Cari Lettori,<\/p>\n

Shang Shung Publications \u00e8 lieta di annunciare che stiamo lavorando per lanciare il nuovo Web Shop a giugno con nuove funzioni e un nuovo layout.<\/p>\n

Progetto Audiobooks<\/h3>\n

Abbiamo avviato un nuovo progetto per creare audiolibri di alcuni testi pubblici del nostro Maestro. L\u2019intero PROGETTO AUDIOBOOK di SSP \u00e8 stato suggerito da Keith Hirsch. \u00c8 un Fratello del Vajra, nonch\u00e9 un amico, ipovedente. Ha pensato di esortarci a provare a realizzare questo progetto e SSP ha subito accettato. Il primo audiolibro (Starting the Evolution) \u00e8 stato realizzato nel 2023 e vorremmo continuare con altri, sia in inglese che in italiano. Forse in futuro anche in altre lingue. Le voci dei lettori sono veramente belle. Michael Velasco per l\u2019inglese e Jacopo Surricchio per l\u2019italiano. Grazie a entrambi. <\/p>\n

Freedom from attachment (in English) Audiobook \u2013 Voice Michael Velasco<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attachment is the root of all emotions and samsara. This was understood by mahasiddhas like Saraha and Tilopa, who spent years doing practices to transform impure vision into pure vision. Then they realized that the problem was not vision, but attachment. When the founder of the Sakyapa, Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, was twelve years old, he did a six-month retreat on the practice of Manjushri, and during that retreat Manjushri manifested himself to Sachen Kunga Nyingpo in a vision\u2026 <\/p>\n

Starting the Evolution (in English) Audiobook \u2013 Voice Michael Velasco<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ancient teachings of Total Perfection or Atiyoga, practiced for centuries in the snowy land of Tibet and recently introduced to the West, help us to discover the answer to these questions. They present the core of our being as being both completely pure and spontaneously perfect. <\/p>\n

Aprire la mente (in italiano) Audiobook \u2013 Voce Jacopo Surricchio. <\/strong>Primo audiobook della Shang Shung Edizioni in italiano.<\/strong><\/p>\n

L\u2019infaticabile attivit\u00e0 di insegnamento dell\u2019autore Namkhai Norbu (1938-2018) non era basata su un intento missionario, ossia su uno sforzo per cercare di promuovere una filosofia o una religione, un tentativo di convincere, istruire, indottrinare e fare proseliti. Piuttosto era il contrario: com\u2019egli stesso spiegava con grande chiarezza, insegnare una certa filosofia o predicare un sistema religioso, cercando di convincere gli altri con asserzioni fideistiche, assiomi e logica, \u00e8 un condizionamento che si aggiunge ai tanti che gi\u00e0 abbiamo. Ringraziamo il nostro caro amico Jacopo Surricchio per l\u2019impegno e la dedizione con cui ha svolto questo incarico. <\/p>\n

\"\"The Upade\u015ba on the Total Behavior of Equal Taste<\/strong>
An Oral Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The present volume contains the oral commentary to The Upadesha on the Total Behavior of Equal Taste belonging to the Longsal cycle of teachings rediscovered and taught by Ch\u00f6gyal Namkhai Norbu. It is based on the transcript of the retreat in Tokyo, Japan, 1\u20135 June, 2012, with additional notes from the retreat in Tashigar North, Venezuela, 15\u201316 May, 2004. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn general, when we learn any kind of teaching, such as Sutra, Vajrayana or Dzogchen, there are three aspects. In particular, when we are following a path, these are called tawa, gompa and ch\u00f6pa in Tibetan, which means point of view, application and attitude. These three aspects are of fundamental importance for those who follow the teaching and practice it. Why are they important? Because as human beings following the teaching, we have three levels of existence: our physical body, our energy level (also called voice), and mind. Therefore, whatever teaching we follow we should deal with these three levels of existence. For that reason, the teaching has three aspects.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"The Cuckoo of Rigpa (On sale from the 20th of June)<\/strong>
An Ancient Dunhuang Manuscript. Rig pa\u2019i khu byug <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cuckoo of Rigpa (Rig pa\u2019i khu byug), or Six Vajra Verses, is known to be one of the first five translations through which the great Tibetan translator Vairocana (eighth century) introduced the Dzogchen scriptures from O\u1e0d\u1e0diy\u0101na.<\/p>\n

Although its essence is contained in only six lines, it unmistakably expresses the principles of the base, path, and fruit of Dzogchen in their entirety.<\/p>\n

In the Dunhuang manuscript the six verses are followed by a commentary, possibly the work of Vairocana himself, that explains the meaning of each verse with utmost clarity, including in relation to specific points of the view and practice of the Vajray\u0101na path of transformation.<\/p>\n

In this book, the Dunhuang commentary is followed by the Author\u2019s annotational commentary elucidating the most important points. In the detailed introduction, which makes up the largest part of the book, Ch\u00f6gyal Namkhai Norbu first undertakes to identify the location of the ancient kingdom of O\u1e0d\u1e0diy\u0101na, the birthplace of the Dzogchen teachings, by relying on historical sources such as the travelogue of Ugyenpa Rinchen Pal (1230\u20131309), a Tibetan siddha who visited O\u1e0d\u1e0diy\u0101na in the thirteenth century. He then proceeds to show the connection between O\u1e0d\u1e0diy\u0101na and the ancient kingdom of Shang Shung by means of six reasons, on the basis of several B\u00f6npo historical accounts such as from the Dzogchen Oral Transmission of Shang Shung, and concludes with short biographies of the first human master of Dzogchen, Garab Dorje of O\u1e0d\u1e0diy\u0101na, of the great Guru Padmasambhava (eighth century), also from O\u1e0d\u1e0diy\u0101na, and of the Tibetan translator Vairocana. <\/p>\n

\"\"KHAITA Joyful Dances (On sale from the 20th of June) \u2018Tibetanness\u2019 and Wellbeing Through Tibetan Modern Songs and Dances<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 2011 until his death in 2018, Namkhai Norbu collected around 400 modern Tibetan songs and approved 240 dances to them as part of the Khaita archive. While some of the dances are based on the original choreographies of the music videos by the Tibetan artists, some have been purposefully created for Khaita under the consideration of the meaning of the Tibetan song texts. Khaita is primarily practiced by students of Namkhai Norbu within the International Dzogchen Community, yet is open to anyone interested, with or without affiliation to the community and is danced all around the world. In this regard, Khaita can be considered a translocal, even cosmopolitan practice. While being shared by people from all around the world and thus transcultural, Khaita at the same time refers to and establishes aspects of Tibetan culture. Namkhai Norbu thereby explicitly promoted Khaita as a practice to support Tibetan culture while opening it to non-Tibetan practitioners. <\/p>\n

\"\"L\u2019Upadesha sul comportamento totale dello stesso sapore<\/strong><\/p>\n

Il presente volume contiene il commentario orale a L\u2019upadesha sul comportamento totale dello stesso sapore, appartenente al ciclo di insegnamenti del Longsal, riscoperti e insegnati da Ch\u00f6gyal Namkhai Norbu. Il libro si basa sulla trascrizione del ritiro tenuto a Tokyo, Giappone, dall\u20191 al 5 giugno 2012, con note aggiuntive tratte dal ritiro tenuto a Tashigar Nord, Venezuela, dal 15 al 16 maggio 2004. <\/p>\n

\u201cColoro che applicano tali istruzioni, anche se all\u2019inizio potrebbero non avere la capacit\u00e0 di integrare totalmente, pian piano la svilupperanno ed entreranno nella via dei Rigdzin: seguiranno la via e faranno tutto in modo corretto. Queste istruzioni spiegano come si trasformano o si liberano le cinque emozioni, e i metodi usati sono completamente diversi da quelli del Sutra. \u00c8 possibile che ricordiate delle spiegazioni generali del Mahayana e del Sutra contenute nella Base del Santi Maha Sangha. Quello \u00e8 il modo generale di lavorare con le emozioni. Le istruzioni qui contenute, invece, sono per lo pi\u00f9 collegate alla nostra capacit\u00e0 di rimanere nella presenza istantanea. Se si ha tale capacit\u00e0, come ci si lavora? E come ci si collega alle emozioni specifiche? Se si comincia ad allenarsi secondo tali istruzioni non \u00e8 necessario sforzarsi a praticare per lunghi periodi di tempo, come nel Tantrismo, perch\u00e9 si pu\u00f2 sviluppare la capacit\u00e0 di integrare.\u201d Ch\u00f6gyal Namkhai Norbu<\/p>\n

\"\"Scoprire uno per scoprire tutto. La pratica dello stato primordiale <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tra i testi tibetani appartenenti alla serie dello Dzogchen Semde, si considera che quelli pi\u00f9 antichi siano le prime cinque traduzioni di Vairochana, ovvero Rigpai Khujug, Tsalchen Trugpa, Khyungchen Dingwa, Dola Serzh\u00fcn, Minubpai Gyaltsen (chiamato anche Dorje Sempa Namkha Che) pi\u00f9 il Mejung: quindi in totale sei volumi.<\/p>\n

In tempi relativamente recenti, nel 1971, \u00e8 stato scoperto un altro libro che contiene le istruzioni essenziali sul modo di applicare la pratica nel puro stile Dzogchen in accordo con i sei testi citati. L\u2019autore di questo volume non \u00e8 noto, ma pu\u00f2 essere attribuito a Nubchen Sangye Yeshe. <\/p>\n

\"\"Padmasambhava\u2019s Advice on Total Perfection.<\/strong>
A Hidden Treasure Discovered by Dorje Lingpa. An Oral Commentary by Namkhai Norbu. <\/strong><\/p>\n

https:\/\/shangshungpublications.com\/it\/products\/9788878344471_ebook-padmasambhavas-advice-on-total-perfection-epubmobi.html<\/a><\/p>\n

The teachings contained in this volume consist of a rich collection of advice and methods of practice which have the sole aim of helping the practitioner to actually discover their real condition of Total Perfection or Dzogchen, and remain in this presence. The book is a commentary to an ancient Tibetan text discovered by a 14th century master known as Dorje Lingpa. <\/p>\n

Dorje Lingpa lived in fourteenth-century Tibet. He was universally recognized by his contemporaries as a tert\u00f6n: a person who discovers hidden treasures, or termas, which are teachings that were first taught and then concealed at the time of Guru Padmasambhava. Therefore we consider most of the teachings discovered by Dorje Lingpa to be taught by Padmasambhava and then concealed by one of Guru Padmasambhava\u2019s famous disciples, Vairocana. <\/p>\n

The Preliminaries of the Path of Ati (A ti lam gyi sngon \u2019gro) is a special Vajrasattva purification practice received through dreams in 2003 and 2004 and related to the transmission of the Author\u2019s Root Guru Changchub Dorje (Byang chub rdo rje, 1863\u20131963). It belongs to the same genre of preliminary Longsal teachings as The Crucial Preliminaries of the Path of Ati (Ati\u2019i lam gnad sngon \u2019gro), translated and published in Longsal Commentaries, Volume Three, and although it does not deal as exhaustively with the Purification of the Six Lokas and other aspects of the preliminary practices of Dzogchen as the latter, it is of particular importance as in its central part it focuses on the principle of the three dimensions, or tal (dal), of Guru Vajrasattva and elucidates the way to access them. <\/p>\n

Introduction to The Vajra Dance. The first public book about Vajra Dances <\/strong><\/p>\n

This volume is divided into two parts. Part One is dedicated to a selection of Ch\u00f6gyal Namkhai Norbu\u2019s written and oral teachings on the principles of Dzogchen, the Vajra Dance and related topics. Part Two, which is dedicated to the actual practice, reproduces two chapters of Ch\u00f6gyal Namkhai Norbu\u2019s main work on the Dance of the Vajra, titled The Precious Lamp. These chapters are taken from Adriano Clemente\u2019s English translation of the Tibetan text and describe two Vajra dances: the Vajra Dance of the Six Spaces and the Dance of the Three Vajras. <\/p>\n
