      • Audio of talk 1, Tibetan only, Bouddha 1987 File Audio file (MP3)

        Beautiful introduction to bodhicitta and mahayana with vajrayana included.

        Rinpoche here outlines the view, stages of meditation, paths and bhumis, and the results of the causal yana of characteristics. He does this in his own words even though he says, this is taught in Lodrö Thaye's Treasury of Knowledge.

        First turning ཆོས་འཁོར་དང་པོ་བདེན་པ་བཞིའི་ཆོས་འཁོར། teaches the four types of truth of the noble ones.

        Second turning བར་པ་མཚན་ཉིད་མེད་པའི་ཆོས་འཁོར།, teaches the lack of characteristics

        Third turning  ལེགས་པར་རྣམ་པར་ཕྱེད་བའི་ཆོས་འཁོར། teaches the full, thorough discernment, because it teaches the three natures.
