The Eight Dreamlike Experiences of the Dharma was composed in the 12th century by Jetsun Drakpa Gyaltsen, one of the five revered masters of the Sakya tradition. Renowned for his concise yet profound teachings, Drakpa Gyaltsen distills essential advice into eight key reflections. This text addresses core aspects of spiritual life—such as making time for meditation and study, releasing attachment, avoiding conflict and distraction, and developing a clear understanding of meditative experiences like bliss and emptiness. Though brief, the teaching offers timeless guidance for deepening our practice in the midst of everyday life.
