It presents the essence of the entire graded path to enlightenment, using Tsongkhapa's Great Graded Path (\u003ci\u003eLam rim chen mo\u003c\/i\u003e) as its model. In twenty-three pieces of advice, he explains the need to renounce the world, how to develop genuine compassion, and methods for achieving an undistracted mind that can unite meditation on emptiness with compassion. His nonsectarian approach is evident in his teachings on the nature of mind according to the Mahamudra tradition of Milarepa, his practical explanations of Saraha's songs of realization, and the attainment of buddhahood without meditation, which draws on the teachings of the Great Perfection, Dzogchen. Shabkar's style is direct and fresh; his realization infuses his instructions with an authenticity that will continue to inspire Buddhist practitioners for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snow Lion Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781559394611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Shabkar Tsogdruk Rangdrol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43378357141685,"sku":"9781559394611","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2f0a14a5-fa92-4df8-9c42-d5cc7ae37590.jpg?v=1701753014","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-emanated-scripture-of-manjushri-shabkars-essential-meditation-instructions-9781559394611","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
