Synopsis

In December, 2009, at the well-known Buddhist pilgrimage location of Bodh Gaya, India, Shamar Rinpoche gave a teaching on the Noble King of Prayers of Excellent Conduct, also known as the Samantabhadra Wishing Prayer. This book is based on this teaching. In the past, Buddha Shakyamuni gave the teaching of the Samantabhadra Wishing Prayer to urge practitioners to treat the great Bodhisattva Samantabhadra as a role model to emulate so that all their wishes may be accomplished. The Tibetan text, as well as an English-language version of the prayer itself, translated by Pamela Gayle White under the guidance of Shamar Rinpoche, is included in the book. As the author states, " Once we accept that ' our world' is merely a mental experience, notions of big and small do not apply anymore, and our mind can hold any number of these manifestations. It is this capacity of our mind to extend itself beyond any limit that we have to use for our practice."

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

SHAMAR RINPOCHE, Mipham Chökyi Lodrö (1952-2014), was the 14th Shamarpa. Born in Derge, Tibet, Shamar Rinpoche was recognized by the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa in 1957 and by the 14th Dalai Lama. Shamar Rinpoche was an accomplished Buddhist master and teacher, respected and cherished the world over. In 1996, he began organizing Bodhi Path Buddhist Centers, a network of centers covering many continents, in which a non-sectarian approach to meditation is practiced. In addition, over the years, Shamar Rinpoche founded several non-profit organizations worldwide engaged in charitable activities, including projects to provide schooling for children born into poverty, and an organization committed to promoting animal rights.

Julia Stenzel joined the Bodhi Path Centers in 2006, after having learned the Dharma from Lama Gendun Rinpoche at the Dhagpo Kundrol Ling retreat centers in France. She produced the first transcript of the teachings on the King of Prayers, after having received Shamar Rinpoche's instructions in Bodhgaya in 2009. She currently lives in Boudhanath where she teaches at Kathmandu University's department of Buddhist studies at Rangjung Yeshe Institute.

Thea Howard was a student of Shamar Rinpoche for many years, and developed extensive experience working on Dharma transcripts.

Lara Braitstein is a Professor of Tibetan and Indian Buddhism at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
