Description
From this book we have the opportunity to discover buddha nature, the potential in all of us to attain buddhahood, and a fundamental concept of Buddhism that has not often been written about for a Western audience. Unlike what we may believe, that buddhahood is meant for few, this book opens us up to the understanding of, and confidence in, our full potential.This book presents teachings that Shamar Rinpoche gave on buddha nature in Dhagpo Kagyu Ling, France. In a very inspiring way, the author clearly points out what really counts: the heart of awakening is nothing other than our true nature, and therefore all of us, in fact every sentient being, can awaken to their buddha qualities. Shamar Rinpoche bases his explanations on the text "Revealing Buddha Nature" by the 3rd Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje (1284-1339). A translation by the book's translator of the underlying text is also included.

About the Author
Shamar Rinpoche (1952-2014) nació en Tíbet y, en 1957, fue reconocido como el 14° Shamarpa por el 16° Karmapa y por el 14° Dalai Lama. En 1996, organizó los Centros Budistas Bodhi Path, una red de centros presentes en varios continentes en los cuales se practica la meditación desde un enfoque no sectario. Asimismo, a lo largo de los años, Shamar Rinpoche fundó por todo el mundo varias organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro que participan en actividades de ayuda, como la escolarización de niños desfavorecidos y la promoción de los derechos de los animales. En su libro anterior, El camino al Despertar (Rabsel Éditions, 2011), Shamar Rinpoche abordaba el tema de la meditación explicando con sutileza los Siete Puntos del Entrenamiento de la Mente de Chekawa Yeshe Dorje; obra que representa una guía para vivir una vida plena desde la perspectiva budista así como un manual completo de técnicas de meditación.
Dr. Tina Draszczyk, M.A., studied Tibetology and Indology at the University of Hamburg. Since the early 1980s, she learned and practiced mainly under the guidance of Shamar Rinpoche. Since the late 1980s, she repeatedly interpreted for him. From 1992 to 2005 she acted as an interpreter at the Karmapa International Buddhist Institute (KIBI) in New Delhi while continuing her own studies there at the same time. She completed her doctoral thesis at the Department for South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies of the University of Vienna on the integration of the notion of buddha nature in meditation practice.
