Classic Teachings from Tibet A Tibetan Buddhist anthology of accessible and authentic contemplative exercises to help cultivate innate yet undeveloped powers of mind, emotion, and body. A Penguin Classic Drawn from Tibet's rich contemplative literature, Buddhist Meditation offers classic exercises focused on the opportunities and challenges of life; cultivating inner calm; fostering a wider perspective on oneself in relationship to others; working with negative emotions, and the highest values of the Buddhist tradition, love and compassion. Several dozen meditation instructions are collected in twelve chapters. All major traditions of Tibetan Buddhism are represented. The book is structured on foundation practices, practice manuals that immerse the reader in the search for meaningful and compassionate responses to the ubiquity of human suffering, and in the contemplative techniques that translate that search into consequential action. Spiritual exercises introduce: 1) the opportunity for self-betterment and to be of benefit to other living beings: 2) the inescapable persistence of suffering in life, and the reality of death: 3) the workings of ethical cause and effect, otherwise known as karma and: 4) the ever-repeating succession of frustration known as cyclic existence, or samsara. The second set of foundation practices provide tools to build upon including: 5) taking refuge in Buddhism-a deep formal commitment to integrate Buddhist contemplative and ethical teachings into one's life: 6) cultivating love and compassion for all living beings: 7) clearing away cognitive, emotional, and behavioral impediments to actualizing love and compassion: 8) developing with wisdom and the experience and excellent qualities necessary to put love and compassion into practice and 9) dedicating oneself to a spiritual mentor to serve as a guide through this intensive program of training. Part existential philosophy, part ethics, part self-help program, part cosmology-the foundation exercises present a complete Buddhist picture of life, the ethical universe, and the first steps in making a positive impact in life for ourselves and others, steps anyone can begin to take by dedicating themselves to train in contemplative exercises.

The "21 Tara Thangka" is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting that depicts the Twenty-One Taras, a group of manifestations of the bodhisattva Tara. Thangkas are intricate scroll paintings that serve as visual aids for meditation, contemplation, and devotional practices in Tibetan Buddhism. The 21 Tara Thangka is a comprehensive representation of these different aspects of Tara, each associated with specific qualities and activities.

In the thangka, the central figure is Green Tara, surrounded by the other twenty Taras arranged in a circular or symmetrical pattern. Each Tara is identified by her unique color, posture, hand gestures (mudras), and accompanying symbolic elements. The thangka serves as a comprehensive reference for practitioners to connect with and invoke the blessings of the Twenty-One Taras.

Some were cremated, but others were buried sitting in a contemplative manner. They were hidden behind the earthen mound. As a result, the stupa's domed shape depicted a person seated in meditation, much like the Buddha was when he attained Enlightenment and understanding of the Four Noble Truths. The stupa's base depicts his crossed legs as he reclines in a contemplative attitude. The center of the mound depicts the Buddha's body, while the top of the mound, where a pole rises from the pinnacle and is surrounded by a little fence, represents his head. Before the development of depictions of the person Buddha, reliefs frequently represented practitioners exhibiting devotion to a stupa.--------------------------------------------Size: 48 cm(Height) x 26 cm(Width)Weight: 4.17 kg---------------------------------------------How to set up your own Buddhist Shrine?Find a clean, quiet, and uncluttered spotSet up an altar table, and cover it with an altar cloth that calls to youPlace your sacred item (statue, thangka, or a picture of Buddha) at the center
