TRANSCRIPT
OF THE TEACHINGS GIVEN
BY LAMA THUBTEN ZOPA RINPOCHE AT THE SEVENTH MEDITATION
COURSE NOVEMBER-DECEMBER, 1974
The following is a transcript of
teachings given by Thubten Zopa Rinpoche at the
Seventh
Meditation
Course. They form
an
auto-commentary
on the Course Text, The
Wish-fulfilling Golden Sun of the Mahayana Thought
Training. The page
numbers referred to herein relate to the work copy of
The Wish-fulfilling Golden Sun.
When Rinpoche read directly from the Text Book it
was not recorded here - these notes are his comments
and explanations given during the reading.
It is likely that there are
some errors due to hearing incorrectly. Furthermore,
in punctuating the text it is inevitable that some
gross distortions of meaning have occurred, as a result
of the complete lack of Dharma understanding in those
responsible. The compilers apologies for all this and
ask the forgiveness of the Holy Guru through whose
infinite kindness this text appears. Yet they hope
that it may be of some benefit to mother sentient beings
- may all without exception be released from suffering
now.

talks generally follow the table of contents of the first
