Life stories of western Vajrayana Teachers and their teachings

• The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying (Paperback) by Sogyal Rinpoche (Author), Andrew Harvey (Editor), Patrick Gaffney (Editor)
  A "Bible" reveals the process of living and dying from the Buddhist perspective. I can never really say that I have fully read this book since the profound and unconceivable wisdom in this book transcends us, what we get from it evolves along with our own mental awakening.
  
  
• Reborn in the West
  by Vicki Mackenzie (Author)
  This is a book about Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo, the First Female Tulku Reborn in the West

• Stabilizing the Mind (Paperback)by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo (Author)
  Did not read this book yet, but by having listened to some of her teachings, I trust her mind of wisdom.

• Cave in the Snow by Vicki Mackenzie
  One of my favourite Western Buddhist Nuns - Tenzin Palmo, retreated in a mountain cave for 13 years. This is her story.

• Reflections On A Mountain Lake: Teachings on Practical Buddhism
  A must-read masterpiece by Ven. Tenzin Palmo.

• Art Of Happiness This is not a book written by His Holiness; rather, this is about a QA type of conversation between a western psychiatrist and His Holiness on common psychological issues.

• Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism
  by Chogyam Trungpa (Author)
  My favourite down-to-the-heart teachings given by Chogyam Trungpa. Lessons from an enlightened heart. Remember, Dharma is not what you think it is, it is what it is. So be open-minded.
