Descriptionངོ་སྤྲོད།

Here is [an excerpt from ] Part 7: Accumulation of Merit and Wisdom from a Teaching on Green Tara Practice by Gyalwa Dokhampa in Hongkong in 2018.

In this video, Gyalwa Dokhampa talks about getting to enlightenment from having the heart of enlightenment. The teaching in this video helps to find answers to – why do we need to accumulate merit and wisdom, and how can we do that? How these two accumulations are intertwined? How these two accumulations are practiced differently in Mahayana and Vajrayana? How the different levels of vows are designed to avoid harming other beings and benefitting others? The teaching briefly touches on the meaning of the heart sutra - "Form is emptiness and emptiness is form," which is the heart of Vajrayana practice, the realization one reaches at enlightenment.
