Product Description
Oversize hardcover sharing the teachings, principles, disciplines and practices of Buddha-dharma as taught by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. English and Chinese text. This book documents the accomplishments of His Holiness Dorje Chang the Third, the leader of all Buddhas and the highest and greatest Buddha in the dharma realm. His Holiness is a Buddha--in fact, the primordial Buddha. He wishes to help restore the correct dharma and to give us dharma methods that are suitable for our age and place. This extraordinary book details thirty categories of accomplishments of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. This book also contains the translations of his discourses and demonstrates an outstanding and unprecedented mastery of exoteric Buddhism (the Tripitaka), esoteric Buddhism, and the Five Vidyas attained by H. H. Dorje Chang III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu.Although the Five Vidyas are simplistically defined as the Healing, Craftsmanship (art and technology), Sound, Causality (logic), and Inner-Realization, they really represent all that is good in the universethe original or true nature of everything. Very briefly, they include fixing that which is broken, incomplete, or inferior; creating beauty or joy; all forms of communication by sentient and non-sentient beings or things; the relationship between cause and effect; and supernormal powers. The Five Vidyas are the manifestation of the powers and wisdoms of holy beings. These vidyas represent the realization of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas they are the result of what holy beings do. They encompass everything seen and unseen, animate and inanimate in the universe that is beneficial to living beings. Everything in the universe can be classified into five aspects of brightness and darkness. That is the real meaning of the Five Vidyas. To develop everything that is good in the universe and that benefits living beings is classified as bright, while that which confuses and is evil is classified as dark.

To read this book, in its simplicity, and receive the full benefit, sit with it. Let the phrases fall upon you like mist, and soak in. Maha Ghosananda radiates the loving kindness he writes of--
Through taking the teaching into the minefields and the battlefields, the prisons and cities he has transformed Khmer society, step by step.
These are live words, filled with his presence, bringing peace to the reader.

Ven Maha Ghosananda,supreme patriach of Cambodian buddhism,4 time Nobel Peace Prize nominee,living boddhisattva,has penned a book of short meditations.Taken with the introductions, the book runs less then 100 pages . The meditations themselves are simple, unadorned filled with wisdom and compassion{Maha Ghosananda says that both are needed for healthy living}prayers, pleas for tolerance and forgiveness,and most of all hope.Maha Ghosananda has lived through a hell that is quite literally unimaginable,yet maintains his compassion, love and hope.It is not a book of advice,nor offering easy snap answers to impossible questions. Maha Ghosananda seems to put one foot in front of the other, and go on with the work in front of him. Perhaps that, in and of itself, is the true miracle.
