Traveling at the Speed of Mind

Book Talk and Dharma Teaching based on Travelling at the Speed of Mind by Ngakma Nor'dzin.

‘Travelling at the Speed of Mind’ explores the teachings illustrated by the Buddhist Wheel of Cyclic Existence. Each chapter is a conversation between Ngakma Nor'dzin, her husband Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin, and a student. The cycle of the 12 interdependent links; the qualities of the six realms of rebirth; the result of the recurring patterns of perception and response which are created by attraction, aversion or indifference; are all examined in detail. The text is illustrated with images taken from a commissioned Wheel of Life thangka. Ngakma Nor’dzin, an award winning author, presents a lively and insightful discussion, which leaves the reader in no doubt about the immediate need to address confusion, and the ever-present possibility of liberation.

Ngakma Nor’dzin is the author of four books: Spacious Passion, Relaxing into Meditation, Illusory Advice and Battlecry of Freedom. Spacious Passion offers a Tantric perspective on the sutric teaching of the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to Practice. Relaxing into Meditation teaches relaxation and breathing exercises as preparation for meditation, and then introduces the practice of Letting Go (shi-nè). Illusory Advice, co-authored with Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin, explores personal advice to students with regard to ordinary life and practice. Battlecry of Freedom is an in depth teaching of Lo-jong—Mind Training—as presented by Chekhawa Yeshé Dorje in the 12th century in The Seven Points of Mind Training.
