With utmost kindness to beings, the Buddha presented a vast body of Dharma teachings, with the purpose of freeing all beings from suffering and establishing them in genuine happiness. Although immense in extent, the entirety of the Buddha’s teachings, classified as the three pitakas or three baskets, the four classes of tantra, and so forth, may be encapsulated in a single phrase: “Tame the mind.”
In our source text for these teachings, “The Guru’s Instructions in a Single Utterance,” Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thayé provides pithy advice to his monastic disciple, Karma Pende, summarizing the essential points for taming the mind.
