The Six Yogas of Naropa: A Practical Commentary on the Yogas of Inner Fire, Illusory Body, Dream, Clear Light, Intermediate State, and Consciousness T
by Jonas Over
The Six Yogas of Naropa are celebrated as a system that can lead to full enlightenment within one lifetime, and countless Indian and Tibetan masters have accomplished enlightenment through these practices. Most of the historical commentaries are quite skeletal, and often were regarded as outlines for Lamas who give these teachings, rather than as commentaries for practitioners engaging in this training. This book is different. While still following the original and authentic teachings of this practice lineage, it gives more detailed explanations and guidance than earlier commentaries on the subject, which previously could only be received through oral instructions. Alongside an in-depth commentary on the Six Yogas of Naropa, it covers the preliminary practices, and features extensive practice manuals.

The Myth of Freedom and the Way of Meditation
by Chögyam Trungpa
Freedom is generally thought of as the ability to achieve goals and satisfy desires. But what are the sources of these goals and desires? If they arise from ignorance, habitual patterns, and negative emotions, is the freedom to pursue these goals true freedom--or is it just a myth? In this book, Chögyam Trungpa explores the meaning of freedom in the profound context of Tibetan Buddhism. He shows how our attitudes, preconceptions, and even our spiritual practices can become chains that bind us to repetitive patterns of frustration and despair. He also explains how meditation can bring into focus the causes of frustration, and how these negative forces can aid us in advancing toward true freedom. Trungpa's unique ability to express the essence of Buddhist teachings in the language and imagery of contemporary American culture makes this book one of the best sources of the Buddhist doctrine ever written. This edition also contains a foreword by Pema Chödrön, a close student of Chögyam Trungpa and the best-selling author of When Things Fall Apart.
