Welcome to Dechen Ling Press! |

 Dechen Ling Press is dedicated to providing practice texts and commentaries for Tibetan Buddhist Practitioners of the Gelugpa tradition. David Gonsalez (also the director of Dechen Ling Tibetan Buddist Center in Seattle, Washington) is the translator of those texts that range from the Heruka Root Tantra to practice texts (sadhanas) for common practices like Chenrezig, Medicine Buddha, and Amitayus. His goal is to provide fresh and practicable new translations of these extremely profound texts.
 The focus of David's work is Heruka Chakrasamvara in the Ghantapada tradition. Not only has he translated the complete text of the Heruka Chakrasamvara Root Tantra (forthcoming in 2010, but 1st and last chapters already available) but also an extenisve selection of practice texts (sadhanas) for the outer mandala (= Heruka Five Deity Mandala) and the inner mandala (= Heruka Body Mandala) of Heruka Chakrasamvara. Very few authentic sadhanas for the Chakrasamvara practice had been available in the English language before David started out translating these texts. Thanks to his tireless work Dechen Ling Press now is offering three sadhanas for the Heruka Chakrasamvara 5-Deity and four for the Heruka Body Mandala practices.
Other areas of David's work are the Highest Yoga Tantra practices of Chittamani (Cittamani) Tara, Hayagriva, and the White Heruka practice in the Ganden Oral tradition. In the same tradition is David's translation of the Yellow Yamantaka sadhana.
Dechen Ling Press is currently switching from publishing those texts as hardcopies to making them available as digital (PDF) downloads. Dechen Ling still has a number of hardcopies available. They can be ordered online on the center's website www.dechenling.org. |
