Treasures from Juniper Ridge

Treasures from Juniper Ridge combines meditation and pith practice

instructions in a way that is easy to apply and comprehend. It is a compilation

of discovered teachings, termas, by the greatest master of Vajrayana

Buddhism, Padmasambhava, hidden by his female disciple, Yeshe Tsogyal.

Treasures is replete with pieces that are direct, profound, fresh, and pertinent

to our times.

These various revelations are for all levels of practitioners. They provide indepth explanations of assorted aspects of practice, including: deity, death

and dying, non-conceptual meditation and recognizing mind nature. The

book outlines ways to apply these teachings for the modern student, while

remaining true to traditional principles.

"Padmasambhava's pith instructions are extremely important because he

is not just a legendary figure or an ancient myth. He is an actual person

who continuously carries out spontaneous activities, including manifesting

as treasure revealers, so that there is always a fresh, unimpaired teaching

that people can practice. This also ensures that Padmasambhava's spiritual

influence and blessings are unceasing.

The special quality of these terma teachings is that they provide a method

for accomplishment that is appropriate for each specific generation, period

of time, and individual person who meets them. The treasure teachings

he gave on the Juniper Ridge of Crystal Pearls contain the essential meaning

of hundreds of such instructions."
