RECOGNIZING MY MOTHER – An Experiential Song on the View
This text was composed by the great 18th century Tibetan master Changkya Rölpai Dorjé. It is often referred to by His Holiness the Dalai Lama who has previously taught it online. His Holiness last taught it earlier this year at the request of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. The view we are speaking of in the title is dependent arising, and the mother is emptiness.
If you would like to learn more prior to this teaching, watch this video edited with subtitles by Ven.Yönten, of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s teaching on this subject. You may find it online at:

ABOUT KYABJE JHADO RINPOCHE
Jhado Rinpoche (Tenzin Jungne) was born in 1954 to a nomadic family living in the area of Namtso Lake, 220 kilometers north of Lhasa, Tibet. At the age of three he was recognized and enthroned as the 6th incarnation of the abbot of Jhado Monastery.
From 1992 until 1996, Rinpoche served as a teacher at Namgyal Monastery in Dharamsala, the personal monastery of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In 1997, Rinpoche was appointed to the post of Abbot of Namgyal Monastery, and served the institution in that capacity until 2004.
Rinpoche is one of the most highly esteemed lamas in the Geluk lineage today. In addition to his excellent education in the Geluk monastic college system, over the years Rinpoche has also received many oral transmissions and empowerments from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his two main tutors, as well as from many great teachers from other traditions, including the famous Nyingma master Trulshik Rinpoche and Chogye Trichen Rinpoche.
Renowned for his keen intelligence and dynamic teaching style, Jhado Rinpoche is also highly acclaimed for his ability to engage Western students in ways that are interesting and personally relevant. In addition to these qualities, Rinpoche is also well known and loved for his gentle demeanor and his kindness.
