Lineage

"Essence of Activity's Play": the daily practice and collective revolution of Ratna Lingpa's Adamant Stake as arranged by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye (1813-1899); plus supplementary verses and prayers!

A collection of Scripture and Treatise: "The Bodhisattva Vow Ceremony" consists of the "7 Branch Prayer" for the accumulation of merit, the actual vow of spiritual heroes, verses of rejoicing, and the arising of perfectly pure moral conduct.

Each poem of the collection is an image of liminality between sacred and profane; vessel and contents. These "love" poems are sometimes peaceful, and sometimes fierce; ironic and uncanny. Compositional styles include the classical ode, blues, rock, free-form, pithy, and prosaic.

Prosimetric stories that pop along the way.

The Essence of Correlative Arising: The Mantra and its Provenance, and how to spell; plus a free PDF of Lama Tsongkhapa's "Excellent Praise."

Indo-Tibetan perspectives on the shape and characteristic of the buddhafield including in-depth source-text translations and references.
