Meditação, transformação e ioga dos sonhos

by Gyatrul Rinpoche

Este título basilar para os praticantes do Centro de Estudos Budistas Bodisatva (CEBB) apresenta uma seleção de três textos tradicionais Nyingma – Transformando Felicidade e Adversidade em Caminho Espiritual, de Jigme Tenpe Nyima; Liberando-se da Delusão Essencial, de Lochen Dharma Shri e Iluminação da Sabedoria Primordial, de S.S. Dudjom Rinpoche.

Cada um desses textos-raiz ilumina um aspecto distinto de nossas vidas – prática formal, período pós-meditativo/vida cotidiana e sonhos/sono – que, somados aos comentários dinâmicos e práticos do Venerável Gyatrul Rinpoche, configuram-se como um roteiro precioso e completo para o aspirante a um caminho espiritual nos desafiadores dias de hoje.

O título foi traduzido do tibetano para o inglês por Sangye Khandro e B. Alan Wallace, e agora chega aos brasileiros pela tradução, do inglês para o português, de Lama Padma Samten, Jeanne Pilli, Henrique Lemes e Marcelo Nicolodi.

About the author

Venerable Dhomang Gyatrul Rinpoche was a senior lama of the Palyul and Dudjom lineages of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. He was recognized at a young age by Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö as the incarnation of Sampa Künkyap, and is also held to be the incarnation of Kunzang Sherab, the first throne-holder of the Palyul lineage.

After training at Palyul Domang Monastery, he fled the Chinese Cultural Revolution in Tibet in 1959, serving as an elected representative of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism who had congregated in Buxa, India. In 1972, he was appointed by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche as the spiritual director and representative of the Yeshe Nyingpo centers on the west coast of the United States and of Tashi Choling Center for Buddhist Studies in southern Oregon, where he remains as of 2012.

Reviews

[Joe Larabell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good summary of three key areas of Vajrayana practice. The root texts are from three different authors, followed by detailed commentary on each from Gyatrul Rinpoche. My (somewhat biased) favorite was the advice on meditation written by Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdrel Yeshe Dorje. This would be a good starting point for anyone taking up Vajrayana for the first time, since the content and commentary are very clearly presented without a lot of jargon.
