Shedra 2021: The Sword of Wisdom (Year 2) – Study Set

Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche taught on Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche’s Sword of Wisdom, translated by Ann Helm during Mangala Shri Bhuti’s Shedra.  For those who are new to Buddhist philosophy, this creates a fresh opportunity to jump into the rich analytical tradition that goes hand-in-hand with our practice lineage. While the subject matter of the Shedra has a reputation for difficult logical arguments, the truth is the more one studies them, the more they unlock and provide tremendous support to our understanding of the path.

“I am delighted with this translation of Mipham Rinpoche’s Sword of Wisdom. Personally, this text has helped me so much in understanding the system of basic logic and reasoning that elucidates the profound meaning of the two truths. It is a true gem for beginners and learned alike. Time and time again, it can serve as an invaluable resource to refine and deepen one’s knowledge of all schools of the Buddhadharma.”

— Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, in preface from  Mipham’s Sword of Wisdom
