This is an edited version of a teaching given by Kyabje
Lama Zope Rinpoche at Tushita Meditation Center, McLeod
Ganj, Dharamsala, India at the end of the Second Enlightenment
Experience Celebration in March 1986. The recordings
of the teachings were transcribed by Ingeborg and Ailsa
Cameron and checked and edited by Uldis Balodis.
The
subject matter has been rearranged and collected under
various
topics.
During the process of rearrangement and editing, material
may have been lost and mistakes in interpretation been
made — for this the editor apologizes. The material
in the chapters titled Mandala Offering, Prostrations
and Water Offerings is separate to the seven limb practices
within the Ganden Lha Gyäma chapter because it
contains detailed instructions for performing the ngön-dro (preliminary)
practices.
This transcript was first published by Uldis Balodis
and Kopan Monastery in 1990.

Notes: In this transcript, Lama Zopa
frequently makes reference to His Holiness the Dalai
Lama's Lama Choepa (Guru Puja) commentary.
His Holiness gave this teaching during the Second
Enlightenment Experience Celebration — the same
event that preceded Lama Zopa's teaching here. His
Holiness' teachings were published by Snow
Lion Publications as The
Union of Bliss & Emptiness.
You can read a biography of Lama Tsong Khapa, and
find links to a number of the texts he authored, on
our website here.
Also, Rinpoche often refers to the text titled "The
Essence of Nectar", and you can find the root text
along with
Geshe Rabten's commentary in Essential Nectar,
published by Wisdom
Publications. |
