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 Buddha-nature. In this teaching, Thrangu Rinpoche emphasizes the importance of cultivating certainty in both the Rangtong (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 (Buddhan-nature). 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 the practice. Doplopa 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 DVD's Thrangu Rinpoche presents detailed teachings and commentary on Dolpopa's Mountain Doctrine.

“Grant your blessings to myself and all beings that our minds may go to the Dharma.
Grant your blessings that the Dharma may become a path.
Grant your blessings that the path may clarify bewilderment.
Grant your blessings that bewilderment may arise as wisdom.”
Despite their brevity, these lines express the entirety of the Buddha’s teachings. In this masterful exposition, Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche illuminates their meaning in a series of six talks. Beginning with the story of Lord Gampopa, the great bodhisattva who integrated the Kadampa lineage of Atisha with the mahamudra lineage of Milarepa, it continues with the motivation for turning one’s mind to Dharma, developing the correct motivations for practice, concise explanation of the methods of vajrayana practice, and finally mahamudra.

In 1958, the Chinese invaded Kham in tibet, destroying monasteries and imprisoning monks. In the previous summer, Khenpo Gangshar foresaw that the difficulties Tibet was already experiencing were going to escalate. In order to help the monks progress rapidly on the path so they could meet their challenges skillfully, he gave this teaching on naturally liberating whatever you meet. Thrangu Rinppoche, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche received this profound cycle of teachings. Khenpo Gangshar summarizes this teaching at the outset:
“A worthy student is one who aspires to practice the profoundest of the profound and secret vajrayana - the essential oral instructions of all the anuttara yoga tantras or the nature of the realization of effortless ati. To meet the needs of such a student, these three points should be taught: The preliminary steps of mind training, the main practice of pointing-out, and the subsequent application, combining the profound advice into key points.”
The preliminary steps include the analytical meditation of the pandita. The main practice, the resting meditation of a kusulu is presented in two points: resolving and distinguishing. The profound advice includes instructions on the wisdom of emotions, taking the bardo state as the path and taking sleep as the path.
In these talks Thrangu Rinpoche provides clear and concise commentary on this amazing text. Rinpoche concludes several talks with meditation sessions. Others conclude with question-answer sessions with students.

Saraha's Doha for the King, DVD
By: Thrangu Rinpoche
|
|
Our Price: $120.00
|
|
|
The text of instructions on which these talks are based is Saraha's Doha for the King. When Saraha encountered a wishom dakini and began to engage in non-traditional yogic practices, the local King tried to convince Saraha to return to a more traditional monastic approach. In response, Saraha sang this doha. A doha is not a systematic and gradual instruction on practice. Rather, it is a song expressing bliss resulting from personal realization. As a result of hearing this doha, the King gained realization. Saraha's doha is organized in terms of the ground, path and fruition of mahamudra, each of which is summarized and then presented more extensively using various analogies. Thrangu Rinpoche's teaching provides clear, profound and extensive commentary on Saraha's doha.
This teaching was presented at an 8-day-long event in July 2002 to celebrate the consecration of 35 acres of land in Crestone, Colorado that has been given to Thrangu Rinpoche by the Manitou Foundation for the purpose of building a retreat center. Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche was present for the entire event, gave one of the 12 talks, and participated in the in the land consecration ceremony.
