This book contains Rinpoche’s teachings on the practice of Vajrasattva, including first Taking Refuge, and explores in some depth what it means to ‘be pure,’ to ‘purify’ or to ‘realise Vajrasattva.’ These teachings were originally given at Bodhicharya Meditation Centre in Sikkim, so contain some of the essence of how these concepts can be explored more deeply in the spaciousness of retreat.
The book also presents the root text by His Holiness 17th Karmapa, which Rinpoche’s teaching is a commentary on. And incorporates calligraphies of Vajrasattva’s mantras byTashi Mannox and an image of Vajrasattva by Rinpoche’s brother and artist Salga. Compiled and edited by Mary Heneghan, with layout and design by Paul O’Connor.
