Lion of Speech- The Life of Mipham Rinpoche offers a translation of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's biography of Mipham Rinpoche, left behind in Tibet when Khyentse Rinpoche went into exile in 1959 and lost for eighty years before its discovery by an extraordinary stroke of good fortune. The biography is written as a traditional namthar, an account of the "life and liberation" of a man who is widely considered to be among the greatest scholars and accomplished masters in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. One of the striking features of Khyentse Rinpoche's account is that it downplays the "miraculous" aspects of Mipham's life and activities--perhaps as a means of bringing into sharper focus the effect that Mipham had on his contemporaries as a spiritual master, scholar, and teacher.

The second half of the book offers selected translations of Mipham Rinpoche's works that provide readers with a taste of his enormous and extremely varied output. The translations are from his works on Madhyamaka, buddha-nature, tantra, and the Great Perfection. Some are new translations and some are key passages from works that have already been published, including selections from Lion's Roar on the Buddha-Nature, Guide to the Wheel of Analytical Meditation, The Adornment of the Middle Way, The Wisdom Chapter, and White Lotus.

Zurchungpa's Eighty Chapters of Personal Advice was the final teaching given by the great Nyingma master Zurchung Sherab Trakpa before he passed away. His counsels are the distillation of a lifetime's experience and comprise the practical instructions of a master who had made the teachings of the Great Perfection truly part of himself. The original text consists of almost 580 maxims, organized into eighty chapters covering the entire path of Dzogchen, from fundamental teachings on devotion and renunciation, through to a whole series of pith instructions that bring the Dzogchen view to life. Much of the meaning of these pithy, often cryptic, instructions could be lost on the reader without the help of the notes Shechen Gyaltsap Rinpoche provided in his annotated edition, which he based on the explanations he received from his own teacher, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo.

This book contains a complete detailed teaching on Zurchungpa's text by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, based on Shechen Gyaltsap's notes. Originally intended as essential instructions for a group of practitioners in three-year retreat, it will undoubtedly serve as an indispensable guide to anyone who seriously wishes to practice the Great Perfection.

Zurchung Sherab Trakpa (1014-1074) was a key teacher in the Zur tradition, one of the handful of kama lineages through which the teachings of the Ancient Tradition were transmitted from master to disciple, beginning with Guru Padmasambhava and Vimalamitra, right down to the Nyingma masters of the present day. He was a learned scholar and accomplished meditation master who spent many years in retreat, practicing the teachings of the Great Perfection.

Shechen Gyaltsap Rinpoche (1871-1926) was an important disciple of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo the Great and one of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's root teachers. An accomplished meditator, he was also one of the most respected scholars of his day, whose writings fill thirteen volumes.

Highly respected by thousands of students throughout the world, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was one of the foremost poets, scholars, philosophers, and meditation masters of our time. Here he speaks frankly, drawing on his own life experience. Condensing the compassionate path to Buddhahood into practical instructions that use the circumstances of everyday life, Rinpoche presents the Seven-Point Mind Training—the very core of the entire Tibetan Buddhist practice.

This is a solid foundation on which one can build a practice and a life. The root text is six or seven hundred years old from Tibet, and highly revered. There are many commentaries available. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was a truly great teacher, and his commentary just brings out the power of the teaching here. There is nothing clever or compromising here. It is the straight Dharma, expressed straight.

Anyone who has been studying Tibetan Buddhism for even a moderate time will have a good idea what this book contains, just knowing the root text and the commentator. The book does not disappoint. One can read this book again and again. It brings one face to face with the truth.

If you are new to Dharma, this is a fine book to read. It is not esoteric or abstract or elaborate. But it doesn't pull any punches, either! If you are ready for the real thing, this is it!

The root text by Patrul Rinpoche is one of my favorite poems in any language while simultaneously presenting to me an extremely concise overview of the entire path of Buddhism and Dzogchen.

In approximately 1100, the Indian sage Paramabuddha (also known as Kamalashila) travelled to Tibet and delivered teachings to the "People of Tingri", a town in southern Tibet. In Tibet he was known as Padampa Sangye, and was a contemporary of Jetsun Milarepa. He was believed to be the reincarnation of the 8th Century Indian master Kamalashila, author of "Stages of Meditation in the Middle Way", a key Lamrim text.

His "Hundred Verses of Advice" to the people of Tingri combines elements of both Lojong ("Mind Training") and Lamrin ("Stages of the Path") teachings. Traleg Kyabgon makes frequent reference to this work in his "The Practice of Lojong: Cultivating Compassion through Training the Mind".

Dilgo Khyentse offered an extensive teaching on the text in 1987 in Nepal, from which this commentary originated.

Khyentse Rinpoche's advice to us provides an update to the advice offered to the people of Tingri a millenium ago. These are very specific guidelines to dharma practice and dharma life, and remain as relevent to current students of Buddhism as they were to Tibetans in 1100.

Lojong teachings by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche in July and August 1990, during a month-long retreat in Dordogne, France.

"Once, in one of his previous lifetimes, the Buddha was a universal monarch whose custom it was to give away his wealth without regret. He refused nothing to those who came to beg from him and his fame spread far and wide. One day, a wicked Brahmin beggar came before the king and addressed him saying, 'Great king, I am ugly to look upon, while you are very handsome; please give me your head.' And the king agreed. Now his queens and ministers had been afraid that he might do this, and making hundreds of heads out of gold, silver and precious stones, they offered them to the beggar.
"'Take these heads,' they pleaded, 'do not ask the king for his.'
"'Heads made of jewels are of no use to me,' the beggar replied, 'I want a human head.' And he refused to take them.
"Eventually they could no longer deter him from seeing the king.
"The king said to him, 'I have sons and daughters, queens and a kingdom, but no attachment do I have for any of them. I will give you my head at the foot of the tsambaka tree in the garden. If I can give you my head today, I shall have completed the Bodhisattva [a totally compassionate and wise being] act of giving my head for the thousandth time.'
"And so, at the foot of the tree, the king took off his clothes, tied his hair to a branch and cut off his head. At that moment, darkness covered the earth and from the sky came the sound of the gods weeping and lamenting, so loudly that even human beings could hear them. The queens, princes and ministers, all fell speechless to the ground. Then Indra, the lord of the gods, appeared and said, 'O king, you are a Bodhisattva and have even given away your head, but here I have the life-restoring ambrosia of the gods. Let me anoint you with it and bring you back to life.'
"Now the king was indeed a Bodhisattva and, even though his head had been cut off and sent away, his mind was still present and he replied that he had no need of Indra's life-restoring ambrosia, for he could replace his head simply by the force of his own prayers.
"Indra begged him to do so and the king said: 'If in all those thousand acts of giving my head away beneath the tsambaka tree there was nothing but the aim of benefiting others, unstained by any trace of self seeking - if I was without resentment or regret, then may my head be once again restored. But if regrets there were, or evil thoughts, or intentions not purely for the sake of others, then may my head remain cut off.' No sooner had the king said this than there appeared on his shoulders a new head identical to the first, which had been taken by the Brahmin. Then all the queens, princes and minister rejoiced and administered the kingdom in accordance with the Dharma." pp. 30-31
