Lama Tharchin Rinpoche teaches on the practice of Guru Yoga in the Vajrayana. Rinpoche says, "The point of guru yoga is to train in merging our mind with our lama's wisdom mind and to have those qualities of wisdom and compassion that we glimpse within our lama's mind inhabit our own mind." In these Open Secret teachings, Rinpoche guides us in using guru yoga meditation on Guru Rinpoche to awaken the uncontrived, uncontaminated, primordial state of enlightenment that is our own natural, indwelling, primordial state of being.

Thank you to Sheppard Powell for requesting and recording the teaching.
