The 5th Shamarpa, Könchok Yenlak’s “Seven points of Mind Training”
Teachings with Ven. Lama Jampa Thaye
“Train impartially in every instance. Once deep and inclusive training has taken place, love everyone.”
Written by the 5th Shamar Rinpoché, Könchok Yenlak (1526–83), this condensed presentation of the lojong (“mind training”) maxims and explanations is a practical companion book for more extensive commentaries. Lama Jampa Thaye gave an extensive explanation of the text and the meditation practices set out therein, illuminating the heart of the lojong (mind training) practice.
Lama Jampa Thaye is one of the leading Buddhist teachers in the West and has been a student of HH Sakya Trizin and Karma Thinley Rinpoche since 1973. He has Centers in Britain, Europe and the American continent and has authored books translated into numerous languages. As an accomplished practitioner with a Doctorate from the University of Manchester he is uniquely qualified to bring the teachings of the Buddha to a modern audience.
With his scholarly, comprehensive and above all crystal clear teaching, I realized the significance of the teacher in Tibetan Buddhism and the importance of receiving the teachings from an authentic lineage and a highly qualified Lama.
