Click to enlarge	DOLPOPA SHERAB GYALTSEN'S MOUNTAIN DOCTRINE DVD by Ven. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, trans. by David Karma Choephel 20+ hours, 8-DVD set. #DOSHDV - $ 140.00 In the Third Turning of the Wheel of Dharma, Buddha taught the Shentong view that emptiness is not merely empty, but rather is endowed with the essence of wisdom. This is Buddhanature. In this teaching, Thrangu Rinpoche emphasizes the importance of cultivating certainty in both the Rantong (self-empty) and Shentong (other-empty) views as a necessary foundation for practicing the deity practices of the creation stage of secret mantra as well as the completion practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen's Mountain Doctrine teaches the view (Buddhanature). This is what is most needed in order to engage in practices to realize the nature of mind. Dolpopa presents the nature of the ground, how to practice the path and what result is attained through practice. Dolpopa teaches the view through inference rather than through direct experience. Rather than presenting practice instructions, Dolpopa tells us how to take inference as the path. In these DVDs Thrangu Rinpoche presents detailed teachings and commentary on Dolpopa's Mountain Doctrine. The text for this recording is available in English as Mountain Doctrine: Tibet's Fundamental Treatise on OtherEmptiness and the Buddha Matrix, translated by Jeffrey Hopkins. More ...
