SARAHA'S DOHA FOR THE KING MP3 CD SET by Thrangu Rinpoche, trans. by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso 11-talk MP3 CD set. #SADOMP - $ 49.50 When Saraha encountered a wisdom dakini and began to engage in yogic practices, the King encouraged him to return to traditional monastic practice. In response, Saraha sang this doha. A doha is not a gradual and systematic instruction on practice. Rather it is a song expressing bliss resulting from personal realization. Upon hearing this doha, the King gained realization. Saraha’s doha presents ground, path and fruition mahamudra, first in summary and then more extensively using various analogies. Thrangu Rinpoche’s teaching provides clear, profound and extensive commentary on Saraha’s doha. Lama Yeshe Gyamtso translated. "Mainly English" Edition, edited to curtail long sections in Tibetan. | |

THE SEVEN POINTS OF MIND TRAINING: A Commentary on Atisha's Teachings by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, trans. by Erik Pema Kunsang 8-CD set. #SEPOCD - $ 63.00 Enlightenment is the fruition of Buddhist practice. While Mahamudra is a powerful and swift practice for achieving ultimate realization, strong emotions can obstruct our progress on this path. The Seven Points of Mind Training, a relative bodhicitta practice brought to Tibet by Atisha (982-1054 CE) is very effective in working with negative emotions. In these nine talks The Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche gives clear and concise explanations of these Seven Points which are presented in Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye's classic text The Great Path of Awakening. In Rinpoche's view, the combination of Mahamudra and the Seven Points of Mind Training is an excellent balance of both ultimate and relative bodhicitta practices that together offer a swift path to full realization.
