All religions teach codes of ethical behavior. So too does Buddhism. This books is a translation of an indispensable exposition of the three sets of vows that are central to Tibetan Buddhist codes of discipline--the pratimoksa vows of individual liberation; the vows of the bodhisattva, who selflessly strives for the liberation of all beings; the vows of the esoteric path of tantra. Here, the late Dudjom Rinpoche provides his authoritative commentary on the role of ethics and morality in Buddhist practice, outlining in detail the meaning and scope of the vows, and giving practical advice on maintaining the vows as supportive tools in the journey toward enlightenment.

Written by a great modern Nyingma master, Dudjom Rinpoche's The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism covers in detail and depth both the fundamental teachings and the history of Tibetan Buddhism's oldest school. This, the first English translation of His Holiness' masterwork, constitutes the most complete work of its type in the West. An absolute treasure for students of the tradition, it is also an indispensable reference for anyone with an interest in Buddhism. The book includes chronologies and glossaries that elucidate Buddhist doctrine, and it provides fascinating insights into the Buddhist history of Tibet. Two treatises form the present volume, namely the Fundamentals of the Nyingma School and the History of the Nyingma School. Among the most widely read of all His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche's works, these treatises were composed during the years immediately following his arrival in India as a refugee. His intention in writing them was to preserve the precise structure of the Nyingma philosophical view within its own historical and cultural context. This is the first time this text has been available in a trade edition. Beautifully presented, this single-volume edition represents a truly wonderful gift, and features illustrations in black and white and in color, plus maps, bibliographic information, and useful annotations.

The Preliminary Practice of the New Treasure of Dudjom

Yeshe Melong

This medicine Buddha practice was revealed by Guru Padmasambhava directly into the mind of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche who was a recognized and prophesized terton. Because of the aspiration of Guru Padmasambhava cojoining with the aspiration of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, this practice is extremely concise and potent, able to radiate multitudes of blessings and realizations for those who practice it for the benefit of all sentient beings.

Shambhala

In his endless kindness to Vajrayana practitioners, KyabjŽ DŸdÕjom Rinpoche quotes from the gTŽrmas of Chšgyal Ratna Lingpa, Sang-gyŽ Lingpa, RigÕdzin GoÕdem, DŸdÕdŸl Dorje, gTŽrtšn Longsel, Thugchog Dorje, DroÕdŸl Lingpa, and Ma-g‚ig Labdršn, in order to explain the non-ordinary visionary history which illuminates the deleterious nature of tobacco. Warnings concerning tobacco have been revealed as gTŽrmas since the first spread of Buddhism in Tibet, and therefore authentic Nyingma practitioners cannot have association with tobacco. D ŸdÕjom RinpocheÕs treatise deals with demonic intentionality as discussed in the gTŽrmas of the great gTŽrtšns, and is thus mainly influential with those Vajrayana practitioners who have confidence in Padmasambhava and the gTŽrma tradition. It should, however, be of interest to other Buddhists Ð and to people in general Ð that such warnings have existed for so long and that they are so vehement.
