Description

Here, the Tibetan Buddhist teacher who's known for his joyous, spontaneous songs of realization presents the teachings for which he is known best, in three areas: traditional analytical inquiry, songs of realization, and altruistic prayers. Part 1 includes a section in verse that explains the progressively subtler and more profound levels of meditation on the nature of reality. Part 2 offers a brief introduction to the history and benefits of singing songs of yogic joy as a Buddhist practice. It includes commentaries on two songs by the famous Tibetan meditation master Milarepa, and offers step-by-step instructions on how to meditate on the true nature of the mind. Part 3 consists of teachings on the importance of making aspirations motivated by altruism.
