Join Lama Alan Wallace in this two-part course exploring Yangthang Rinpoche’s Dzogchen pith instructions, A Summary of the View, Meditation, and Conduct
About This Course
During this two-part course, recorded originally at Colet House, London in 2017, Lama Alan Wallace will give an oral transmission and commentary to a core Dzogchen text composed by the late Yangthang Rinpoche, one of the great Dzogchen masters of recent times.
Drawing from his great learning and profound meditative experience, Yangthang Rinpoche composed the short meditation manual entitled A Summary of the View, Meditation, and Conduct, in which he presents the basic framework of the practice of the Great Perfection, regarded by many as the pinnacle of Tibetan Buddhism.
This text introduces techniques to investigate the mind in a radically empirical, rational way, which is both profoundly contemplative as well as rigorously scientific.
The Teacher

B. Alan Wallace is one of the world’s leading scholars, writers, and teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, and an outspoken advocate for a revolution in the mind sciences, one that will replace the current paradigm of materialist reductionism with a new paradigm based on contemplative methods of inquiry into the nature and potentials of the mind.
With more than 40 years of formal studies in the Indo-Tibetan tradition (including 14 years as a monastic) and prestigious degrees from Amherst College and Stanford, he is uniquely qualified to bridge the gap between modern science and the time-tested approaches to contemplative practice preserved by multiple lineages. A student of the Dalai Lama and many other renowned teachers, he authored and translated more than 40 books on the philosophy of consciousness, Tibetan Buddhism and applied contemplative practice.
