They describe their experiences when working with children and adults living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases. Music therapists, as clinicians, are strongly engaged with their clients: it is this intimacy which is so important for those who are suffering. In this book, the dedication of the therapist to allow and encourage personal expression in others, is reflected. It is of relevance, therefore, to all those involved in caring for the sick and the dying. While there are traditions of case presentation and musical excellence within music therapy, and a developing practice of research, the tradition of clinical writing has been neglected.

Enthronement: The Recognition of the Reincarnate Masters of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Londro Taye, Jamgon Kongtrul / Lodro Taye, Jamgon Kongtrul / Kon-Sprul, PUBLISHER: Snow Lion Publications, Even the most casual contact with the culture, politics, or religion of Tibet and the surrounding region brings outsiders face to face with the institution of reincarnate spiritual masters. Past masters are identified as small children installed in their predecessor's monastery in a ceremony called "enthronement" and educated to continue the work of their former incarnation. This custom has provided a principal source of spiritual renewal for Himalayan Buddhists for the past thousand years. The introduction places the subject of reincarnate meditation masters within two major contexts: the activity of bodhisattvas, and in modern Tibetan society, where the reappearance of past masters is both natural and profoundly moving. Tai Situpa Rinpoche, a contemporary reincarnate master and a leader of the Kagyu lineage, describes the process of finding other reincarnate masters. Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye, an outstanding writer and meditation master, offers a traditional view of the enthronement of reincarnate masters.
