Shambhala Publications03/17/2014Pages: 528Size: 6 x 9ISBN: 9781611801057DetailsThis comprehensive guide to the body of Buddhist teachings known as the mahayana brings together theory and practice in a way that reveals contemplative experience to be inseparable from the traditional concepts used to describe it. Based on teachings from the Vajradhatu Seminaries—the three-month-long meditation-and-study retreats that Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche led annually from 1973 to 1986—it covers in detail topics such as shunyata (emptiness), bodhichitta (the heart and mind of enlightenment), the bodhisattva ideal, and more. The Bodhisattva Path of Wisdom and Compassion, along with its two companion volumes, presents a complete map of the Tibetan Buddhist path from beginning to middle to end, from a teacher who had an extraordinary ability to convey the buddhadharma to the hearts and minds of his students.RelatedCheck items to add to the cart orWe found other products you might like!Author BioChögyam Trungpa (1940–1987)—meditation master, teacher, and artist—founded Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, the first Buddhist-inspired university in North America; the Shambhala Training program; and an international association of meditation centers known as Shambhala International.

These volumes display the far-reaching goodness that can be created in the world when compassion and devotion come together." —H.H. the Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje
"The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma is truly a precious resource for all Buddhist practitioners and for those willing to explore and learn the complete teachings of the Buddha. This is Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s banquet for lovers of the spiritual path in this twenty-first century-and a great gift to the development of Western Buddhism." —Buddhadharma
"The compassionate heart of my teacher, the Vidyadhara, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, shines through in this, his articulation of the entire Buddhist path. He never lost sight of the fact that every aspect of the teaching is about nothing else than the freedom of awakening—and his great gift is that he never lets any of us lose sight of that either." —Pema Chödrön
"One of the most remarkable and brilliant teachers of modern times." —Jack Kornfield
