BLISS OF INNER FIRE: Heart Practice Of The Six Yogas Of Naropa
by Yeshe, Thubten
ISBN: 086171136X
Publisher: Transition Vendor
In the classic bestseller, Introduction to Tantra,
Lama Yeshe offered a profound yet wonderfully
clear glimpse into the authentic and sophisticated
practices of Tibetan Buddhist tantra. This
present book, the last major teachings of this great
lama, opens up the world of advanced practices
for Highest Yoga Tantra initiates in much the
same way his earlier work opened up the world
of tantra in general.
Following Je Tsongkhapa`s (1357-1419 A.D.) text
Having the Three Convictions, Lama Yeshe
introduces the renowned Six Yogas of Naropa,
focusing mainly on the first of these six, the practice of inner fire
(tummo). Mastery of inner fire quickly brings the mind to its most
refined and penetrating state -- the experience of clear light, an
extraordinarily powerful state of mind that is unequaled in its ability to
directly realize ultimate reality.
Lama Yeshe felt that twentieth-century Westerners could easily grasp
the often misunderstood ideas of this esoteric tradition: `We really
need tantra these days because there is a tremendous explosion of
delusion and distraction...and we need the atomic energy of inner
fire to blast us out of our delusion.`
Lama Yeshe`s aim was for his students to actually taste the experience
of inner fire rather than merely gain an intellectual understanding.
Lama`s own realization of the transformative power of these practices
comes through, inspiring his students to discover for themselves their
own capacity for inexhaustible bliss.
LAMA YESHE (1935-1984), A RENOWNED TIBETAN BUDDHIST MASTER,
ESTABLISHED THE FOUNDATION FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE
MAHAYANA TRADITION (FPMT), AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION
OF MORE THAN 1OO BUDDHIST CENTERS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES.
