In this three-talk public program held at Shambhala Mountain Center in August 2007, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche introduces the three-yana path of Tibetan Buddhism and the Shambhala principles of tiger, lion, garuda, dragon, and the Great Eastern Sun. Topics include

• What is enlightenment?
• Three elements of the path: view, meditation, & activity
• How the practice of contemplation unravels the matrix of concept
• How the four maras obscure emptiness and luminosity
• How the virtues of contentment, compassion, equanimity, & selflessness build "inner sustainability" in daily life
• In addition, the Sakyong offers guided meditation in the practices of peaceful abidiing, contempation, and ground lungta (windhorse).
