Introduction to Emptiness: As Taught in Tsong-kha-pa's Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path
Guy Newland

Snow Lion Publications, 2008

Fantastic Explanation of Emptiness for the Western Mind
I have read a great many books on the subject emptiness - both modern interpretations and source works. This particular book provides superior clarity and insight necessary to introduce the Western mind to a very difficult subject. The explainations are clear and the ...
  
  











  



  
The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

Snow Lion Publications, 1998

Ultimate Dreaming
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche presents Tibetan dream yoga in full detail, and most importantly, fully contextualizes its practice in the Dzogchen spiritual tradition. As I slowly worked my way through this illuminating book it increasingly dawned on me that this work was not ...
  
  











  



  
Buddhism for Beginners
Thubten Chodron

Snow Lion Publications, 2001

Great Buddhism Overview!
I agree with the title of another review, "Buddhism 101". This book gives you all the basics in a thorough, yet easy to understand manner. If you know a little about Buddhism but want to know what it all means, this is the book for you. Another review said it was ...
  
  











  



  
Open Heart, Clear Mind
Thubten Chodron

Snow Lion Publications, 1990

Extremely Accessible for Beginners
This book was the start of an unquenchable thirst for Tibetan Buddhism for me. I recommend it to beginners in Buddhism and as a complement to any variety of spirituality. A must for understanding and treating human suffering at the root cause.
  
  











  



  
Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism, Revised Edition
John Powers

Snow Lion Publications, 2007

Very good introduction
This is a very good undergraduate-level introduction to Vajrayana. It's well-organized, thorough without being too intimidating, and evenhanded. It really isn't a substitute for a teacher or time spent with a practice group, of course, but it'll help a newcomer make ...

Mind Beyond Death
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche

Snow Lion Publications, 2007

A True Wish Fulfilling Gem
As I've grown older I have truly relished the eruption of Tibetan wisdom literature and commentaries "coming online", as it were. Having cut my teeth on D.T. Zusuki and Herbert Guenther, the appearance of Thurman, Garfield, and now Ponlop Ripoche has further deepened ...
  
  











  



  
Healing with Form, Energy, and Light: The Five Elements in Tibetan Shamanism, Tantra, and Dzogchen
Tenzin W. Rinpoche

Snow Lion Publications, 2002

Best book on the subject available
The title is not a put-down of books like "Rainbow of Liberated Energy" or "The Five Wisdom Energies". They do particular justice to the subject of the five 'elements'. The point that I want to make is that I liked this one best, not just because of the friendly and ...
  
  











  



  
The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, Volume Two
Isong-kha-pa

Snow Lion Publications, 2004

Good explanation of the ultimate method of the Buddhist mahayana
(Because this is volume two, please refer to my review on volume one, ISBN 1559391529, for a general introduction to this important series). If you want to learn how to lead a truly meaningful life, and truly benefit yourself and others, then it is wonderful to be ...
  
  











  



  
The Supreme Source: The Fundamental Tantra of the Dzogchen Semde
Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Snow Lion Publications, 1999

A lucid gem of a book
This is one of the best Non-dual books that I have ever read. Much of original Buddha-ism is obscured in the diversity of Tibetan teachings. This book focuses only on the highest realization and clearly shows why other practices are lesser vehicles. This book is a ...

Women of Wisdom
Tsultrim Allione

Snow Lion Publications, 2000

Sustained by the voices of other women
There is a hunger among women practitioners for the stories of other women who have gone on before them. Often these stories have been lost or over time turned to silence. Tsultrim Allione, founder of Tara Mandala, a 600 acree retreat center in South West ...
  
  











  



  
A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life
Santideva

Snow Lion Publications, 1997

My humble opinion of an excellent book.
I have no understanding the of Tibetan or Sanskirt languages, so it is good to have Buddhist ideas put into English which is easy to comprehend. The translators have translated the Sanskirt as the main verse, but they have also included translations of the Tibetan ...
