Download or read book A Lamp to Illuminate the Five Stages written by Je Tsongkhapa and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tsongkhapa's A Lamp to Illuminate the Five Stages (1419) is a comprehensive presentation of the highest yoga class of Buddhist tantra, especially the key practices - the so-called five stages (pancakrama) - of the advanced phase of Guhyasamaja tantra. Beginning with a thorough examination of the Indian sources, Tsongkhapa draws particularly from the writings of Nagarjuna, Aryadeva, Candrakirti, and Naropa to develop a definitive understanding of the Vajrayana completion stage. Whereas in the generation stage, meditators visualize the Buddha in the form of the deity residing in a mandala palace, in the completion stage discussed in the present volume, meditators transcend ordinary consciousness and actualize the state of a buddha themselves. Among other things, Tsongkhapa's work covers the subtle human physiology of channels and winds along with the process of dying, the bardo, and rebirth. This definitive statement on Guhyasamaja tantra profoundly affected the course of Buddhist practice in Tibet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From our first breath to our last, we spend our entire lives in a perpetual cycle of inhalations and exhalations. Yet few of us are taught how to breathe, why we breathe, or the ways in which the breath influences us emotionally, energetically, physically, and spiritually. The Illuminated Breath is a revolutionary manual on unlocking the power of the breath.

He walks readers through pranayama, the ancient yogic practice of breath control, and explains the four components of the breath cycle. He then introduces pranayama practices, which can be used on their own or combined into sequences to achieve specific goals. The final part of this book leads readers through a series of targeted breath sequences that are designed to boost athletic performance and recovery, improve sleep, enhance cognitive function, relieve anxiety, promote deep relaxation, and more. Each sequence is customizable and can be modified or used in combination with other sequences to create a personalized breath plan. Embark on a life-changing journey as you learn how to breathe optimally and bring balance to your life, one inhalation and exhalation at a time.

Book excerpt: Tantra is a powerful buzzword. But like most buzzwords, it has been misrepresented and bathed in sensationalism, and its original intention and power were forgotten. This book intends to change that. This is the Tantric Resurrection. Despite often being mistakenly seen as "spiritual sex," Tantra is actually a vehicle for transformation, transcendence, and integration-and it should be presented as such, without distortion, secret information, hidden practices, or superfluous teachings. This work is not about the westernized, sexualized, modern branch of Tantra, nor about the scholarly, intellectual, more complex branch typically found in large, dense books, often written by translators or pundits. Tantra Exposed presents a revolutionary way of approaching and using Tantra to overcome suffering, transcend your current limits, and experience the ecstatic bliss and wholeness inherent in your true nature; it guides you toward complete fulfillment. The wisdom infused in this accessible, deep, and fascinating book offers you powerful and effective tools that are much more than just instructions-they guide you to awaken and embody your highest potential; they uproot, purify, and transform your beliefs, blockages, and negative conditioning into freedom. What you will find in the book: The demystification and discovery of the real meaning and purpose of Tantra. Paradigm-breaking insights regarding Tantric Initiation, Shaktipat, and the external and internal Guru. The truth about the Left-Hand Path and the "sexualization" of Tantra. The profound relationship between Kundalini, Tantra, and Enlightenment. Straightforward transformative guidance, transcendental Tantric Sadhana, and remarkable integrative wisdom found nowhere else. Comprehensive instructions on how to dissolve the residual "smoke-like" feeling of having a body even after you've already extinguished the illusory "mayic fire." The complete unveiling of the Non-dual dimension of Tantra and how to fully embody it through Spiritual Immanence. And much more. There comes a moment in your life when your desire for completeness expands past conventional seeking; when you feel a calling to explore beyond the known and visible. If you are reading this book, then chances are that such a yearning has already been awakened. If so, then this is your book. Let's unfold Tantra together. From the author of the best-seller Kriya Yoga Exposed and Kundalini Exposed.
