Book Descriptions
Essence of Buddhism
 Published in a number of languages including English, Portuguese, French and Dutch Essense of Buddhism, is a comprehensive overview of the Buddhist path from the perspective of the three vehicles of Tibetan Buddhism - the Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. While these vehicles are usually presented as a historical development, they are equated here with the attitudes that individuals bring to their Buddhist practice. Basic to them all, however, is the need to understand our own immediate condition. The primary tool for achieving this is meditation, and The Essence of Buddhism serves as a handbook for the various meditative approaches of Buddhist practice.
Luminous Bliss: self realisation thorugh meditation
 In his latest book, Traleg Rinpoche discusses the Mahamudra meditation method of self-liberation by systematically taking us through the methods of shamatha (tranquility) and vipassana (insight) meditation. He explains how to work with discursive thoughts and conficting emotions with shamatha meditation and gain insight into these with vipassana meditation. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the Mahamudra view of the nature of mind. The Benevolent Mind
 There are many different kinds of instructions, practices and philosophies in Buddhism. These are condensed in spiritual instructions representing the essence of the Buddha's teachings. But practices such as Lojong are the quintessence - the essence of the essence - of the Buddha's teachings. The most popular and widely used source text explaining Lojong, or mind training is The Seven Points of Mind Training. Originally transmitted in the Kadampa tradition this text has now long been assimilated by all the Tibetan Buddhist schools. The heart and focus of Lojong practice is the cultivation of bodhichitta or enlightened heart, the realization of our Buddha essence through the cultivation of a compassionate mind. Presented here is a clear and practical means to understand and implement these techniques in a line-by-line commentary by one of the most respected contemporary Kagyu masters, Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche.Nyima Tashi: The Songs, Instructions, and Recollections of the Peerless Holy Guru
(The story of the first Traleg Rinpoche) By Lama Yeshe Gyamtso.  Foreword by the Ninth Kyabgon Traleg Rinpoche: Gampopa, the peerless physician from Dakpo, who was repeatedly predicted and praised by the Buddha, caused the teachings of the lineage of accomplishment to become widespread in the Himalayan land of Tibet. All his disciples gave rise to the sudden realisation of Mahamudra. Among them were five hundred great meditators, of whom the greatest and most famous were the three Khampas. One of these three was the Khampa Saltong Shogom, who achieved the greatest mastery of the channels and winds through the practice of chandali. His rebirth was Nyima Tashi the Birth-Recollector, who devoted his life to silent practice in sealed retreat. He saw the faces of yidams, realized Mahamudra,and thereafter recounted his previous births and prophesied his future ones. He sang vajra songs that are still warm with his blessing.This brief account of his recollections, prophecies of future births, and songs has now been translated into English and published. It is certain that disciples who study it will plant the seed of liberation in their continuums. I therefore rejoice in and am grateful for its publication.
