Book Description
"The Perfection of Meditation" is a teaching given by Khenpo Appey Rinpoche at Sakya Tenphel Ling, Singapore and translated by Ngawang Samten. This teaching begins with the definition of the perfection of meditation. Then Rinpoche explains in detail antidotes for the causes of distraction, which is the main obstacle of meditation, and how worldly, Hinayana and Mahayana meditations are the methods to overcome the distraction directly. Rinpoche further gives instructions for developing Mahayana meditation according to the Madhyamika tradition, and concludes with the benefits of meditation in this life as well as in future lives.
"The Great Song of Experience" is composed by Jetsun Rinpoche Dragpa Gyalsten (1147-1216) who is the third founder master of the Sakya tradition. This Song is principally concerned with view, meditation, conduct, and the result, Buddhahood. This song is translated from Tibetan into English by Acharya Migmar Tseten and Kunga Namdol.
