Produktbeschreibung
Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo gives an inspiring and down-to-earth interpretation of the key aspects of devotion and the proper way of viewing an authentic spiritual guide. Through the lens of the Tibetan Buddhist practice - the Seven Limb Puja - Jetsunma brings to light the essential aspects of Guru Yoga for the Western mind. The seven limbs of this particular practice refer to paying homage to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, making offerings, confession, rejoicing in the good fortune of others, requesting teachings, beseeching the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Lamas to remain in the world, and dedicating. Jetsunma begins the commentary by reviewing how we offer non-virtue rather than virtue. For instance, offering hatred, greed, ignorance, jealousy, pride and turning away from the Guru, our source of blessings. Jetsunma's teachings are authentic to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and as a Westerner herself, she is able to present them in a way that is accessible and understandable to the Western mind. Throughout the book the translated text of the Seven Limb Puja is juxtaposed with Jetsunma's commentary on how to apply the practice. The complete text in Tibetan with the English translation and transliteration is displayed at the end of the book along with a glossary.

Autorenporträt
From an early age, Jetsunma Ahkön Norbu Lhamo has devoted herself to meditation and the alleviation of suffering in the world. With confirmation from two highly revered Tibetan Buddhist masters, His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Dzongnang Rinpoche, His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, 11th throneholder of the Palyul Lineage in the Nyingma tradition, recognized Jetsunma as a reincarntion of the 17th century yogini Genyenma Ahkön Lhamo. The first Ahkön Lhamo was the sister of Rigdzin Kunzang Sherab, the founder and first Throneholder of Palyul. Subsequently, His Holiness Kusum Lingpa recognized Jetsunma as an emanation of Princess Lhacham Mandarava, the Indian consort of Padmasambhava (also known as Guru Rinpoche, or Precious Teacher), the Indian scholar who established Buddhism in Tibet. Jetsunma is the first Western woman to have been officially recognized and enthroned as a Tulku, an enlightened being who reincarnates in whatever form necessary to benefit sentient beings. With innate compassion and wisdom, and drawing on her experiences as a Western woman, Jetsunma makes even the most profound Buddhist teachings accessible. Her teachings, often infused with humor, reach a broad audience, including long-time Buddhist practitioners as well as people simply wanting to live with kindness and generosity. Jetsunma encourages each of us to create a world of compassion, by contemplating the suffering of others, and taking action to bring about change. Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo gives an inspiring and down-to-earth interpretation of the key aspects of devotion and the proper way of viewing an authentic spiritual guide. Through the lens of the Tibetan Buddhist practice-the Seven Limb Puja-Jetsunma brings to light the essential aspects of Guru Yoga for the Western mind.
