Ebook: The Eightfold Supreme Path of Mind Training

The Eightfold Supreme Path of Mind Training is a short, pithy practice guide compiled by Phakchok Rinpoche using as the framework eight short questions and answers between the great master Atisha and his three main students about the key points of Dharma and the path. The questions and answers are ornamented with quotes of the Buddha from the Dhammapada, where Buddha said very clearly, ‘Completely tame your mind—that is the Buddhadharma.’ Thus, the Mind Training teachings in which the key points of the vast and profound dharma are condensed into pithy instructions are something that all Buddhist practitioners, regardless of what level they may be, should constantly train in.


About the author

Phakchok Rinpoche is a premier example of a new generation of Tibetan Buddhist masters. He combines the most profound aspects of traditional wisdom teachings with his pithy, humorous observations of their ongoing relevance to the incredibly fast pace of modern urban life.

Born in 1981 to a family recognized for their generations of spiritual accomplishment, Rinpoche was recognized as the seventh Phakchok Rinpoche and the incarnation of a great teacher and meditation master. Receiving ordination from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Rinpoche received a thorough education and training in Buddhist philosophy and meditation, studying with some of the most accomplished masters of modern times, his main teachers being his grandfather Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche.

Rinpoche completed his education at the Dzongsar Institute of Advanced Buddhist Studies in Bir, India, where he received the Khenpo title. He is able to playfully combine the scholarly tradition of his studies with the experiential tradition of his main teachers in order to give his students the necessary tools to discover the wisdom and compassion that lies beneath our habitual ways of seeing ourselves and the world around us.

Now, Rinpoche travels the world, teaching in Buddhist centers, universities, and monasteries from Asia to the United States, from South America to Europe.
