Sogyal Rinpoche ~ Finding Peace, Compassion and Wisdom in a Complex World

This complete teaching from Adelaide, 2 February 2004 brings together many aspects of Sogyal Rinpoche's instruction on meditation into one essential teaching.
What determines whether we are happy or suffering is our perception of ourselves and the world. Therefore, if we can overcome our dualistic mind, we will no longer be subject to the fickleness of momentary thoughts and moods, and find lasting happiness. We achieve this through practising meditation, compassion, and above all, by transforming our mind.
Meditation slows down our tendency to grasp and react to what we perceive. By gradually learning to remain undistracted in the pure knowing quality of the mind, concepts and conflicting emotions dissolve and we discover our inherent wisdom.
In this teaching, Rinpoche explains in depth and with great humour how meditation allows us to work directly with the three mental consciousnesses, purify ourselves of all obscurations and, ultimately, attain enlightenment.

The BEST! I love the way he distills the highest wisdom, with down to earth humor! Great art!

A brilliant teacher, a brilliant teaching from a brilliant mind.

Incredibly abusive and manipulative person. He died from the evil he had inside

[@dorjinamgyal1530]

@@aleks4307 You should not believe that which has not been substantiated; Sogyal Rinpoche has been coming down in time since the years of the historical Buddha, and he has the blessings of all the Buddhas coming from that time.

Rest in peace sogyal rinpoche !!!

[@garypuckettmuse]

His book is a masterpiece. If you only read one book, read it. I like to be dismissive of popular books but sometimes books are just hardcore masterpieces and that is why they are popular and this Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is one. Give it to everyone you know. If they just read the introduction you have changed their lives for the better.
