The Teaching
This wonderful teaching is considered one of Tibet’s most revered instruction on how to follow the Mahayana teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha in it’s essence.
Sachen Kunga Nyingpo
One way or another, these four lines are incorporated in the practices of all the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. When Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, one of Tibet’s greatest nonsectarian master of the last century, was composing the famed Compendium of Pith Instructions, this text was kept first. This was taught by Manjushri to the Great Sachen Kunga Nyingpo and the way of interaction in this text is precise, complete and avoids verbal clutter. With just four lines, it is compact and easy to remember for the practitioners. As is often the way of great practitioners, one may receive hundreds of different teachings but for their practice they prefer a short and to the point instruction. For a follower of wisdom who wants to avoid downfalls on the path to liberation, it is impossible to reach enlightenment and gain wisdom whilst having any one or all of the four attachments. So needless to say, it is extremely important for us to have clear understanding of the path and the essence of our practice. Need for such clear instruction becomes clear if  are contemplating a bit of self awareness and ask oneself
-What have I been doing till now?
– Where is my life going from here?
– Enlightenment maybe my final destination but what is required of me right now?
– Where do I stand on the path?
