When the Chocolate Runs Out

Lama Yeshe

A pocket-sized, value-priced hardcover

gift book from the bestselling author of
Introduction to Tantra and
The Bliss of Inner Fire.

W
e all love chocolate—perhaps so
much so that on some level we
may believe, “As long as I have
chocolate, I’ll be happy.” But sometimes
the chocolate disappears, and we get nerv-
ous, upset—or at the very least, quite
cranky. This funny and trenchant little vol-
ume attempts to answer the question of
how we can be happy even after the
9780861712694 | Trade cloth “chocolate” has run out. By cutting the

August 2011 available to us.
Lama Yeshe has long endured as a figure
of playful wisdom and powerful compassion. This beautiful little book cap-
tures the remarkable personality of this uniquely gifted and clever master
who played an integral role in introducing Tibetan Buddhism to the world.
When the Chocolate Runs Out will delight both readers who have known
Lama Yeshe for decades and those who have never met this timelessly inspir-
ing spiritual teacher. This book is a companion to How to Be Happy and
A Heart Full of Peace.

Lama Yeshe (1935–84) was born and educated in Tibet and fled the Chinese occu-
pation of his homeland in 1959. In the late 1960s, he began teaching Buddhism to West-
erners in Nepal with his chief disciple, Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Together they founded the
international Buddhist organization the Foundation for the Preservation of the
Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), which now has more than 160 centers worldwide.

Zazen, Dogen, and

Taigen Dan Leighton

Z
en continuously questions. This
does not necessarily involve finding
answers, but rather finding a space
in which to sustain questioning, being will-
ing to remain present and upright in the
middle of questions. Being able to do this
enables us to live more flexibly, spaciously,
and kindly with our not-knowing. Insights
and responses may appear, of course—
sometimes more frequently as we settle
into the open spaciousness of meditation—

eBook 9780861717088 the path of questioning.
November 2011 This book begins by exploring “The
World of Zazen”—the essential physical
practice of sitting, the foundational practice of the Zen school—and presents
it as an attitude of sustained inquiry that offers us an entryway into true
repose and joy. Then Leighton draws deeply on his own experience as a Zen
scholar, teacher, and translator, honoring the fact that most Zen teaching is
not discursive, but rather poetic and imaginative, and deeply exploring the
poetic mind of the ancient Japanese master Dogen, as well as the poetry of
Rumi, Mary Oliver, Gary Snyder, and Bob Dylan. What’s more, Leighton
uncovers surprising resonances between the writings of America’s Founding
Fathers and Zen’s liberating ideals and considers the deep conflict between
consumerism and Zen and the Buddhist response to contemporary ecologi-
cal and societal challenges.

Taigen Dan Leighton is a Soto Zen priest and Dharma suc-

cessor in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and the San Fran-
cisco Zen Center. He is the author of Faces of Compassion and
Visions of Awakening Space and Time: Dogen and the Lotus
Sutra and is co-translator and editor of several Zen texts, includ-
ing Cultivating the Empty Field, as well as The Wholehearted
Way and Dogen’s Pure Standards for the Zen Community, both translated together
with Shohaku Okumura. He currently teaches at the Institute of Buddhist Studies of
the Berkeley Graduate Theological Union and leads the Ancient Dragon Zen Gate
meditation group in Chicago.

bridge University, Thupten Jinpa has been a principal
English translator to His Holiness the Dalai Lama for over
two decades. He has translated and edited numerous books

Stages of the
Buddha’s Teachings
Three Key Texts
Dölpa, Gampopa, and Sakya Pandita
Translated by David P. Jackson,
Ulrike Roesler, and Ken Holmes

NEW FROM
THE LIBRARY OF TIBETAN CLASSICS

T
he “stages of the teachings,” or ten-
rim genre of Tibetan spiritual writ-
ing, expounds the Mahayana
teachings as a graded series of topics, from
the practices required at the start of the
9780861714490 | Trade cloth bodhisattva’s career to the final perfect
864 pages | $59.95 awakening of buddhahood. The three texts
eBook 9780861717989 in the present volume all exerted seminal
November 2011 influence in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
The first text, The Blue Compendium,
presents the instructions of the Kadam teacher Potowa (1031–1106) as
recorded by his student Dölpa (1059–1131). This text is followed by Gam-
popa’s (1079–1153) revered Ornament of Precious Liberation, which
remains the most authoritative text on the path to enlightenment within the
Kagyü school. The final text is Clarifying the Sage’s Intent, a masterwork by
the preeminent sage of the Sakya tradition, Sakya Pandita (1182–1251).

David P. Jackson is professor emeritus of Tibetan studies at the University of

Hamburg. The author of A Saint in Seattle, he is currently a curator with the Rubin
Museum of Art in New York. He lives on Whidbey Island, Washington.

Ulrike Roesler teaches Indian studies at the University of Freiburg in Germany

and specializes in the history of the Tibetan Kadampa tradition.

Ken Holmes studied in Dharamsala, India, before joining Samye Ling in Scot-
land, the first Tibetan monastery in the West, in 1970. As director of studies there,
he has devoted the past forty years to researching, translating, and teaching. He
spends much of the year teaching in Europe and Africa.

tion of emptiness that is
the essence of wisdom. English monk Graham Wood-
house, a longtime student of Buddhism who lives near the Dalai Lama’s resi-
dence in northern India, translates Tsongkhapa’s celebrated text and conveys
for modern readers the teachings he received from his teacher, the late Venera-
ble Lobsang Gyatso.

Lobsang Gyatso was born in 1928 in a small village in eastern Tibet. He

became a monk at the age of eleven, and in 1945 traveled to central Tibet to study
at Drepung Monastery. Fleeing Tibet in 1959, he went on to found the Institute of
Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala, India, in 1974. He died in February 1997.

A British monk, Graham Woodhouse is one of the very few Westerners trained
in the traditional Tibetan way as a geshe. A graduate of the Institute of Buddhist
Dialectics in Dharamsala, he has deep knowledge of the texts, skill in translating,
and an ability to convey the subtleties of Buddhist thought in lucid English.

Publication’s Tibetan Art Calendar, are highly sought-after and have
become collector’s items for art enthusiasts around the globe. As a result,
the best of these works—in private hands or even museum collections—are
seldom, if ever, available for public viewing.
This is why Wisdom’s Tibetan Art Calendar is so special—it’s an afford-
able way to enjoy incredibly rare and meaningful works of ancient art, year-
round. These thirteen sacred paintings by Tibetan master painters encompass
a variety of classical images, including mandalas, deities, and icons. Each
poster-sized picture is produced to the highest German printing standards
and is perfect for framing. Complete with in-depth explanations of their cul-
tural and philosophical significance, these exquisite fine art reproductions will
be treasured for years to come.

This elegant 16.5” x 23.5”

European art–style calendar
makes the perfect gift.
