Description

The Eight Dreamlike Experiences of the Dharma 

The teaching of the “Eight Dreamlike Experiences of the Dharma” was composed in the 12th century by the Sakya master Jetsun Drakpa Gyaltsen, the third of the five founding masters of the Sakya tradition. Drakpa Gyaltsen was noted for giving short teachings expressing important points. The eight points covered in this text deal with topics such as the importance finding a space in our lives to meditate and study, letting go of attachment, turning away from disputes and diversions that might harm our practice and the correct understanding of the experiences of bliss and emptiness that occur in meditation.
