Compilation and commentary by Lama Phurbu Tashi Rinpoche.
This book teaches meditation through the exploration of three major areas: mindfulness, mind training, and the nature of mind. Mindfulness is explained through a very beautiful sutra called “The Four Foundations of Mindfulness”. The mind training instructions and commentary derive from the seven points of mind training from the Kadampa teachings. The nature of mind discussion is supported by the very profound and concise Mahamudra teachings of Kunkyen Pema Karpo. This work also provides a clear commentary on the nine stages of calm abiding meditation. This is a unique book that presents a complete, authentic and relevant teaching on Buddhist meditation.
