The founding patriarch of the Sakya Tradition, Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, received the teaching known as 'The Parting From The Four Attachments' which brought him to a very profound understanding of the path to enlightenment. The teaching itself was only one verse of four lines, but its meaning included the entire path leading to Buddhahood. Presented in this small book are four commentaries on this teaching, and a prayer to the lineage of teachers through whom it has passed down until the present day.
