Sacred Voices of the Nyingma Masters by Sandra Scales |
SACRED VOICES OF THE NYINGMA MASTERS, by Sandra Scales, gathers the portraits of twenty-two exalted lamas of the Nyingma lineage, as well as teachings that they gave specifically for the readers of this book.
SACRED VOICES is the result of the author’s twenty-five-year study of Tibetan Buddhism and personal connection with these great teachers. By offering an intimate glimpse of the environments in which the teachings took place, her brief introductory essays take the reader on a wide-ranging and delightful journey—from the Himalayas, to South America and to Europe. The time devoted to photographing these lamas and compiling their teachings has culminated in a unique volume: a statement of beauty that evokes and preserves the illumined personal presence of these great masters for the benefit of current and future generations. |

Change of Heart: The Bodhisattva Peace Training of Chagdud Tulku by Chagdud Tulku edited by Lama Shenpen Drolma |

Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, in my opinion, was a true bodhisattva who worked tirelessly to eliminate suffering in many different parts of the world. I rejoice that his teachings have been compiled into this book, and it is my aspiration that every single word of his will be put into practice." |
