  • LAM RIM TEACHINGS VOLUME I FOUNDATIONS of the PATH Thoroughly Revised Edition
    LAM RIM TEACHINGS VOLUME I FOUNDATIONS OF THE PATH thoroughly revised edition Gehlek Rimpoche teachings 1987 - 1991 Jewel Heart Transcripts 2005 Jewel Heart First edition 1993; revised 2005 © Ngawang Gehlek All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This is the transcription of the Lam Rim teachings given in the United States from 1987 up to 1991 by Ngawang Gehlek Rimpoche, the spiritual leader of the Jewel-Heart Centers in the United States, the Nether- lands, Malaysia and Singapore. It were the first two rounds of Lamrim Teachings given on a weekly basis, starting above the garage in Rimpoche’s first house in Ann Arbor, USA. Twice a guest teacher took part in the project: Dagyab Rimpoche taught on the bodhimind and Geshe Yeshi Thabkye on wisdom. We are very grateful to Rimpoche for being so kind not only to teach all this but to also allow the teachings to be put on tape and be transcribed. We are also grateful for the continuous recording of the teachings and the provision of the necessary material. This second edition is thoroughly revised: The teachings have been more edited: previously spread-out information has been put together, the lan- guage has been grammatically adjusted; clarifications are put between [ ]. Questions and answers during the teachings as well as some discussions have been put in a separate chapter. The notes and glosses are updated and extended. The list of literature has been updated. The index has been refined. The outlines have been revised, by which the Lamrim structure has become more clear. Illustrations are added. Encouraged by the late Allen Ginsberg the illustrations are drawn from the Ti- betan Buddhist tradition as well as from the Western cultural and spiritual heritage.
