Stainless Prajna

Reading Transmission
with Mingyur Rinpoche

Join us for this rare event with Mingyur Rinpoche to receive the reading transmission of his new meditation manual!

November 26, 2024, 11 a.m.–12 p.m. EST (New York), 5–6 p.m. CET (Berlin); November 27, 2024, 12–1 a.m. HKT (Hong Kong)

You are warmly invited to attend the live reading transmission (Tib. lung) of Mingyur Rinpoche’s Stainless Prajna: Stages of Meditation on the Treasury of Abhidharma, his new meditation manual based on the ancient wisdom of the Abhidharma. Rinpoche himself will impart the transmission of this text, which he wrote during the COVID lockdown.

Transmission holds special importance in Vajrayana Buddhism and in Mingyur Rinpoche’s meditative tradition, as it ensures that teachings are passed down from teacher to student in an unbroken lineage, preserving their authenticity. A reading transmission, in particular, allows us to read and study a text having received the blessings of the lineage so that we might come to understand its most profound meaning.

Many texts have been written on the Abhidharma, which is widely studied across different schools of Buddhism. Rinpoche’s Stainless Prajna is unique and perhaps unprecedented because he extracts the practice instructions of this rich philosophical tradition to help bring it to life in our experience. On this rare occasion, we can be among the first to receive this transmission for Stainless Prajna.

This event is part of the Buddhist Psychology: Mind Explained year-long transmission.

During the pandemic, it was really difficult of course. Across the entire world, there were a lot of crises everywhere. I could not travel because we had this lockdown, so I was here at Tergar Osel Ling in Kathmandu. I began to practice, and I read all these ancient texts, and then I read Abhidharma books. Actually, I had not read them in over twenty years. . . . When I looked at the texts again, they became different. Everything became kind of experiential like they were talking to my heart.

The reason why I wrote this is because, especially nowadays, we have a lot of mental turbulence and emotional ups and downs. The whole purpose of this book is to alleviate suffering and [to help people] have lasting happiness.

— Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
