KHENPO TSULTRIM GYAMTSO RINPOCHE

	PROGRESSIVE STAGES OF MEDITATION ON EMPTINESS by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, trans. & arranged by Shenpen Hookham Rinpoche presents the main schools of Buddhist philosophy with their progressively more subtle and refined views of reality. He provides the student the means to realize emptiness through a series of meditation practices--each stage in the process prepares the mind for the next more subtle step.
	BUDDHA NATURE: The Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra with Commentary by Arya Maitreya, comm. by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, add'l. explanations by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, trans. by Rosemarie Fuchs "The most exciting Buddhist publication of the season is actually one of Snow Lion's more esoteric offerings, Rosemary Fuch's translation of commentaries on the Uttaratantra Shastra by Jamgon Kongtrul and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso. The exciting thing about this translation is that it has succeeded where five previous efforts failed: it finally makes it possible for non-Tibetan speakers to study in traditional contemplative fashion one of Buddhism's principal philosophical works. In previous editions, the words were translated, but not in a form we could actually practice. Now thanks to Rosemarie Fuchs and the other learned students of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso, an important mahayana meditation practice is ours to use on the cushion in order to directly realize the teachings on the essence and source of buddhahood."--Robin Kornman, Shambhala Sun
	THE TWO TRUTHS by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, fore. by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche The way to understand the Buddha's teachings is to see that they are divided into either the three yanas, or the four philosophical tenets. For those who wish to know the view or the philosophy of Buddhism then the best way to learn it is to know the differences between the views of the four philosophical tenets. When the Buddha made these presentations of the different philosophical views, the point was to allow people to investigate with their own intelligence the various teachings and in that way to become very skilled in the different philosophical views and to be able to learn how to analyze things for oneself. Therefore what Khenpo Tsultrim presents here is the path of reason, the presentation of the two truths by the different philosophical tenets which leads one from a common understanding of what is real to ever more subtle understandings which can eventually lead to that which is beyond the intellect.
	BEAUTIFUL SONG OF MARPA THE TRANSLATOR by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche Khenpo gives a lucid explanation of the clear light nature of mind and how to meditate on it, how to develop compassion, and the practice of tonglen.
