“Gonpo Wangyal was famous as a meditator. He was particularly famous for his practice of chöd, a practice for realising the true meaning of the Heart Sutra. We are going to be looking at a text which is embedded in a practice of Machig Labdron. This was a practice which was very close to Chimed Rigdzin’s heart. It is a good condensation of the main points that we need in order to understand how to recognise our own nature and to be able to proceed in the world with ease. It is not an abstract theoretical philosophical text but rather a series of ‘pointing outs’ directing our attention towards a clearer understanding of how we actually function.”
