Description
His Holiness Sakya Trizin, head of the Sakya lineage, presents the essential Buddhist teachings on the four noble truths, universal compassion, and the proper motivation for practice. This book begins with a private teaching given to a young newcomer seeing to understand the Sakya heritage. His Holiness's advice inspires us to integrate the living power of these teachings into our daily lives. Filled with timeless wisdom, Freeing the Heart and Mind also contains an explanation of the teaching on Matchless Compassion by the Indian saint Virupa, and a selection of commentaries on the essential teaching called Parting from the Four Attachments. Even though it was developed as the first volume in a course of study for Sakya students, it stands alone as an excellent entry into the teachings of the Buddha.
