This course first completes chapter 6 on prajñā, specifically the sections on the refutation of a self of persons and the presentation of the sixteen emptiness. Then we will complete the rest of the text that is on bhūmis 7-10, namely, the perfections of skillful means, aspirations, power, and wisdom, the latter of which includes a presentation of the three kāyas and the state of Buddhahood.
This course is based on the recordings and transcripts of the oral teachings of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche on the root text of Chandrakīrti’s Madhyamakāvatāra in 1999 and 2000, using the commentary by the Eight Karmapa, Mikyö Dorje (1507-1554).
