Nearly all eastern philosophies believe the world is a super-sized illusion, a simulation that we're all a part of. And recognizing the true nature of Samsara or the material world automatically brings about a sense of disillusionment, which in turn leads to renunciation, an important milestone when it comes to spiritual development. The next step is towards enlightenment—the ultimate spiritual goal—to develop the renounced mind. In this thought-provoking guide, Geshe Rabten enumerates the many ways in which one can develop and strengthen the mind further towards attaining enlightenment. The Twelve Links is the transcript of Geshe Rabten's lecture at the Tushita Mahayana Meditation Centre in New Delhi, a detailed guide that can help one make further progress on their spiritual journey.
