A manual for human development
as heard by Ceclie Kwiat

While no major revisions to Rinpoche's discourses have taken place in this second edition, some editing and modifications have been made, the yoga exercises were revised to provide greater safety, the index was revised, a Pali alphabet and pronunciation guide was added and a new cover was designed.

"All messages from one point to another throughout the universe are included within the category of communication or speech. And the whole universe is constantly sending messages. There is no place where the word is not. From the very no-beginning the universe is filled with message or word. When there is communication from one form to another, there is the basis for consciousness - but not necessarily human consciousness! Applied consciousness is not limited to the individual manifestation."

490 pages

A second printing of this book, first published in 1983, features an invaluable bridge between Western mystical writings based on the Teachings of Christ and Eastern texts based on the Teaching of the Buddha.

Rinpoche's discourses illumine the universal truths that are essential to the journey of "the mystic life which is the crown of human life and the heritage of all beings."

THE WOMB, KARMA AND TRANSCENDENCE
A Journey towards Liberation

Edited by K. Chime Wongmo

Discourses on awakening given by Namgyal Rinpoche during three workshop/meditation retreats. While the focus is on liberation, the discourses particularly address patterns formed in the womb and how these underlie our approach and response to all aspects of our lives, including our physical and mental health, our sexuality, and our views and beliefs on everything from philosophy to food.
Rinpoche gives many exercises and meditations for contacting our womb experience and clearing it, so that it becomes what it was meant to be: the basis for well-being, natural growth and exploration.

Of special interest is the meditation for those who have given birth or who have had an abortion which clears both parent and child.

Also included are teachings on the 16 Buddha-Body Practice, the four types of mothers, karma ("activity"), other factors that shape us, past lives, and most importantly, transcendence - going beyond all concepts of who and what we are so that we may be and know what is.

A BODY OF TRUTH
Empowering through Creative Imagination

Edited by Rab Wilkie, Leslie Hamson and K.Chime Wongmo

A rich collection of over ninety creative, meditative exercises presented in universal terms relevant to all beings. The exercises utitlize both eastern and western forms of unfoldment and include a new approach to kasina and mandala work, sacred geometry, colour, space and archetypal explorations, balancing the cerebral hemishperes, healing, and many other themes of integration.

Some of the exercises involve working with clay, drawing or painting - although artistic ability is not required to do them or to reap benefit from them.

While developing awareness of inner and outer aspects of being, the exercises effortlessly evoke well-being and insight. Enjoyable as well as engrossing, an invaluable resource for all ages.
