Riding Stormy Waves

The Heart Wisdom series aims to make the teachings of Ringu Tulku Rinpoche available to a wider audience, by bringing his oral teachings to the written page.

This volume is a commentary by Ringu Tulku on a text by the great 19th Century Tibetan Lama and teacher, Patrul Rinpoche, called ''Victory over the Maras.'' It looks at what the maras are: all the obstacles, hindrances and set-backs that occur in our lives. They are listed and described - including the ''Secret'' and even ''Top Secret'' maras!

Once we understand how to view the difficult things that happen in our life, specific antidotes and remedies are given to help us clear them, so we can move on, unhindered. The ultimate remedy is to understand, experientially, the wisdom of how things really exist, the wisdom of emptiness.
