SAMSARA, NIRVANA Y NATURALEZA DE BUDA

by Dalai Lama XIV, Ch (Translator)

“El material de este volumen es de un valor Incalculable para quienes desean sinceramente comprender el sendero budista y empezar a seguirlo” –VENERABLE SANGYE KHADRO, autor de Cómo meditar– …………………………………………………………………………… EN ESTE NUEVO LIBRO del Dalai Lama, se desvela el potencial infinitamente vasto de la su naturaleza de buda. La comprensión de la naturaleza de buda revela y reconcilia la paradoja de cómo la mente puede ser tanto la base del duhkha del samsara (la mente no purificada) como la del gozo del nirvana (la mente purificada). Para ilustrar este hecho, Samsara, nirvana y naturaleza de buda, lleva a los lectores en primer lugar a través del pensamiento budista acerca del yo, las cuatro verdades y sus dieciséis atributos. Después explica las aflicciones –incluyendo cómo surgen y sus antídotos– y, a continuación, ofrece un análisis del karma y la existencia cíclica para, finalmente, exponer una profunda y extensa explicación de la naturaleza de buda. Samsara, nirvana y naturaleza de buda, nos enseña cómo purificar nuestra mente y desarrollar las cualidades iluminadas. ………………………………………………………………. Este es el tercer volumen de la serie definitiva y completa del Dalai Lama acerca de las etapas del sendero budista, Biblioteca de sabiduría y compasión. El volumen 1, Un acercamiento al sendero budista, contiene el material introductorio que establece el contexto de la práctica budista. El volumen 2, Fundamentos de la práctica budista, describe las importantes enseñanzas que nos ayudan a establecer una floreciente práctica de Dharma. Samsara nirvana y naturaleza de buda, se puede leer como el siguiente paso lógico en esta serie o disfrutarlo por sí mismo.

About the author

Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso (born Lhamo Döndrub), the 14th Dalai Lama, is a practicing member of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism and is influential as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the world's most famous Buddhist monk, and the leader of the exiled Tibetan government in India.

Tenzin Gyatso was the fifth of sixteen children born to a farming family. He was proclaimed the tulku (an Enlightened lama who has consciously decided to take rebirth) of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two.

On 17 November 1950, at the age of 15, he was enthroned as Tibet's ruler. Thus he became Tibet's most important political ruler just one month after the People's Republic of China's invasion of Tibet on 7 October 1950. In 1954, he went to Beijing to attempt peace talks with Mao Zedong and other leaders of the PRC. These talks ultimately failed.

After a failed uprising and the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959, the Dalai Lama left for India, where he was active in establishing the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan Government in Exile) and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him.

Tenzin Gyatso is a charismatic figure and noted public speaker. This Dalai Lama is the first to travel to the West. There, he has helped to spread Buddhism and to promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony.

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal on 17 October 2007.
