(note: this was among my to-be-reviewed books that ended up in the hands of the wrong people when moving 4/1/18 - see https://btripp-books.livejournal.com/206862.html for details - I did brief reviews of these lost books on recall) (finished 11/30/17) Over the past few decades I've read a lot of Buddhist material, and especially Tibetan material, so the broad strokes of this book were not unfamiliar. The author was a mystic seeker and adventurer who sought out “hidden knowledge”, and ended up reporting fairly straight forwardly on what she encountered. The title here is not really representative of what's in the book, which is more of an “explanation of Mahayana Buddhism” (to use Alan Watt's description) than “secrets”, oral or otherwise. LAS ENSEÑANZAS SECRETAS DELOS BUDDHISTAS TIBETANOS PREFACIO A LA PRIMERA EDICION Se advierte al lector que lo que se le ofrece en el presente libro es un "reportaje" que se refiere al cuerpo de Enseñanzas que los tibetanos denominan Sangs wai Dam ngags °,es decir: "Enseñanzas secretas".° Ortografía tibetana: gsnag bai gdam ngag. La forma en que debemos entender el calificativo "secreto" aplicado a estas enseñanza es explicada en las siguientes páginas, así como la manera en que son transmitidas. Me esforcé en exponerlas de una manera completamente objetiva; las opiniones que pueda sustentar personalmente no tienen por qué expresarse en una presentación que no tiene ningún fin propagandístico y que sólo apunta a que se conozcan algunas de las doctrinas profesadas por una elite intelectual tibetana poco accesible a los investigadores extranjeros .Es de desear que cada uno de mis lectores se forje su propia opinión respecto de las teorías que encuentre en este libro. Serán materias de reflexión y meditación, si le parece bien. En todos los dominios, la tarea de un investigador sólo consiste en ofrecer a quienes se dirige un número de hechos apropiados para ampliar el círculo de sus conocimientos. CAPITULO I EL SECRETO Ya hace mucho que se me había ocurrido la idea de escribir este libro. En una hermosa tarde de verano expuse mi proyecto a un erudito tibetano que llevaba una vida contemplativa en una casita fijada al flanco rocoso de una montaña. Apenas si me alentó. "Trabajo perdido, decía, la masa de los lectores y oyentes es idéntica en el mundo entero. No me cabe la menor duda que las gentes de su país se parecen a las que encontré en China y en la India, y aquéllas no difieren en nada de los tibetanos. "Hábleles de verdades profundas, bostezan, y si se atreven, la dejan sola, pero basta referirles absurdas fábulas, son puro ojos y oídos. "Quieren que las doctrinas religiosas, filosóficas o sociales que se les predican sean agradables, que concuerden con sus conceptos, que satisfagan sus inclinaciones, en suma, desean reencontrarse en ellas y sentirse aprobadas por ellas". El Maestro no me enseñaba nada nuevo sobre ese particular. Centenares de veces había oído, en Occidente, a hombres y mujeres que expresaban el deseo de hallar una religión que los satisfaciera, o los había visto rechazar una doctrina con estas palabras: "no me satisface ". ¿Y qué era pues aquello que deseaba ser agradablemente acariciado, satisfecho?

This is an account of the Madhyamika (Middle Way) school of Buddhism, a method of mediation and enlightenment that was developed by the great Indian teacher Nagarjuna. In a collaboration between the Frenchwoman Alexandra David-Neel and her friend, the Tibetan lama Aphur Yongden, these teaching are presented clearly and elegantly, intended for the layman who seeks a way to practice and experience the realization of oneness with all existence. "...this is the most direct, no-nonsense, and down-to-earth explanation of Mahayana Buddhism that has been written. Specifically, it is a wonderfully lucid account of the Middle Way method of enlightenment worked out by the great Indian sage Nagarjuna." --Alan Watts,The Book "The Secret Oral Teachings in Tibetan Buddhist Sects by Alexandra David-Neel and Lama Yongden, is always on my night stand. I return to it again and again in different stages of my life." --Marina Ambramovic "David-Neél herself is often relegated to the ranks of "women adventurers" this despite the production of some forty-odd books, several of which have wielded an extraordinary influence." --Harry Oldmeadow, La Trobe University, Bendigo, Australia Alexandra David-Neel was born in 1868 in Paris. In her youth she wrote an incendiary anarchist treatise and was an acclaimed opera singer; then she decided to devote her life to exploration and the study of world religions, including Buddhist philosophy. She traveled extensively to in Central Asia and the Far East, where she learned a number of Asian languages, including Tibetan. In 1914, she met Lama Yongden, who became her adopted son, teacher, and companion. In 1923, at the age of fifty-five, she disguised herself as a pilgrim and journeyed to Tibet, where she was the first European woman to enter Lhasa, which was closed to foreigners at the time. In her late seventies, she settled in the south of France, where she lived until her death at 101 in 1969. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
