Named person: Sgam-po-pa, 1079-1153 : Gampopa
Description: The Four Dharmas of Gampopa are expressed in four lines:
Grant your blessings to myself and all beings that our minds may go to the Dharma.
Grant your blessings that the Dharmas 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 explanations of the methods of vajrayana practice, and finally, mahamudra.
Translated with great precision and skill by Karma Yeshe Gyamtso, this is a teaching of extraordinary depth and clarity that will benefit students at many levels of learning.
