_"Emptiness:
Neither Existence Nor Voidness" Lectured
by Vajra Master Yeshe Thaye, Instructor-in-Charge of
the “Dudjom Buddhist Association”. A Set of 3 VCDs. English Edition. [Exchange Value US$24.00]
Brief Description - The focal-point of Buddhism is on “Emptiness”. Whether one can practice and attain
Buddhahood will totally have to depend upon the correctness and the degree of one’s understanding of
“Emptiness”, as well as on whether the understanding of it is up to the point or not. Yet, this most important Buddhist concept of “Emptiness” has been mostly misunderstood by the majority of people. This concept further marks all the major differences between Buddhism from all other religions and philosophies in the whole world. Furthermore, this important phenomenon of “Emptiness” was not created by the Lord Buddha as it is simply the “reality” of all phenomena. Even if the Lord Buddha did not appear in this world, this phenomenon of “Emptiness” still exists; just like the fact that, even though there might not have scientific proofs from scientists, yet salt continues to exist in sea water. Buddhism stresses that all phenomena are the results of “the co-existence of different illusions created by causes and conditions” (or known as the “interdependent origination of co-existence”), and so they are not truly existing in and of themselves. But, at the same time, Buddhism also reminds us that “causes and effects” are truly existing and they perfectly matching each other (i.e. a cause will eventually bear a result, no more and no less), and so this is perfectly true. Then, how can these two “relative concepts” – Neither Existence Nor Voidness – co-exist together at the same time? Here, we will try to use an innovative and scientific way to help analyzed the true meaning of “Emptiness”.

_Kyabje
Sangye Tsering Rinpoche at Our Consecration Ceremony Produced and
directed by Vajra Master Yeshe Thaye and Vajra Acarya Pema Lhadren, Instructors-in-Charge
of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association”, in 1 VCD. [Exchange Value US$8.00]
Brief Description - This is a recording of the Consecration Ceremony of the Dudjom Buddhist Association by
Kyabje Sangye Tsering Rinpoche. Fortunately, with the great kindness of the Great Master His Holiness Kyabje Chadral Rinpoche, Dudjom Buddhist Association was able to invite Kyabje Sangye Tsering Rinpoche to bestow this consecration ceremony. Kyabje Sangye Tsering Rinpoche is also one of the Great Masters of the Nyingma School - the oldest tradition - of Tibetan Buddhism. Being recognized as Great Saints and Scholars for his past 25 reincarnations, including the Mahapandita Vimalamitra and Longchen Rabjampa, Kyabje Sangye Tsering Rinpoche is now considered as the “tulku” of his last previous incarnation Nyoshul Khenchen Ngagi Wangpo Rinpoche. In his present life, Kyabje Sangye Tsering Rinpoche is always in retreats, and seldom go anywhere else for visits except for a few short trips to Chengdu. This Consecration Ceremony was, indeed, a rarity for Kyabje Sangye Tsering Rinpoche to come to Hong Kong, and so readers should feel most precious for this very special occasion.
