Speaker: Elizabeth Ready. Elizabeth discusses various pith instructions of the guru, from Dzigar Kongtrul’s request to generate bodhicitta before we listen to the teachings, to Patrul Rinpoche’s encouragement to generate the unsurpassable skillful means of the Mantrayana. She recounts Bob Reid’s talk on the three supreme methods: the supreme aspiration for the benefit of beings, the supreme view of trutal, the ineffable, luminous nature and the supreme dedication that all attain enlightenment at the end of any activity or practice, all of which are teachings on the ground, path and fruition. She describes how relative and ultimate bodhicitta are at the heart of all the pith instructions we receive at MSB, the thread that runs through all the teachings. She asks, “What is there other than resting in that genuine heart of enlightenment and how heartfelt is our wish?”
