We may sense that mind plays a critical role in our experience of life, but do we know what mind is, how it functions, and what changes might be possible? This illuminating new commentary on Revelations of Mind opens up diverse perspectives for exploring this crucial aspect of our well-being.

High in the rarefied air of the Himalayas stands the great Lamasery of Potala. Here, as a young boy, T. Lobsang Rampa came to study the teachings of the Lord Buddha. Through the eyes of this young acolyte, we learn of the life of Prince Gautama and his discovery of the Middle Way, the Four Noble Truths, and the state of Nirvana. Those who have heard of Lobsang Rampa's experiences in the lamaseries of Tibet will be greatly moved by this personal story of the transition of a daring, sometimes disobedient, youth into a serious, deep-thinking young man possessing quite exceptional sensory abilities.

The remarkable true story of the miraculous journey that made the Dalai Lama into the man he is today and sparked the fight for Tibetan freedom. In the early weeks of 1959, a bloody uprising gripped the streets of the Tibetan capital of Lhasa as ragtag Tibetan rebels faced off against their Communist Chinese occupiers. Realizing that the impending battle would result in a bloodbath and his own capture, the young Dalai Lama began planning an audacious escape to India, a two-week journey.

Auf ihrer Hochzeitsreise 1968 nach Nepal begegneten Hannah und Ole Nydahl als einige der ersten Westler dem Diamantweg-Buddhismus. Schon 1969 wurden sie hier Schüler des ersten bewusst wiedergeborenen Lama Gyalwa Karmapa, dem "König der Yogis". Die Kraft der Kagyü oder "mündlich übertragenen" Meditationsschule des tibetischen Buddhismus sollte ihr Leben grundlegend verändern. Auf abenteuerlichen Reisen und in wachsender Zusammenarbeit mit den wichtigsten Meditationsmeistern lernten sie die Welt des Diamantweg-Buddhismus kennen und wurden selbst Träger seiner Mittel.

Most of the letters T. Lobsang Rampa receives are full of questions about all aspects of metaphysics - pendulums, dowsing, how to levitate, teleport, and "remote view", etc. In Candlelight, Dr. Rampa answers all of these questions and more, replying to queries about God, good versus evil, acupuncture, the media, and how to manage one's everyday affairs.

As Dr. T. Lobsang Rampa lay desperately ill in a Canadian hospital, he looked up with pleasure to see his old friend and mentor, the Lama Mingyar Dondup, standing by his bedside. But it was with some dismay that he listened to the message that golden Lama had brought: Lobsang Rampa's work on this earthly plane was not completed. He had to write another book, his eleventh, for there was still more truth to be revealed to the world.

The chief astrologer of Tibet had been summoned to proclaim the horoscope of six-year-old Lobsang, son of Lord and Lady Rampa. It was the "Hardest life he had ever encountered", the old man said. The boy was going to learn all the medical arts of Tibet and then journey to China to study medicine in the Western style. He would know immense suffering and dreadful hardship, travel in many countries, and be unjustly imprisoned. But above all, the boy's lonely destiny would be to carry out a great task of utmost importance to all humanity - and evil forces would work against him.

Entering the Mind, by C von Hassett, is a deeply insightful exploration of a timeless wisdom practice known as Dzogchen—a meditation practice which points the practitioner directly to their own innate, naturally occurring mind, or what is otherwise known as “mind in its natural state.” This is the very mind the Buddha spoke of as being already awakened, already enlightened, and this mind is easily accessible and readily observable within each of us.
