The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali is a classic Sanskrit treatise consisting of 195 “threads,” or aphorisms, describing the process of liberation through yoga. Although little is known about Patanjali (most scholars estimate that he lived in India circa 200–300 B.C.), his writings have long been recognized as a vital contribution to the philosophy and practice of yoga. This new, expert translation of the original Sanskrit text of Patanjali’s best-known work presents his seminal ideas and methods in accessible, plain-language English. Patanjali organized the sutra into four parts: Samadhi (absorption), Sadhana (practice), Vibhuti (supernatural powers), and Kaivalya (liberation). Each represents a step in breaking free of our limited definition of consciousness and training the mind to achieve oneness with the universe. Geshe Michael Roach, one of the most respected teachers of Tibetan Buddhism in America and a renowned scholar of Sanskrit, provides authoritative commentary on each of the sutras. His notes and clarification are straightforward and highly readable, untainted by obscure, academic terminology or New Age jargon. The first edition of the Yoga Sutra to present a Buddhist perspective, this paperback original will be welcomed by students and spiritual seekers alike.

Meditation helps us relax, sharpens our minds, and increases our creativity. In The Tibetan Book of Meditation, Lama Christie McNally demonstrates that meditation also provides a much greater gift. It awakens our innate potential to shape our reality, to make moments of joy last forever, and to bring us the peace and contentment that we all ultimately seek. Written in an instructional yet intimate style, the author guides readers through a progression of meditations, from the simple concept of compassion to the transformative concept of emptiness. Teaching technique and content at the same time, this book is unique in its comprehensive approach and will find a special place in the hearts of novice and experienced meditators alike. Christie McNally, a renowned master teacher and lecturer who has studied with some of the greatest Indian, Tibetan, and western Buddhist masters, explains the central tenets of Buddhism and reveals how they apply to everyday life. Combining ancient wisdom and contemporary teachings, she leads readers along the path to a richer, fuller life through resonant examples and eye-opening insights. Her engaging tone and fresh approach to the art of meditation will appeal to followers of Pema Chödrön and to readers of Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. This down-to-earth guide to meditation brings the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism to a new generation.

March 10, 1959. Artillery
shells smash into the
Potala Palace in Lhasa,
Tibet, home of His Holiness,
the 14th Dalai Lama.
Fleeing Tibet for their lives, the family of His Holiness took what they could carry,
including a set of 15 scroll paintings called the Tsongkapa Eighty. As an art form,
the scrolls are magnificent. As the retelling of the life’s work of Je Tsongkapa, the
scroll paintings are irreplaceable. After reaching safety, the paintings were donated
to a Kalmyk Buddhist Temple in New Jersey. Based on these paintings, the authors
have researched and written an amazing work; it is the story told through the
scrolls, and the history of how the paintings developed over the centuries.
The book includes:
• All 200 scenes from the original 15 paintings with captions, creating an account
of Je Tsongkapa’s life, in text and paintings, nearly 1,000 color images!
• A history of the Kalmyk Temple and how the paintings arrived there
• A photographic journey that retraces Je Tsongkapa’s steps across Tibet
• A definitive list of Je Tsongkapa’s writings, and the biographies of his life
• Maps, produced with the help of the map maker for the Lord of the Rings books,
which trace Je Tsongkapa’s constant travels to teach and to learn. • Contemporary painter Ori Carin’s, modern interpretations of several scenes.
• A detailed review of Je Tsongkapa’s many roles: monk, philosopher, writer,
meditator, yoga practitioner, poet, spiritual partner and diplomat, all depicted
in the paintings.
