Synopsis

Ways of Work is a history of the Nyingma organizations' practical experience with the Skillful Means approach to work and spiritual practice. This volume is a way of offering the fruits of nearly twenty years of experience to individuals and organizations likely to benefit from them. This short compilation touches upon some of our more important projects as well as describing the ways that we work, the reasons we work, and the results our work has brought into being. These accounts include descriptions of the kinds of challenges students within the Nyingma centers have faced and examples of how the learning process manifests in experience.

About the Author

Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche, a traditionally trained teacher and author in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and Head Lama of the Tibetan Nyingmapa Meditation Center. Rinpoche was born in 1935 in eastern Tibet, where he studied with many of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century. After leaving Tibet, Tarthang Tulku taught from 1962 to 1968 at Sanskrit University in Varanasi, India, where he also established one of the first printing presses to print sacred Tibetan texts. The first lama of the Nyingma lineage to establish residence in the United States, Rinpoche established a mandala of organizations to actualize his long-range vision of preserving the ancient teachings of the Buddha and transmitting them to the modern world.
