Longing for Limitless Light offers a sequential series of key texts in the Mahayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. These prayers and aspirations form part of the daily practice for many in the various Tibetan Buddhist traditions. They include prayers, aspirations, rituals and descriptions of a path to enlightenment.

 

The loving heart of Buddha Amitabha Limitless Light invites all beings into his pure realm of Happiness known as Dewachen or Sukhavati where, say the texts, awakening is easy. Relying on the warm presence of the Enlightened Ones, our lonely struggles can be left behind as we relax into the ever-inclusive ground of our being. These practices are an effective antidote to the sense of alienation and isolation which is so pervasive at this time.

 

The practice texts in this book offer tried and trusted ways to connect with the Buddhas whose welcome already awaits us.  They include the prayers and full ritual for Taking Refuge and for Taking the Bodhisattva Vow and prayers and practices such as the Dechen Monlam for Taking Birth in Dewachen.

 

They provide a coherent support for developing faith and confidence in this Mahayana method that unites wisdom and compassion.

 

The individual texts describe the many ways in which the Buddhist teachings invite us to a profound encounter with our own potential. Through developing our own qualities of generosity, loving kindness and genuine availability we connect with the ever-present welcome offered by all the Buddhas. To connect with the Buddhas is to connect with our own heart and through this to connect with all sentient beings.

 

Each text was translated from Tibetan by C R Lama and James Low together many years ago in India. James Low has recently revised them and written an introduction.

Industry Reviews


 

The author, James Low is very very lucid and precise in his writing style. So we get a good appreciation of the Vajrayana style of Tibetan Buddhist practice ... the practice is nothing to strive at and instead it is a state of relaxed being at ease with indistinguishability of awareness and experience. You can follow James Low to his website and hear even more detailed explanation... Anyone who has heard about Dzogchen somewhere can readily penetrate the essence laid out in this book. James Low has done great service to the Buddhist community via this book. (Simply Being)

 

I readed this book three times so far and continuing to read again and again, my friend who bought after me doing same thing and this time we bought it for our another friend in our small dharma group in Turkey. May the wisdom in this book meet with many many people generations after generations in varied geographies from Europe to Middle East and support the liberation of all beings. (Being Right Here)
