The Life &
Teachings of Gampopa
By The Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche
Paperback, 154 pages
US$14.50 + shipping

To read spiritual biographies of the Kagyu
lineage masters is a great inspiration to
enter the path and also provides encouragement
and enthusiasm to continue when circumstances
become difficult. The spiritual biography
of Gampopa, covered in the first half of this
book, is a very good example of avoiding the
extremes in practice and of showing how we
should correctly practice.
Gampopa was the main disciple of Milarepa
and one of the founders and shining jewels
of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism from
which originate the four greater and eight
lesser schools.
Besides writing the Jewel Ornament of Liberation,
Gampopa distilled the Buddhist path into four
short lines or truths, called dharmas. These
lines became known as the "Four Dharmas of
Gampopa." The second half of this book translates
these four lines along with a detailed commentary
on each by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche.
