Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche read a preliminary translation of “The Xian Most Excellent Oceanic Mind-Essence” from the Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation (SAUMOL) at the New Renaissance Bookshop in Portland, Oregon this morning. This dharma is one of three great mind-essences from the SAUMOL that provides the preliminary practice for The Blessings, Longevity, and Wealth Accomplishment Dharma and part of the preliminary practice for The Ascending to the Stage of a Great Bodhisattva Accomplishment Dharma. The rinpoche also provided background on the SAUMOL and explained how the SAUMOL can be divided into seven types of dharma practice that can be done at different levels and is available at various levels including those who do not have a guru and non-Buddhists.
