Ringu Tulku Rinpoche on Stabilizing Recognition of the Nature of Mind

We are pleased to welcome Ringu Tulku Rinpoche back to KCC this autumn. Rinpoche will be teaching from Chapter 9: “Stabilizing Recognition of the Nature of Mind” from his book Confusion Arises as Wisdom: Gampopa’s Heart Advice on the Path of Mahamudra. 

This book is a collection of dialogues between Gampopa and his students, where Gampopa addresses such questions as: “What is the nature of our mind and how do we come to recognize it?” His responses are spoken in plain, direct language in the form of heart advice for practicing and recognizing the nature of mind.

Gampopa, a twelfth-century Buddhist monk in Tibet, was one of the principal disciples of the great yogi Milarepa. He is known for joining the sutra mahamudra teachings of the Kadampa school with the tantra mahamudra teachings of Milarepa’s lineage and sharing these instructions widely.

Ringu Tulku Rinpoche makes Gampopa’s pith instructions wonderfully accessible by combining his extensive scholarship and deep practice with his gentle, warm, and often humorous manner of transmitting the Dharma. Practitioners of all levels are sure to benefit from Rinpoche’s practical style of sharing the teachings. Please join us for a weekend of heart advice for turning our own confusion into wisdom.

Ringu Tulku Rinpoche’s extensive website contains much valuable information about his activities, including a brief biography.
