Tibetan Buddhism

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.

About 1,000 years ago, the great Indian pandit and yogi, Dipamkara Shrijnana (Atisha), was invited to Tibet to reestablish the Buddhadharma which had been suppressed and corrupted for almost two centuries. One of Atisha's main accomplishments in Tibet was his writing of the seminal text A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, in which he extracted the essence of all 84,000 teachings of the Buddha and organized them into a clear, steplike arrangement that makes it easy for any individual practitioner to understand and practice the Dharma. This genre of teachings is known as lam-rim, or steps of the path, and forms an essential part of every school of Tibetan Buddhism.

Von der Wiedergeburt der Seele. Der Dokumentarfilmer und Bestsellerautor Clemens Kuby hat vielfältige Belege gesammelt, die das Konzept der Reinkarnation begreiflich machen. Im Zentrum steht die Geschichte des tibetischen Lama Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, der 1993 tödlich verunglückte und 1995 wiedergeboren wurde.
