Rinpoche begins his first visit to Australia, November 1998, at the Kagyu E Wam Buddhist Institute with an evening talk presenting Milarepa's A Song of Meaningful Connections   རྟེན་འབྲེལ་སྙིང་པོའི་གླུ།  and instructions on shamatha and vipashyanā   ཞི་གནས་དང་ལྷག་མཐོང་སྒོམ་པ།

He follows that up in the coming weeks with evening talks on the five tenets. Rinpoche relates his explanations to songs of realization by Jetsün Milarepa.

Please note that in a broader context, the title "Progressive Stages of Meditation on Emptiness"   སྟོང་ཉིད་སྒོམ་རིམ།  is also used for "View of the Tenets" or "Stages of View"  གྲུབ་མཐའི་ལྟ་བའམ་ལྟ་བ་རིམ་འཇུག།

In the weekend, Rinpoche visits Maitripa Retreat Center.
