H.H. Sakya Trizin delivered these teachings at Merigar during his visit in June 1998. At the beginning he explained: This teaching, the path of all buddhas of the past and of the future that contains all the deep meanings of all the sutras combined in a practical way, is known as the Mind Training or Pith Instructions, presented by the great masters in the most practical way through their own experience. This book is particularly useful for deepening the knowledge of the fundamental principles of Tibetan Buddhism.
