This vivid personal account of a journey through the "bardos" and "pure realms" was recorded by 16-year-old Dawa Drolma of Eastern Tibet, a renowned female lama and a "delog"-one who crosses the threshold of death and returns to tell about it. What she saw during her five days of travel through other realms engendered in her a limitless compassion for sentient beings.

The ngondro, or preliminary, practices are the foundation of Vajrayana Buddhism. The Dudjom Tersar ngondro, a treasure revealed by Dudjom Lingpa, a previous incarnation of Dudjom Rinpoche, is a concise, yet very powerful set of practices for turning the mind to dharma, purifying obscurations, accumulating merit, and opening the door to the mind's true nature through guru yoga.

Incarcerated in San Quentin at the age of 19 for armed robbery, Jarvis Masters was accused four years later of participating in a conspiracy that resulted in the death of a prison guard. Finding Freedom is a collection of prison stories -- sometimes shocking, sometimes sad, often funny, always immediate -- told against a background of extreme violence and aggression. Masters' commitment to nonviolence leads him more and more into the role of peacemaker as he tries to put compassion into action. We see Masters meditating amid chaos and squalor, touching the hearts and minds of those around him.

Among the works in Longchen Rabjam's famous collection, The Seven Treasuries, commonly known as the Chöying Dzöd concerns the spiritual approach known as trekcho (cutting through solidity), which brings spiritual practitioners of the highest acumen to freedom effortlessly. The Chöying Dzöd consists of two texts: a set of source verses entitled The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena and Longchenpa's own commentary on those verses, A Treasure Trove of Scriptural Transmission. Each of these has been published separately. This book, A Treasure Trove of Scriptural Transmission, contains commentary with source verses interspersed.
