In lesson three, Rinpoche teaches on the value of studying Buddhadharma to create the proper understanding and inspiration, which are necessary conditions for effective training on the path. A correct view of the unity of emptiness and compassion gives the necessary bearing for a successful practice.

Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche emphasizes developing a stable and regular meditation practice focusing on the qualities of renunciation, compassion, and a correct view of impermanence. Bringing the teachings into experience through meditation is what makes realization possible. Realizations cannot be transferred to someone else. But, through hearing the truth of suchness, liberation is attainable.

In this last lesson, Lama Alan delves deeper into how the four immeasurables relate to genuine well-being. He touches on Buddhaghosa’s teachings in The Path to Purification before exploring the characteristics and the near and far enemies of each of the four immeasurables.
