About this product

Product Information

Yoga came to Tibet from India more than a thousand years ago, and it was quickly absorbed into the culture's rich traditions. In this small book readers will discover Heart Yoga, which developed over the centuries in the Gelukpa tradition of the Dalai Lamas. The program presented here combines popular yoga exercises wtih special Tibetan poses, and methods of working from the inside to give a healthy and a happy heart. Roach discovered a number of previously unkwn Tibetan works on yoga in the course of his ongoing efforts to find and preserve ancient Tibetan Buddhist texts. He discusses the ideas and insights presented in these texts and places them within the context of the Buddhist tradition. To help readers incorporate this ancient wisdom in their daily lives, he provides a specific regime of yoga postures and meditations. Combining instructive illustrations with the unique philosophical underpinnings of the Buddhist approach, Geshe Roach has created a unique program for yoga on a physical and spiritual level.

The book is in "reasonable" condition! not vg condition as described- front cover permanent fold over on arrival, packed this way ? pages are yellowing. Seller may be best to place a description "proper" of actual book being sold on the listing with photos so buyers know what they are receiving for the price paid.

  • Don't waste your time or money. No longer a Geshe and doesn't know Yoga

    The author, going thru a period of grandiosity wrote this book during a retreat in which he broke his vows, elevated the object of his desire to "Goddess" and led to the death of a mentally ill young man. Sad but true, the author was later defrocked and dismissed by the Dalai Lama. No doubt the author's knowledge and ability to read Tibetan Buddhist texts, but he clearly lacked the insight, permission and pith instructions to present these materials, which do not represent the extensive and complete path of Tibetan Yoga. It's an interesting remnant of a very regrettable time and distorted self concept. Even from the standpoint of the Hatha yoga tradition this is superficial. It is basically his conjecture and piecing together of somethings he became fascinated with. In a limited way he ...
