ZitatAlles anzeigenLiebe Dharmafreunde, werte Interessenten & Rundbrief-Abonnenten,
es freut mich euch ein wahres Juwel ankündigen zu können, eine Übersetzung von Pema Tinley's ausführlichen Erläuterungen zur Fünf Nägel Praxis, Rigzin Godem’s Jangter Ngöndro Zer Nga. S.H. Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche hat daraus gelehrt und Khenpo Chowang hat diesen Text übersetzt und mit weiteren Erläuterungen aus den Veranstaltungen versehen. Martin Boord hat dieses Buch dann sorgfältig editiert, ergänzt und fehlende Teile übersetzt. Neben den Fünf Nägeln gibt es Unterweisungen zur generellen tantrischen Praxis bis hin zur Sichtweise und Praxis des Dzogchen. Damit ist dieses Buch ein Wegweiser zur kompletten tantrischen Praxis, das nicht nur für Jangter (Byang gTer) Praktizierende interessant sein dürfte.

This book does not only contain a detailed practical explanation of the Five Nails, but also an introduction to meditation practice through the yogas of waking, sleeping, bathing, eating and daily practice as well as the preliminary practice of body, speech and mind. It explains in detail how to do the Five Nails practice, which is the Northern Treasure entry into the path of secret mantra, and gives explanation of its deeper meaning. The book also explains the extraordinary preliminaries, which consists on focussing the mind on one’s body as the deity, focussing the mind on one’s speech as mantra and focussing on the mind itself as the deity’s insignia. In the end of the book the main practice will be explained as achieving the view through meditation and achieving meditation through the view and finally various modes of empowerment for the direct introduction and oral instructions for those who have received the direct introduction. This book is a wish-fulfilling gem for any serious practitioner and a reliable companion an this path to give meaning to one's live.
Vom Buchrücken:
Born in a period of political uncertainty and religious efflorescence, the late seventeenth-century master of the Northern Treasures (Byang-gter) tradition, the mahāvidyādhara Pema Tinley (Padma ’phrin-las) is widely renowned for his perceptive insight, his boundless concern for the welfare of others and his scholarly excellence. The Great Fifth Dalai Lama himself repeatedly refers to Pema Tinley in his autobiographical writings, calling him “the best of reincarnations” and “spiritual son of supreme virtue.”
In this masterful guide to the full spectrum of vajrayāna practice, Pema Tinley leads the reader along an exciting path of self re-discovery towards the all-encompassing state of deep natural awareness – the completely perfect condition of buddhahood, endowed with wisdom, compassion and abundant joyful energy. Moving from a simple series of daily contemplative practices that gradually bring the errantly wandering mind under control and train it to focus upon the true meaning of life, the author skilfully encourages his audience eventually to abandon all meditation on “objects with signs” until it can rest easily without supporting props in the vast expanse of blissful awareness in which all appearances are recognised as the spontaneous display of non-dual emptiness.
All Buddhists have something to learn from this book, a complete guide to the innermost path of secret mantra, written by one of its foremost authorities.
