Dharma Publishing is proud to present Dimensions of Mind, a book by Tarthang Tulku that may be his most accessible work in years. Drawing on his many years of interacting with Westerners, Rinpoche engages a whole range of important and helpful topics, from the 4 immeasurables to joy as the foundation of the path to the nonduality of subject and object:

When steam rises off the water of a lake, the steam and the lake aren't separate. In the same way, the subject arises and takes on the form that it does through the encounter with the object. . . . Each shapes the other, and each depends on the other.

Written in the form of an extended interview, Dimensions of Mind is very user-friendly. Reading it, you have the sense that you are sitting in on a conversation with a friend who just happens to be the wisest and most supportive person you've ever met. There are 20 exercises, from 'Panoramic Seeing' to 'Building Positive Energy' to 'Thoughts without Ownership'.

Dimensions of Mind is published in the series, Understanding Self and Mind. Dharma Publishing recently issued the second edition of Revelations of Mind, also in that series.

Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche is a traditionally trained teacher and author in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in 1935 in eastern Tibet, Rinpoche 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. He is the author of over two dozen books, including Gesture of Balance; Time, Space, and Knowledge-a New Vision of Reality; Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga; Skillful Means; Revelations of Mind; and Caring.
