| About Ego, Attachment &
Liberation
In 1975, Lama Yeshe undertook his most extensive international
teaching tour, being on the road for nearly nine months.
During this time he gave many and varied teachings,
a few of which have already been published in Becoming
Your Own Therapist, Make Your Mind an Ocean
and The Peaceful Stillness of the Silent Mind.
This book contains the teachings and meditations Lama
gave at a five-day retreat he led near Melbourne, Australia,
which he introduced by saying:
"Whether or not this five-day meditation course
becomes beneficial is up to you; it depends on your
own mind. It’s not a lama thing; I’m not
going to bring you to enlightenment in this short time.
Instead of having too many expectations of the lama,
it’s better that you generate a pure motivation
for being here. Expectations cause mental problems;
instead of being positive, they become negative...
"If over the next five days you can begin to recognize
the reality of your own nature, this meditation course
will have been worthwhile. Therefore, dedicate your
actions during this time to discovering inner freedom
through recognizing the negative characteristics of
your own uncontrolled mind."
In line with Lama’s intentions, this book is
dedicated to the awakening of inner freedom within the
minds of its readers and all other sentient beings.
