The Two Accumulations: Merit and Wisdom (Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche) (ADN)

Description

Rinpoche begins the weekend with a public talk on the preciousness of having a genuine spiritual teacher and guide. It is through the guidance of this kind and compassionate spiritual friend that we are able to traverse the ground, path and fruition towards attaining supreme awakening. Rinpoche offers advice on what to look for in the qualities of a teacher, how to relate to one and be a genuine student, and the importance of cultivating devotion. The remaining four sessions of the weekend are devoted to understanding the need for the two accumulations of Merit and Wisdom. Emptiness and luminosity, the twofold purity of Buddhahood, are inherent within all of us. They do not need to be sought elsewhere because they reside within us in their entirety, but if we do not remove the obstacles that obscure their presence, these qualities will not become manifest. It is the accumulation of merit and wisdom with pure motivation that assists us in driving away the clouds that hide our true nature. Five talks.

Features

"Mainly English" Edition
Because Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche spoke for long periods of time in Tibetan, his long monologues have been curtailed so that the continuity of the English translations of these teaching is not broken. Thus, the voice heard for the vast majority of the time is that of the translator, Lama Yeshe Gyamtso. The unedited teaching (including all Tibetan) is available on DVD.
MP3 Audio Download Recordings
The MP3 audio files 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).
