S012E07 The Jewel Ornament Of Liberation — Class 7 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The class continues the chapter on the precious human life, reading that a human life is defined by capacity - the ability to attain either the higher realms or definite goodness - and Atisha's three types of person: the inferior who seeks the pleasures of Samsara, the mediocre who seeks only their own peace, and the superior who wants to exhaust the suffering of others. It takes up virtue as sila, actions that cool rather than heat, and closes with Marpa telling Milarepa that had he finished th
S012E06 The Jewel Ornament Of Liberation — Class 6 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The class turns to the second chapter, on the precious human life, and reads the eight unfavorable conditions not as other realms but as states a human passes through in a single day. It also takes a hard question about compassion offered where it cannot be received, and answers that the weight of an act lies in the intention behind it rather than in the act itself. This series of 60 Dharma talks were recorded during a retreat at Crystal Mountain Retreat Centre, Galiano Island, during July and A
S012E05 The Jewel Ornament Of Liberation — Class 5 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The class covers the Mahayana family and warns that the labels are easily misapplied - a Vajrayana practitioner can drift, unnoticed, into practicing only for their own liberation.

S012E04 The Jewel Ornament Of Liberation — Class 4 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The class reads Mipham on the four veils that obscure Buddha Nature and the four things that clear them: interest in the Mahayana, wisdom, meditative concentration and love. It then separates two things easily confused - perfectionism, which is neurotic and insists that things be perfect, and perfecting, the patient work of drawing the best out of a tea, a crystal or a being. It closes with Milarepa handing the monk Gampopa a skull cup of beer to see whether he would drink it. This series of 60
S012E03 The Jewel Ornament Of Liberation — Class 3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The class takes the first chapter, which begins at the top with Buddha Nature rather than working up to it. Most of the hour goes into Tathagatagarbha itself - gata meaning gone but also arrived, a gate that opens both ways, and garbha meaning womb or inner chamber, filled with potential - set against the ordinary conviction that the world is only as wide as it currently looks.
