Idea Images: A Gift of Liberation 44: The Spark of Joy (2024, Kyoto)

Here is a collection of Idea Images (Idims) which represent all the important ideas of the final final course on our 14 year journey through the Steps on the Path and the profound teachings of Pabongka Rinpoche’s Gift of Liberation Thrust into the Palm of Your Hand. It’s a great tool to connect the image mentally with the important idea. There’s a tradition in this lineage that when you learn a topic you review it at least two times after the class. Preferably once on the day of the class and preferably once the next day or two days later. As Geshe Michael pointed out in this course:

I personally think it’s a great idea to do your traditional lineage required review by just looking at the pictures. Personally I make myself breakfast and I set the images down on the table and I slop food into my mouth, and I drink my coffee and try to remember what was this picture about. And for me it’s a very pleasant breakfast. It’s kind of like a Dharma breakfast.”

Please Note: To make this an even more powerful study tool we linked each image to the exact time in the video where Geshe Michael explains the important idea. You can just click on each Idim and it will open the video at the precise location.
