Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche
Distinguishing Phenomena and Pure Being

Khenpo Rinpoche will teach from Distinguishing Phenomena and Pure Being which was composed by Maitreya during the golden age of Indian Buddhism. Mipham's commentary supports Maitreya's text in a detailed analysis of how ordinary confused consciousness can be transformed into wisdom. Easy-to-follow instructions guide the reader through the profound meditation that gradually brings about this transformation. Ju Mipham Rinpoche (1864-1912) was a great master of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan buddhism and one of the leading figures in the Ri-me (non-sectarian) movement in Tibet. Rinpoche will also teach selections from the vajra songs of the realized masters of India and Tibet.

Rinpoche requests that everyone brings a copy of Distinguishing Phenomena and Pure Being to the teaching. It can be purchased at Snow Lion Publications or at the door.
