Gampopa's Number 20: The Ten Perfect Things (also translated as the ten correct qualities) from A Precious Garland of the Supreme Path, enriched with commentary from Mark van den Enden's Bringing Mind Into View.
In this episode, the hosts will fully explore how Gampopa breaks down the perfect approaches to practice based on a practitioner's capacity (lesser, medium, and sharp intelligence). They will unpack:
The Correct View: Trusting in karma (lesser), realizing the fourfold unity of appearance and emptiness (medium), and realizing the inseparability of the viewer, the viewed, and the realization (sharp).
The Correct Meditation: One-pointed concentration on a target like a deity (lesser), the four absorptions (medium), and resting in the non-dual state where the meditator, the object, and the meditation are inseparable (sharp).
The Correct Conduct: Guarding karmic actions like your own eyes (lesser), acting as though all phenomena are dreams and illusions (medium), and engaging in no conduct/non-action (sharp).
The Perfect Sign of Progress: For practitioners of all three capacities, the ultimate benchmark is that defilements and grasping at the self consistently decrease and subside.
