Description
A new & highly readable introduction to Tibetan Buddhism, PRAJNAPARAMITA: THE SIX PERFECTIONS is edited for the western reader from the teachings of two of the most distinguished meditation masters of this profound & vast discipline, The Venerable Khenpo Palden Sherab Rinpoche & The Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche. This book has proven to be very popular with the beginner & advanced student of meditation practice in the training & taming of mind. Prajnaparamita is a fundamental Buddhist Meditation practice. Meditation means maintaining the mind in its natural state. When we are not in meditation, we can practice the Paramitas (perfections). There are five "in the world" perfections: Generosity, Self-Discipline, Tolerance, Joyful Effort, & Concentration. The sixth Paramita is a meditation perfection known as Transcendent Primordial Wisdom. These teachings are clearly translated; a meditation tool itself. Additional commentary by the editor. An invaluable addition to the wealth of Buddhist literature. Psychology, Cognitive Science, Human Developmental Skills. Sky Dancer Press.
