MORE DETAILS in CALENDAR
Composed by the charismatic, wandering master Dza Patrul Rinpoche (1808-1887) in a retreat cave in the Tibetan valley of Dzogchen, The Words of My Perfect Teacher is a quintessential introduction to the spiritual practices common to all Tibetan Buddhist schools, in a unique combination of exceptional profundity and colourful expression. Although it was written for practitioners of the Longchen Nyingthik in the Nyingma tradition, it is directly accessible to the western modern reader who wishes to follow an authentic path to liberation.
First presenting a series of preliminary contemplations on universal notions such as impermanence, karma, suffering and loving kindness, the book addresses then the initial practices of the Vajrayana, all the while emphasising the need for generating and developing compassion as the indispensable condition for achieving enlightenment.
It is this invaluable text which the present Patrul Rinpoche comments in a series of teachings, in his usual gentle and direct manner, enhanced with a wealth of advice drawn from his own experience and thorough understanding of the Dharma.
Rinpoche teaches in English, with translations being provided to Polish, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese and French.
The archives for previous teachings by Patrul Rinpoche on The Words of My Perfect Teacher are available here.
For upcoming teachings on the same text please see the CALENDAR.
More about VOLUNTEER WORK in Dharma City on the site.
The idea is to contribute work for the centre. It starts with a morning ngöndro , followed by some hours of work and time for study. Rinpoche is usually present during the courses so people have easy access to know him better and also have fun. Such an informal situation creates great openness between teacher and students. Volunteer work is invaluable for the centre and brings enormous benefit for all sentient beings.
