Bodhichitta and the Bodhisattva Vow (MP3)

Description

This teaching by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche is based on The Lamp That Illuminates the Path of Awakening, an original text on the cultivation of bodhicitta composed by Lord Atisha himself. Rinpoche’s teaching includes detailed practical instructions on cultivating aspiration and implementation bodhicitta as well as instructions on intensifying bodhicitta through training in moral discipline, meditative absorption and discernment or wisdom. Rinpoche also comments on the importance and value of the Bodhisattva Vow as the means to further connect wit hbodhicitta. Translated by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso. Four talks.

Features

Mainly English Edition: Because Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche spoke for long periods of time in Tibetan, his long monologues have been curtailed so that the continuity of the English translation of these teachings would not be broken. Thus the voice heard for the majority of the time is that of the translator, Lama Yeshe Gyamtso. The unedited version of these teachings is available on DVD.
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).
