Teaching on Kamalashila's treatises outlining the stages of meditation, Thrangu Rinpoche explains the need for compassion and the way to develop it, the necessity for a bodhisattva's vast and durable altruism, as well as the means to generate, stabilize, and fortify it and the elements key to the meditative practices of calm abiding and insight. An engaging element of \u003ci\u003eEssential Practice\u003c\/i\u003e is the lively interaction of Thrangu Rinpoche with students and members of the faculty of Naropa University as he unfolds the text for them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith exceptional generosity, Thrangu Rinpoche took delight in fielding basic and knotty questions that were put to him by relative newcomers and relatively seasoned practitioner\/scholars.
