steer his life in the right direction in the journey of our rebirth.

In India, like many other refugees, I was helping the people of India a kind and share whatever they have. This entertainment is a great gesture for us to remember until today, after over forty years. The religious freedom has a special meaning to comfort those who suffer in the soul.

After years of effort, I was able to adjust to accommodate the diverse cultures and values ​​of the new world. Minds of young people as well as their physical wounds, ease recovery if they wish. So I'm still healthy without any long-term damage. I am very grateful and appreciate having lived in India for twenty years as a refugee and then as a university professor. Later than twenty-four years in the United States has helped me research and write about Buddhist teachings with modern amenities. All small and big opportunities in the free world not only enrich my daily life but also more profound spiritual journey of mine.

But the temptations of the modern world is too much and too strong to fight hard. Day went by quick as lightning, before I could realize what was happening or took the opportunity of achieving it. Many golden opportunity of this precious life has to go through, never seen again. But each stage of life is an important challenge, and each clause h is a source of precious engraved true happiness. I also was able to retain many precious fruits of their labor and their dedication to the future, merely because it is a kind help from the teacher and my friends.

In this book, I noted the profound wisdom teachings that I had been taught in Tibet as well as what I have learned through painful events they have experienced. But if there is no life in the world outside Tibet, with an abundance of material and knowledge as well as the diversity of life that attempts against the temptation, then this book has never formed . I hope this book will become the guiding light the mysterious journey to my realm as well as many other guides if they accept.
