	Treasures of The Sakya Lineage by Migmar Tseten Here is one of the first in-depth looks into the Sakya lineage of Tibetan Buddhism available in English. With a foreword by the head of the lineage, H. H. Sakya Trizin, and a rich collection of teachings by key figures, this book provides students of Tibetan Buddhism with an overview of the philosophy, major lineage figures, and crucial teachings of this school. This volume contains essays from the key teachers of the Sakya school, both contemporary and historical, including H. H. Sakya Trizin, Khenpo Appey, Sakya Pandita, Peter Della Santina, Jetsun Dragpa Gyaltsen, Chogye Trinchen, Choegyal Phagpa, and Migmar Tseten.
	Cultivating The Mind Of Love by Thich Nhat Hanh First of all, the book gives some accounts on the private life of TNH: how he became a monk, and how he fell in love with a nun some forty, fifty years ago when they were young. I really admire the way he told his own story, and how he coped with that love feelings and emotions. Most importantly, how one can deeply look within oneself to transcend that love into a noble goal which one still continues to pursuit.
	Zen Enlightenment by Heinrich Dumoulin Enlightenment, the cosmic experience of universal unity, is a notoriously elusive concept in Zen. Here, the renowned scholar Heinrich Dumoulin traces the development of Zen and the concept of enlightenment from its origins in India through its development in China to its fruition in Japan. Delineating the Buddhist origins, as well as the Taoist and yogic influences, he traces the historical path Zen has followed, with special emphasis given to the development of koan practice and the writings of the great Japanese Zen master Dogen (1200–1253). He then brings the experience to life by presenting, in his own words, the enlightenment experiences of a number of contemporary practitioners of Zen.
	The Hundred Verses of Advice by Dilgo Khyentse/Padampa Sangye This commentary on Padampa Sangye's classic verses of advise to Tibetan villagers of Tingri—by renowned and beloved meditation master Dilgo Khyentse—offers guidance for people trying to lead a dharmic life in the workaday world. Dilgo Khyentse's lively explication of each stanza brings to light subtleties and amplifies the richness of the words and their pertinence to our lives. These two venerable teachers advise us in relating to everyday difficulties such as loneliness, craving, family squabbles, competition in business, disagreements with neighbors, and betrayal by friends—as challenging to us as they have been to meditators for centuries.
	Words of My Perfect Teacher, Revised Edition (Sacred Literature Series) By Patrul Rinpoche Publisher: Shambhala This book is the classic commentary on the preliminary practices of the Longchen Nyingtig-one of the best-known cycles of teachings and a spiritual treasure of the Nyingmapa school-the oldest Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Patrul Rinpoche makes the technicalities of his subject accessible through a wealth of stories, quotations, and references to everyday life. His style of mixing broad colloquialisms, stringent irony, and poetry has all the life and atmosphere of an oral teaching. Great care has been taken by the translators to render the precise meaning of the text in English while still reflecting the vigor and insight of the original Tibetan.
