This selection of poetry come from the classic work on the lives of the masters of the lam rim lineage: Biographies of the Lamas of the Teachings on the Steps of the Path to Enlightenment, written by Yongdzin Yeshe Gyeltsen, Tsechok Ling, Tutor to His Holiness the Eighth Dalai Lama. They were written throughout Lobsang Chukyi Gyeltsen long life from the age of 14, and convey the inner progress of the First Panchen Lama in developing the steps of the path to enlightenment. It also illustrates how he conducted his life and practice in the external world. In that sense, these poems are a real example for us to follow, and this selection was chosen to relate to particular lam rims, or steps of the path, that we ourselves are working on.

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.

This is a relationship book unlike any one you’ve ever seen. An American monk who spent 25 years in Tibetan monasteries shares ancient secrets on how to find a partner, keep them, and achieve lasting happiness together. The book consists of answers to 100 questions asked by audiences all over the world during decades of his teachings on the Karma of Love. What’s the karma to get my husband to hug me? To get my wife interested in sex again? Can I use karma to stop my girlfriend from texting other guys? Is it possible for physical intimacy to be spiritual? How can we use our relationship to help the world? The answers to the 100 questions are drawn from the teachings of The Diamond Cutter, which is the oldest dated printed book in the world. Michael Roach, the first American in history to receive the coveted Tibetan title of Geshe, or Master of Buddhism, applies the world-changing ideas of his international bestselling personal success book—also called The Diamond Cutter—to every aspect of our relationship: trust, communication, addictions, fun, in-laws, sex, peace, self-esteem, and many others.

The Diamond Cutter Sutra is one of the most famous Buddhist books of all time; it was taught by the Buddha 25 centuries ago, and then spread throughout India, China, Tibet, Japan, and many other countries. The Chinese edition seen here is the oldest printed book in the world with a date inside.The sutra focuses on the concept of emptiness, which is a key to success and happiness in the modern world, if we get a good explanation of how to apply it at work and at home. Emptiness has been widely misunderstood though, throughout history--and there are very few clear explanations of the Diamond Cutter. Perhaps the best ever written is Sunlight on the Path to Freedom, by Choney Lama Drakpa Shedrup, a Tibetan sage who lived 1675-1748.Our first complete woodblock manuscript for this masterpiece was discovered in the Oriental Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences by staff of the Asian Classics Input Project. The translation has been completed by Elizabeth van der Pas and Geshe Michael Roach, who is an honors graduate of Princeton University and the first westerner in the 600-year history of Sera Mey Tibetan Monastery to be awarded the title of Geshe, or "Master of Buddhism."This is the first translation of this crucial explanation ever undertaken into English; it includes a wonderful summary on the idea of emptiness, and how this can be used in real life. The work was the basis for Geshe Michael's modern business bestseller, The Diamond Cutter: The Buddha on Managing Your Business & Your Life.

No matter what country we live in, or what religion we believe in, or what work we do, the ancient wisdom of the Buddha can lead us to greater success, and higher happiness. Door to the Diamond Way was written by Tsongkapa (1357-1419), the famous teacher of the first Dalai Lama. In 1402 he climbed atop a mountain called the Lion Crag, far above an ancient Tibetan monastery. Here he fell into a deep vision where he sat among the greatest teachers of two thousand years, immersed directly in the nectar of their wisdom. When he finally came out of his vision, Tsongkapa wrote a song to his teachers called The Source of All My Good. These verses are themselves an exquisite guide to inner and outer personal success. By tradition, they are used to prepare a disciple for the quest to make direct contact with angelic beings--a journey which is itself called "The Diamond Way." The work has been translated by Geshe Lobsang Tharchin, one of the greatest lamas of modern times, along with Geshe Michael Roach, author of The Diamond Cutter.
