Maitreya's
"Distinguishing the Middle from Extremes"

Based on the Commentary by Mipham Rinpoche

Teacher:
Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgial
English Translator: Jim Scott

One of the five treatises of Maitreya, the text explains the common way of the three yanas on how to become completely liberated from the afflicted mind and achieve complete refinement or Buddhahood. It is based on the view of both the Middle Way and the Cittamatrin schools. The four chapters of the treatise explains the characteristics of both affliction and refinement; the recognition and the way to eliminate obscurations; the wisdom that realizes suchness; and the particular path of the unsurpassable Mahayana which leads to the state of complete Buddhahood.

We apologise for late the information about the change in the subject of the main teaching in the 2006 Rigpe Dorje program at Pullahari Monastery. Click Here! for a concise summary of the new subject of the 2006 teachings by Maitreya on "Distinguishing the Middle from the Extremes" and its relation to the Abhidharma, the original subject of the 2006 teachings by Vasubhandu.
