Confusion Arises as Wisdom

“I am pleased that Ringu Tulku has chosen to share in Gampopa’s spirit of offering the Dharma, in publishing this translation and commentary on Gampopa’s Great Community Talks. I am confident that the coming together of these two—root text and commentary, Gampopa and Ringu Tulku—will be a source of goodness in the world.”—Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the Seventeenth Karmapa “Pithy and to the point, Gampopa’s heart advice to his assembly captures in poetic fashion the importance of seeing the mind as it is, recognizing pitfalls along the path, visualizing the tantric deity, and listening to the dharma. Much of his advice is directed toward experienced meditators in retreat, and though Gampopa’s verses on the intricacies of meditation are concentrated, Ringu Tulka adds water with his stories and commentary, making these teachings vibrant and refreshing for practitioners of Mahamudra.”—Buddhadharma: The Practitioner’s Quarterly
