<p>The 'Treasury of Dharma' illustrates that the teachings of Buddha are indeed a rare and most precious treasure which , if one is able to see its value and is skilfull in using it, not only fulfills one's temporary needs, but accomplishes the result of lasting happiness. If ignorance, egoism, greed, hatred, pride, jealousy and so on forcefully dominate one's mental continuum, endless problems and sufferings for oneself and others will result instead of peace and happiness. On the contrary, if satisfaction, contentment, altruism, patience, love, compassion, wisdom and so forth are strong and stable in one's mind, even negative conditions are transformed into supportive factors. Since the faults in the mind , no matter how great they may seem, are not in the nature of the mind itself, they can be totally eradicated, and no matter how weak the positive qualities may seem, they can be developed infinitely. The accurate methods to achieve both are the essence of the teaching of the Enlightened One, and the content of this book.</p>

Buddhism

Edition Rabten

The auto-biography of Geshe Rabten, as told to some of his early students, contains not only the intensely vivid recollections of Geshe Rabten about his early life, but beautiful color photos of him and many other great Tibetan masters.  Along with the photos, line drawings by reknowned artis Eva van Dam help to give the reader the impression of getting to know what Geshe was really like. Of all of the many Tibetan Buddhist masters who have come to the west, Geshe Rabten is one of two or three who have had a fundamental impact.  His teaching style was unique, and was able to tailor his teaching to suit a wide variety of students.

The Life of a Tibetan Monk

Rabten, Geshe

<p>The Venerable Geshe Rabten, one of the outstanding Tibetan Buddhist Masters of our time and pioneer of Tibetan Buddhism in the West, was born in eastern Tibet in 1920. After having accomplished his Geshe Lharampa degree, he served His Holiness the Dalai Lama as philosophical assistant in India, until His Holiness asked him to teach Buddhism to western disciples in Indian and in Europe. Thus Geshe came to Switzerland in 1974, where he lives until his passing away in 1986. In this book, Geshe provides us with a penetrating wisdom with the precise and skillful analysis of the mind and its functions. Like a mirror, it reflects very clearly our mental mark-up with all its faults and qualities. It opens up an understanding of the hidden secrets of the mind. The application of such an understanding leads to a valid inner transformation and thereby to a clear knowledge of the purpose of one's life.</p>
