Teachings from The Book of Kadam part 2, Class 4
Once again, Khen Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering, abbot of Sera Mey monastery, gives a series of classes on a reading from The Book of Kadam, also known as The Miraculous Book of Kadam, attributed to Lama Atisha and Geshe Dromtönpa. This time he comments on Chapter 6 of The Jewel Garland of Dialogues: How All Blame Lies in a Single Point.
As usual, Geshe Tashi’s style is part scholarly - he brings an exceptional depth of knowledge, experience and wisdom to the material; and a large part down to earth - how we can best apply these teachings to our everyday lives.
In Class 4, Geshe la again begins with a very helpful recap. What is self-grasping? On what basis does self-grasping arise? How does self-grasping hold on, what does it hold on to? He encourages us to keeping looking out for ourselves, to look carefully whenever we do the equivalent of stub our toe, or stand on the edge of a high place, whatever that “cliff edge” might be for us.
We are a self, we do exist, he says. It is because of our selfhood that we can express love and compassion. Geshe la then takes us straight to the highest understanding of self according to Madhyamaka Prasangika, explaining what the “mere” is in the “mere I”?
Elaborating on the last class, Geshe la cites Master Vasubhandu to explain why Lord Buddha often began his teachings on self by going through the five (or six) sense objects. It is because in this desire realm we are so caught up in them. We either want to attract them or reject them. So if we want to make a fundamental change, he says, this is where we must start.
As for the mind, the sixth sense consciousness, Lama Atisha explains that “fabrications of conceptualisation can appear too”. To see reality as it is, Geshe la says, the main obstacle is our conceptual mind.
When Lama Atisha admonishes Geshe Dromtunpa: “So you should not add meaningless branches and leaves [onto a non-existent tree]”, what is this non-existent tree? Geshe la explains that it is the conceptual thought, the belief, that the “I” exists in its own right.
During the Q&A session at the end of the weekend, Geshe la left us with the happy prospect of another series of classes in 2024, this time on recalling the Three Jewels.
Until then, your Admin Team would like to wish you a very 2024!
Thank you for your attendance, thank you for your generosity, thank you all!
With best wishes,

Or.....The distorted or delusional mind that makes a lot of trouble and noise is like the dog barking simply because the dog's bowl is empty of food? Anil Sharma UK
Hi Geshe la, do I understand correctly when I say that "the self-grasping mind is like a dog's empty bowl and exaggerates (barking) qualities on to the OBJECT of the self-grasping mind and the exaggerated qualities do not exist?" It is the exaggeration which causes the individual the problems of craving and aversion? Anil Sharma UK. My main question is "is the self-grasping or craving of the object of self grasping like a dog's empty bowl?"
Thank you, Geshe la xx.

Thank you Geshe La. 🙏
blimey!
thoughts are with you all right now, please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
oral transmission. brilliant. haha!
Greetings from London Geshe. And stay with us as we stay with you (while Samsara lasts, at least!)
What a great teaching, thank you 🙏. Feel so lucky to be given the opportunity to listen and learn like this, in the comfort of home and on the sofa 😊, very much appreciated.. 🌻🌸🌼🌺🌿🌷🍁🍂
Loved listening to this verse 8, will listen to it along with 6 and 7, again and again. Thank you 🙏 🌸🌿🌼🌿🌺
Thank you Geshela...these teachings are extremely helpful...and may you have good sleep with your earplugs! <3
I believe that wanting is a symptom of needing something that is very important, like Love and a deep felt sense safety. I also believe that this kind of need or lack of Love and sense of safety is far to prevalent in our world of Samsara - this leading to wanting.. Hope I haven’t got something wrong here..
Thank you Geshe la very powerful message
really valuing these recordings, thank you again.
Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful text with us.
Thank you so much for posting these! A bit of sanity in these crazy times.
this reminds me of the amazing Captain Tom who's so far raised £13 million for the NHS. Really helpful talk once again, thank you.
Once again thank you very much Geshe La
got goosebumps right now, I not only had that same book in the past (not sure if I actually read it though!) but the section you discuss is similar to what I have been reading this weekend in Jeffrey Hopkins book 'Cultivating Compassion' - the first Buddhism book I have picked up for a while. What I am coming across and hearing this weekend is something I am needing to hear right now and I think I now know what I need to do to help resolve a conflict I am having with someone.....and also seeing just how much I have been needing to tap into this stuff again. Thank you for this video Geshe Tashi :-)
