To Dispel the Miseryof the WorldWhispered Teachingsof the BodhisattvasGa RabjampaForeword by Khenpo AppeyTranslated by Rigpa Translations

This first publication from RigpaTranslations, a project of SogyalRinpoche, author of The Tibetan

Book of Living and Dying, contains awealth of advice for those wanting tobecome more fully human. When we aredisconnected from others we flounder,but when we recognize the profoundinterdependence of all beings, we flour-ish and grow. In just a few pages of one-line instructions, the famous Seven-PointMind Training provides direct and powerful advice for breaking throughthe chronic barriers that separate us. Ga Rabjampa, an influential masterof the fifteenth century, here uses the Seven-Point Mind Training as thebasis for illuminating the essential teachings on Buddhism, giving specialattention to the practices of “giving and taking” (tonglen) and of trans-forming adversity into opportunities for spiritual growth.

“Reading Ga Rabjampa’s commentary helps us realize that love,compassion, and kindness are not mere abstract good wishes

but are far more rich and profound.”—Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse,

author of What Makes You Not a Buddhist

Ga Rabjampa (1397–1470) founded Tharlam Monastery in 1436.Khenpo Appey (1927–2010) was a student of Jamyang KhyentséChökyi Lodrö and a tutor to Sogyal Rinpoche and Dzongsar JamyangKhyentse.

This TruthNever FailsA Zen Memoir in Four SeasonsDavid Rynick

Breathtaking glimpses of theluminous Zen of everyday life.

All of us have had moments, how-ever brief, when we catch aglimpse of the beauty and wonder

that surrounds us, that is us. The smell ofroses on a clear June morning, the spon-taneous hug of a toddler, the notes of amelody that resonate in our deepest heart,the loving eyes of a friend. What we longfor is always present, hiding in plain sight.Every situation we encounter contains thetruth of our existence; we are never sepa-rate from this mysterious aliveness. Thistruth never fails.

This collection of short observations and reflections is a “Zen memoir”—a record of ongoing practice and study of this extraordinary experience wecall ordinary life. While written over a period of several years, these pieces arearranged into the cycle of the seasons of a single year. Each piece stands alone,but is also part of an overall narrative that includes leaving a home of eight-een years and creating a Zen temple in a lovely old Victorian mansion.

Evocative of the intimacy and humor of Anne Lamott, the universality ofRobert Fulghum, the poetry of Mary Oliver, and the gentle warmth of LinJensen, this beautifully written, one-of-a-kind book will inspire readers ofvaried interests from all walks of life.

Like Suzuki’s Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mindmeets Lamott’s Traveling Mercies.
