Mind Training: Parting from the Four Attachments
28/02/2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, repeating until 18/04/2023
A study of teachings given by Sakya Trizin.
This is a profound introduction to Buddhist View and Wisdom, suitable for newcomers and seasoned practitioners alike.
8 weekly sessions, commencing 7 pm Tuesday 28th February and finishing Tuesday 18th April 2023.
Parting from the Four Attachments is a short teaching spoken by Manjushri to the Sakya patriarch Sachen Kunga Nyingpo:
If you are attached to this life, you are not a true spiritual practitioner.
If you are attached to samsara, you do not have renunciation.
If you are attached to your own self-interest, you have no bodhichitta.
If there is grasping, you do not have the View.
When he examined the truth of these words, Kunga Nyingpo understood that the entire practice of the path of the paramitas was condensed into training the mind in parting from these four attachments, and he attained a special conviction and insight into all the teachings of the Dharma.
