Teachings by Khenpo Sodargye.A comprehensive explanation of His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok's Guru Yoga practice. Khenpo emphasized avoiding "dry understanding" - spiritual practice must be nourished by bodhicitta and faith. He explained the visualization methods from both the Sutrayana approach of prayer and the Vajrayana methods of generation and completion stages, with particular focus on the profound meaning of the three kayas of the guru: dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, and nirmanakaya, pointing to the essential teaching that "one's own mind is Buddha." He addressed the common confusion among disciples: "Since I never met His Holiness personally, does this create distance and diminish the blessing power?"
