Parting from the Four Attachments | Venerable Sean Price

About this programme
Sachen Kunga Nyingpo (1092–1158) was the first of the Five Venerable Supreme Sakya Masters of Tibet, and the 3rd Sakya Trizin, the title given to the head of the Sakya lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

At the age of twelve, Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, under the guidance of his guru, entered into retreat and meditated on Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom. After meditating for six months, Manjushri appeared to him and imparted a teaching encapsulated in four of the most beloved lines in the Tibetan scriptural canon:

• If attached to this life, you are not a dharma practitioner;

• If attached to the three realms, you have no renunciation;

• If attached to your own self-interest, you have no bodhicitta;

If there is grasping, you do not have the view.

We feel incredibly fortunate that Venerable Sean Price will return to Jamyang to help us uncover the profound meaning of this deceptively simple verse.
