Teaching by Do Tulku Rinpoche
Song of the Joyful Cuckoo: Verses on the Tenets
On 20 March, 2022, Do Tulku Rinpoche, taught on Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo’s Song of the Joyful Cuckoo: Verses on the Tenets from his Collected Works (Kabum).
In this short poem, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo skillfully introduces the distinct tenets of the four philosophical traditions, culminating with pith instructions on the tantric path. These inspiring verses guide readers, stanza by stanza, through the systems of increasing subtlety of Buddhist view and practice.
The text was translated into English by Khyentse Vision Project translator Christian Bernert.
