The Seven Points of Mind Training

The Seven Points of Mind Training

ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་གདམས་ངག་བློ་སྦྱོང་དོན་བདུན་མ།

EPUB KINDLE PDF

Though from beginningless samsara, all beings have assiduously chased after outer objects to procure happiness and remove suffering, these hopes remain unfulfilled. Knowing that one’s mind is the real source of all happiness and suffering, the Buddha taught countless means to tame one’s mind. With the Mind Training instructions, one uses any and all tribulations as means to gather the accumulations and remove obscurations. Merely adopting these mental attitudes allows one to use negativities for enrichment. They are pith instructions of the Mahayana.

The Ganges Mahamudra

The Ganges Mahamudra

ཕྱག་ཆེན་གངྒཱ་མ།

EPUB KINDLE PDF

The glorious Naropa was an eminent scholar who had consummated his understanding of the oceans of inner and outer philosophical tenets. Still, with no concern for his body or life, he endured intense hardships in order to receive introduction to the naked nature of mind, free of obscurations, which is the basis for all of samsara and nirvana. This pleased his master, Jetsun Tilopa, who sang him a song of mahamudra, an introduction to the essence of mind itself. This song became known as The Ganges Mahamudra (ཕྱག་ཆེན་གངྒཱ་མ།) and should be cherished by all beings who wish to avoid suffering and obtain happiness. This is the version of the root text referenced by Shamar Konchok Yenlak in his commentary on the text.
