A Little Inner Smile
Once you have the view, although the delusory perceptions of samsara may arise in your mind, you will be like the sky; when a rainbow appears in front of it, it’s not particularly flattered, and when the clouds appear, it’s not particularly disappointed either. There is a deep sense of contentment. You chuckle from inside as you see the facade of samsara and nirvana; the view will keep you constantly amused, with a little inner smile bubbling away all the time.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
“We can free ourselves from any kind of suffering if we understand the true nature of mind.”

Message from Patrul Rinpoche
Written by Patrul Rinpoche, 28 October 2012 – Letter About the Winter Retreat 2012
If you ask me what I am currently concerned about, I would say that I am deeply concerned about the teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha’s teachings are very, very important for everybody. They are useful not only for us, but beneficial and very important for all sentient beings.
The Black Guru Rinpoche Statues Project
The black diamond-carved Guru Rinpoche statues, which contain iron beads, relics and scriptures, can last for hundreds of years in outdoor environment. According to Guru Rinpoche’s prediction, they can be placed on mountains, rivers or caves, in lakes or in the ocean around the world to suppress and resolve various disasters and wars, liberating all sentient beings in the six realms into Buddhahood.
