towards enlightenment

Peace Times 1

Despite having a busy schedule, including personal meetings, travelling, teaching, and being a healer, spiritual guide and peace messenger, Lama Gangchen was able to put down in writing the basic and inspiring principles of his projects.

In order to coordinate the bulk quantity of written material, Lama Gangchen founded the Lama Gangchen Peace Publications, thanks to the kind support of many friends. This publisher edited four series of books titled: Self-Healing Books, Peace Books, Environment and Lungten-Oracles, now translated into many languages including Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Portuguese.

The three books of the first series, titled Self-Healing I, II and III, respectively collect “Suggestion From a Tibetan Master”, “Tantric Teachings to Connect this World to Shambala Through Peace Energy” and “The Guide to the Good Thought Supermarket”. This material describes the theoretical and practical aspects of Ngalso Tantric Self-Healing and proposes a relaxing collection of positive thoughts meant to purify and heal body, speech and mind.

Being a precious bestower of wisdom, Lama Gangchen created the first book of Oracles, “how to heal and pacify the mind when unbalanced by doubt, confusion and uncertainty: it is enough to ask, sincerely, an enlightened answer...”

Once healthy, we have to become peace messengers: Clear Moon Light Messenger of Peace I and II. The first originally introduces the moral value of inner peace as the most solid foundation of universal peace and offers the principles needed to create one education towards peace for the modern society. The second is a collection of practical suggestions, a behavioural handbook and a résumé of Buddha Shakyamuni’s teachings about Tendrel Nyingpo: the interdependent arising of phenomena. The last of the peace books is the volume dedicated to children W the Peace in the World, which presents simple exercises of meditation to reach of inner peace.

The attention of Lama Gangchen to improve the living conditions of all human beings includes purification of the environment. Making Peace with the Environment is based on Guru Buddha’s teachings revealed 2.500 years ago and in perfect accord with the Tibetan tantric tradition. We learn how to purify the five elements and regenerate the inner and outer environment, with the female energy of the Five Great Mothers.

Peace Publications also edit the tapes Self-Healing I-II, Self-Healing for Children, Making Peace with the Environment, to support the practical execution of the “mudra” and “mantra” described in the books themselves. Also available are: Tara Self-Healing, Tara, the Enlightened Woman, The Eight Noble Ones, The Prayer, which are versions of traditional prayers based on “world music”.

Particular attention should be paid to the collection of four videotapes, kindly produced by Marco Columbro and available also in English: The Smile of the Wisdom is a complete interview with H.H. the XIV Dalai Lama. Lastly, we travel with Lama Gangchen from the practical exercises of Self-Healing to Tibet and India in the footsteps of the Buddha and the great Masters of the past, by means of Self-Healing II, The Land of the Golden Roofs and The Light of Buddha.
