THE TIBETAN YOGAS OF DREAM AND SLEEP
by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
"If we cannot carry our practice into sleep," Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche writes, "if we lose ourselves every night, what chance do we have to be aware when death comes? Look to your experience in dreams to know how you will fare in death. Look to your experience of sleep to discover whether or not you are truly awake."
This book gives detailed instructions for dream yoga, including foundational practices done during the day. In the Tibetan tradition, the ability to dream lucidly is not an end in itself, rather it provides an additional context in which one can engage in advanced and effective practices to achieve liberation.
Dream yoga is followed by sleep yoga, also known as the yoga of clear light. It is a more advanced practice, similar to the most secret Tibetan practices. The goal is to remain aware during deep sleep when the gross conceptual mind and the operation of the senses cease. Most Westerners do not even consider this depth of awareness a possibility, yet it is well known in Tibetan Buddhism and Bon spiritual traditions.
The result of these practices is greater happiness and freedom in both our waking and dreaming states. The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep imparts powerful methods for progressing along the path to liberation.

CHANTING THE NAMES OF MANJUSHRI
by Alex Wayman
This is the first translation of one of the most revered and often-used tantric texts in Tibetan Buddhism-the Manjushri-nama-samgiti. While consisting only of 160 verses and some mantra sentences, the work condenses an enormous tantric lore, so much that it garnered exalted mention in the Vimalprabha-the great commentary on the Kalachakra-and is cited a number of times in the celebrated tantrist Naropa's Hevajratantra commentary.
Chanting the names of Manjushri sets the English translation of this text alongside the complete original Sanskrit, with its Tibetan translation.

THE ORIGINS OF OM MANI PADME HUM: A Study of the Karandavyuha Sutra
by Alexander Studholme
Om Mani Padme Hum, perhaps the most well-known and most widely used of all Buddhist mantras, lies at the heart of the Tibetan system. This book presents a new interpretation of the meaning of this mantra, and includes a detailed, annotated study of the Karandavyuha Sutra. The earliest textual source for this mantra is the Karandavyuha Sutra, which describes both the compassion of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva whose power the mantra invokes, and the mythical tale of the search and discovery of the mantra.

CHENREZIG, LORD OF LOVE: Principles and Methods of Deity Meditation
by Bokar Rinpoche
The Tibetan Buddhist practices of meditation are part of the spiritual wealth of humanity and deity meditation forms the heart of this treasure. For over a millennium Tibetan lamas have used meditation on deities as a means to master the inner world.
Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit), the deity that represents the loving and compassionate potential of the mind, is the most popular deity of Tibet. In this volume a great living teacher, Bokar Rinpoche, gives detailed instructions for this practice. He specifically addresses the concerns of Western practitioners in offering these unique teachings.
Chenrezig is within us because love and compassion are not qualities added to the mind. These qualities are part of the awakened state even if for the moment this state exists only as a potential for us.
