9780962802614 - Transcending Ego: Distinguishing Consciousness from Wisdom of Rangjung Dorje, The Third Karmapa
commentary by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche
translated by Peter Roberts

Distinguishing Consciousness from Wisdom is a translation of the root verses of the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje, accompanied by a line-by-line commentary by Thrangu Rinpoche, the foremost scholar of this tradition.

Rinpoche with his vast experience in mediation explains how the eight consciousnesses function and how they are transformed into the five wisdoms at enlightenment.

"An illuminating text which provides the 'missing link' between Yogacara philosophy and Mahamudra practice, demonstrating how we might transform our confusion and emotional obscurations into wisdom. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche has lucidly and generously provided a commentary which will deepen your understanding and enliven your practice. A must for all practitioners of Vajrayana!"
