Buddhist Meditation : Classic Teachings from Tibet Kurtis R. Schaeffer; Kurtis R. Schaeffer Penguin Random House LLC, Penguin Random House LLC, [N.p.], 2024

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.

Dreaming the Great Brahmin : Tibetan Traditions of the Buddhist Poet-Saint Saraha Kurtis R Schaeffer; Sarahapāda; Bcom-ldan-rigs-paʼi-ral-gri IRL Press at Oxford University Press, Oxford University Press USA, New York, 2005

Dreaming the Great Brahmin explores the creation and recreation of Buddhist saints through narratives, poetry, art, ritual, and even dream visions. The first comprehensive cultural and literary history of the well-known Indian Buddhist poet saint Saraha, known as the Great Brahmin, this book argues that we should view Saraha not as the founder of a tradition, but rather as its product. Kurtis Schaeffer shows how images, tales, and teachings of Saraha were transmitted, transformed, and created by members of diverse Buddhist traditions in Tibet, India, Nepal, and Mongolia. The result is that there is not one Great Brahmin, but many. More broadly, Schaeffer argues that the immense importance of saints for Buddhism is best understood by looking at the creative adaptations of such figures that perpetuated their fame, for it is there that these saints come to life.

Himalayan Hermitess : The Life of a Tibetan Buddhist Nun Kurtis R. Schaeffer Oxford University Press, USA, Oxford University Press USA, New York, 2004

Himalayan Hermitess is a vivid account of the life and times of a Buddhist nun living on the borderlands of Tibetan culture. Orgyan Chokyi (1675-1729) spent her life in Dolpo, the highest inhabited region of the Nepal Himalayas. Illiterate and expressly forbidden by her master to write her own life story, Orgyan Chokyi received divine inspiration, defied tradition, and composed one of the most engaging autobiographies of the Tibetan literary tradition. The Life of Orgyan Chokyi is the oldest known autobiography authored by a Tibetan woman, and thus holds a critical place in both Tibetan and Buddhist literature. In it she tells of the sufferings of her youth, the struggle to escape menial labor and become a hermitess, her dreams and visionary experiences, her relationships with other nuns, the painstaking work of contemplative practice, and her hard-won social autonomy and high-mountain solitude. In process it develops a compelling vision of the relation between gender, the body, and suffering from a female Buddhist practitioner's perspective. Part One of Himalayan Hermitess presents a religious history of Orgyan Chokyi's Himalayan world, the Life of Orgyan Chokyi as a work of literature, its portrayal of sorrow and joy, its perspectives on suffering and gender, as well as the diverse religious practices found throughout the work. Part Two offers a full translation of the Life of Orgyan Chokyi. Based almost entirely upon Tibetan documents never before translated, Himalayan Hermitess is an accessible introduction to Buddhism in the premodern Himalayas.

The Culture of the Book in Tibet Kurtis R. Schaeffer, Kurtis Schaeffer New York: Columbia University Press, Paperback edition., New York State, 2014

"The history of the book in Tibet involves more than literary trends and trade routes. Functioning as material, intellectual, and symbolic object, the book has been an instrumental tool in the construction of Tibetan power and authority, and its history opens a crucial window onto the cultural, intellectual, and economic life of an immensely influential Buddhist society." "Spanning the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries, Kurtis R. Schaeffer envisions the scholars and hermits, madmen and ministers, kings and queens who produced Tibet's massive canons. He describes how Tibetan scholars edited and printed works of religion, literature, art, and science and what this indicates about the interrelation of material and cultural practices. The Tibetan book is at once the embodiment of the Buddha's voice, a principal means of education, a source of tradition and authority, an economic product, a finely crafted aesthetic object, a medium of Buddhist written culture, and a symbol of the religion itself. Books stood at the center of debates on the role of libraries in religious institutions, the relative merits of oral and written teachings, and the economy of religion in Tibet." "A meticulous study that draws on more than 150 understudied Tibetan sources, The Culture of the Book in Tibet is the first volume to trace this singular history. Through a single object, Schaeffer accesses a greater understanding of the cultural and social history of the Tibetan plateau."--Jacket

nexusstc/The Hidden Life of the Sixth Dalai Lama/a18511320889ab99fc260755a44c126f.mobi

The Hidden Life of the Sixth Dalai Lama (Studies in Modern Tibetan Culture) Ngawang Lhundrup Dargye, Simon Wickham-Smith (translator), Kurtis R. Schaeffer (Foreward) Lexington Books/Fortress Academic, Studies in modern Tibetan culture, Lanham, Md, Maryland, 2011

The unofficial biography of the Sixth Dalai Lama written in Tibetan by a Mongol scholar in 1757 is among the most remarkable and puzzling works of its genre. There are some who claim its authenticity; others are inclined to hold that it is an apocryphon. Whatever side one takes, there is one thing to be grateful for and that is that we now have Mr. Wickham-Smith's splendidly readable translation of this fascinating work, which till now was only available in a Mongol and a Chinese translation. This is a work of literature, if not history, that in the first instance ought to be of great interest to the social historian of the Tibetan cultural area and Inner Asia. Indeed, Mr. Wickham-Smith has done us all a great service with this wonderful and highly recommendable book. (Leonard W.J. van der Kuijp, Harvard University ) This intriguing biography written by an eighteenth-century Mongol scholar presents the Sixth Dalai Lama not as a drinker and poet, but as a solemn and sober Buddhist monk who lived the life of a wandering mendicant and spiritual teacher. Considered by some to be a fictitious account while others read it as authentic, this life story challenges common preconceptions of one of the most caricatured figures in Tibetan history. (Buddhadharma )

Histories of Tibet: Essays in Honor of Leonard W. J. van der Kuijp (Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism) Kurtis R. Schaeffer (editor), William A. McGrath (editor), Jue Liang (editor) Wisdom Publications MA, Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, 2023

The thirty-four essays in this volume follow the particular interests of Leonard van der Kuijp, whose groundbreaking research in Tibetan intellectual and cultural history imbued his students with an abiding sense of curiosity and discovery. As part of Leonard van der Kuijp’s research in Tibetan history, as he patiently and expertly revealed treasures of the Tibetan intellectual tradition in fourteenth-century Tsang, or seventeenth-century Lhasa, or eighteenth-century Amdo, he developed an international community of colleagues and students. The thirty-four essays in this volume follow the particular interests of the honoree and express the comprehensive research that his international cohort have engaged in alongside his generous tutelage over the course of forty years. He imbued his students with the abiding sense of curiosity and discovery that can be experienced through every one of his writings, and that can be found as well in these new essays in intellectual, cultural, and institutional history by Christopher Beckwith, the late Hubert Decleer, Franz-Karl Ehrhard, Jörg Heimbel and David Jackson, Isabelle Henrion-Dourcy, Nathan Hill, Matthew Kapstein, Kurtis Schaeffer, Michael Witzel, Allison Aitken, Yael Bentor, Pieter Verhagen, Todd Lewis, William McGrath, Peter Schwieger, Gray Tuttle, and others.

The Culture of the Book in Tibet Kurtis R. Schaeffer, Kurtis Schaeffer Columbia University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 3), New York, 2009

Drawing on sources spanning the fourteenth through the eighteenth centuries, Kurtis R. Schaeffer envisions the scholars and hermits, madmen and ministers, kings and queens responsible for Tibet's massive canons. He describes how Tibetan scholars edited and printed works of religion, literature, art, and science and what this indicates about the interrelation of material and cultural practices. The Tibetan book is at once the embodiment of the Buddha's voice, a principal means of education, a source of tradition and authority, an economic product, a finely crafted aesthetic object, a medium of Buddhist written culture, and a symbol of the religion itself. A meticulous study that draws on more than 150 understudied Tibetan sources, __The Culture of the Book in Tibet__ is the first volume to trace this singular history, allowing for a greater understanding of the Tibetan plateau. The history of the book in Tibet involves more than literary trends and trade routes. Functioning as material, intellectual, and symbolic object, the book has been an instrumental tool in the construction of Tibetan power and authority, and its history opens a crucial window onto the cultural, intellectual, and economic life of an immensely influential Buddhist society.

An Early Tibetan Survey of Buddhist Literature: The Bstan Pa Rgyas Pa Rygan Gyi Nyi 'od of Bcom Idan Ral Gri (Harvard Oriental Series): The Bstan pa ... (HUP)) Kurtis R. Schaeffer, Leonard W J Van Der Kuijp, Leonard W. J. Van Der Kuijp Harvard Department of Sanskrit and Indian Studies; Harvard University Department of Sanskrit and Indian Studies, Annotated edition, 2009

This volume is a study and edition of Bcom Idan ral gri's (1227-1305) Bstan pa rgyas pa rgyan gyi nyi 'od. Likely composed in the last decades of the thirteenth century, this systematic list of Buddhist Sutras, Tantras, Shastras, and related genres translated primarily from Sanskrit and other Indic languages holds an important place in the history of Buddhist literature in Tibet. It affords a glimpse of one Tibetan scholar's efforts to classify more than two thousand titles of Buddhist literature in the decades before the canonical collections known as the Bka' 'gyur and the Bstan 'gyur achieved a relatively stable form. Tibetan historiography traces the origin of the Bka' 'gyur and Bstan 'gyur to Bcom Idan ral gri's efforts, though the unique structure of the Bstan pa rgyas pa rgyan gyi nyi 'od, which differs greatly from available Bka' 'gyur and Bstan 'gyur catalogues, shows that the situation is more complex. Known to contemporary scholars of Tibetan literature for some time through mention in other works, Bcom Idan ral gri's survey has recently become available for the first time in two manuscripts. The present work contains a detailed historical introduction, an annotated edition of the two manuscripts, as well as concordances and appendices intended to aid the comparative study of early Tibetan collections of Indic Buddhist literature.

Among Tibetan Texts: History And Literature Of The Himalayan Plateau (studies In Indian And Tibetan Buddhism) E. Gene Smith; edited by Kurtis R. Schaeffer; with a foreword by Jeffrey Hopkins Wisdom Publications, Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, Boston, Massachusetts, 2001

among Tibetan Texts Is Part Of Wisdom's Acclaimed Studies In Indian And Tibetan Buddhism Series. For Three Decades, E. Gene Smith Ran The Library Of Congress's Tibetan Text Publication Project (pl480)an Effort To Salvage And Reprint The Tibetan Literature That Had Been Collected By Communities And Exiles Of Sikkim, Bhutan, India, And Nepal. Smith Wrote Prefaces To These Reprinted Books To Help Clarify And Contextualize The Particular Tibetan Texts: The Prefaces Served As Rough Orientations To A Poorly Understood Body Of Foreign Literature. Originally Produced In Print Quantities Of 20, These Prefaces Quickly Became Legendary, And Soon Photocopied Collections Were Handed From Scholar To Scholar, Achieving An Almost Cult Status. These Essays Are Collected Here For The First Time. The Impact Of Smith's Research On The Academic Study Of Tibetan Literature Has Been Tremendous, Both For His Remarkable Ability To Synthesize Diverse Materials Into Coherent Accounts Of Tibetan Literature, History, And Religious Thought, And For The Exemplary Critical Scholarship He Brought To This Field.

It offers diverse perspectives on a critical period in Tibet's history when Tibetans found themselves caught up in the tides of political turmoil and forced into the center of a much larger Central Eurasian struggle for power and territorial control between the Manchu rulers of the Qing empire and the Mongols of the north by focusing on the various ways Tibetan historians, biographers, and scholars of all sorts during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries succeeded in this task of reinventing and reinforcing their respective traditions.
