Lesson 25

The Sutra of Great Liberation L25 25

Have you ever felt as though certain wisdom was already etched into your soul, awaiting a single spark of awakening to trigger a profound sense of "destiny"? In Lesson 25 of the Sūtra of Great Liberation, Khenpo Sodargye explores that sublime joy—akin to a "reunion across lifetimes." In this session, you will discover that the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation is not merely physical health, but the forging of an indestructible Right View. With masterful clarity, Khenpo deconstructs the root of spiritual desolation in the modern world. Through the journey of listening, contemplating, and integrating, one eventually transcends the ego to encounter the true self within the wisdom of selflessness.

Teachings by Khenpo Sodargye.The Sutra of Great Liberation is a profound scripture taught by the Buddha near the time of his parinirvana. It is treasured in nearly every Tibetan household, where it is commonly recited for 49 days to help the deceased attain liberation. The sutra is filled with the sacred names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and merely hearing or reciting them brings inconceivable merit. Khenpo Sodargye was deeply moved since childhood by witnessing a kind elderly man devotedly reciting this sutra daily, thus forming a profound connection with it. Through confession and practice of this sutra, one can purify negative karma and attain Buddhahood—it is truly an extraordinary path to liberation.
