Four Teachings by Thrangu Rinpoche (PDF)

Thrangu Rinpoche, an eminent Buddhist teacher, has written over 40 books on Buddhism and is known for taking complex subjects and making them easily understandable to his students.

In this book we have collected four complete teachings by Rinpoche to help his students completely understand some important Buddhist concepts.

These are:

The Twelve Links help us understand how each outside perception and each internal thought and feeling leads us to either a positive or a negative outcome.
The Eight Consciousnesses are basically a description of Buddhist. psychology showing exactly how outside perceptions and internal thoughts are processed by the mind. This is not only valuable for dealing with our disturbing emotions (kleshas), but also for dealing with our discursive thoughts in meditation.
The Five Buddha Families is an explanation of the basic energies in Buddhism, often called deities. The Amitabha buddha family, for example, is the best known for its involvement in the process of gaining a positive rebirth.

The Ten Virtuous Actions Rinpoche explains in detail the four conditions which lead us towards negative or positive karma.

 This book of 117 pages includes pictures, charts, appendices, glossary, bibliography, and index and is a collection of all his smaller booklets in one place.
