Teachings

The Precious Garland of the Sublime Path is an essential guide to Buddhist practice, covering the main ideas of Buddhist training from the fundamental tenets to the most subtle points. Crafted by the renowned 12th-century master, Gampopa, a disciple of the legendary Milarepa, these oral instructions weave together explanations of Buddhist sutras with the profound meditation instructions of Mahamudra.

True to the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, it is structured as a set of 28 memorable lists. Those who contemplate their meaning will uncover valuable truths about their own spiritual journeys, including:

• Ten Things to Persevere In

• Ten Things to Inspire Yourself

• Ten Ways to Destroy Yourself

Delve into the deeper meanings of this beautiful composition with Geshe Lhakdor, and experience the teachings in their original lineage, just as they were intended.

These teachings are suitable for all levels of practitioners: beginners and experienced alike.
