"I am happy to know that the essential points of these teachings are here being made available…by Serje Geshe Acharya Thubten Loden." – His Holiness the Dalai Lama The Fundamental Potential for Enlightenment analyses the potential for enlightenment from the perspectives of the two main schools of Mahayana thought—the Mind-Only school and the Middle Way school. Fundamental Potential is drawn from Maitreya’s Sublime Continuum of the Mahayana, the Ornament for the Mahayana Sutras and the Ornament for Clear Realisation. It clearly establishes the existence of the potential within each living being, thus the validity of the goal of Enlightenment and the means to attain it. Fundamental Potential contains the inspiring message that the basic nature of beings is clear, radiant, wise and compassionate and prods us to awaken to this reality. 310 pages, 4 colour photos, 11 line illustrations Price: US $34 Aust. $49 |

Naropa by Geshe Acharya Thubten Loden

They are the legacy of the great Pandit Naropa, and presented here as taught by the glorious second Conqueror, Jetsün Tsong Khapa.
