Description
The Four Thoughts of the Instruction Lineage include, but are not identical to, the Four Reminders in the Kagyu Ngondro liturgy. Ponlop Rinpoche presents an extensive explanation of these Four Thoughts: (1) the thought that turns the mind to dharma (includes precious human birth and impermanence), (2) the thought that turns the mind away from samsara (includes karma and the sufferings of samsara), (3) the thought that turns the mind away from temporary peace, and (4) the thought that turns the mind away from duality. These thoughts are explained from a Mahayana perspective. Extremely useful for Ngondro practitioners. Taught in English. Five talks.
Features
- MP3CD Recordings
MP3CDs look like ordinary CDs, but contain compressed audio files. While a regular audio CD holds a maximum of only 80 minutes of recorded audio, an identical-looking MP3CD can easily hold the audio files from an entire weekend or even week-long teaching. MP3CDs can be played in a computer and/or the audio files can be downloaded into an iPod or similar device. MP3CDs may also be played on a portable MP3CD player. Most ordinary CD players, such as the CD player in most older cars (roughly 2005 and earlier), will not play MP3CDs. Many but not all cars 2006 or later do have MP3-capable CD players. Any car or home stereo CD player that is capable of playing an MP3CD will have “MP3” or “MP3-WMA” clearly marked on the front of it. -
- The MP3CDs available for sale on this web site are all clearly labeled and packaged in a clear case. The audio files on them have proper ID3 tag information, which means that on a computer, iPod or similar device the audio files will display (and can be searched by) Album (Title of teaching), Song (Talk number within a teaching) and Artist (Teacher).
