Two Truths, October 2014 - Bodh Gaya, India

“No matter how much we sit, no matter how much we are not distracted, no matter how much we meditate, until you have the right view, you have done nothing. Until you have the right view, those things take you nowhere. You are still inside the net, you are still the fish being caught.” 
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

In October 2014, during the Dzongsar Monlam, Rinpoche gave a lively teaching on the Two Truths and the Buddhist view of emptiness in Bodhgaya, India, the most sacred place to practice and listen to the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha.

The Two Truths teaching is three parts, in English with Chinese translation and Chinese/English subtitles.

“無論我們打坐多久，無論我們多麼不散亂，無論我們禪修多久，除非擁有正見，否則你都是一無所成。除非你擁有正見，否則這些不會帶給你任何成果。你仍然處於網中，仍舊是被捕獲的魚。”  —宗薩欽哲仁波切

2014年10月，在印度菩提伽耶這個佛陀證悟以及聽聞和修持釋迦牟尼佛教法的無上聖地，仁波切在宗薩祈願法會期間就“二諦”和佛教的空性見地做了生動的開示。“二諦”的教授分為三部分。開示語言為英語，有中文翻譯和中英文字幕。

[English only] Two Truths, October 2014 - Bodh Gaya, India - Part 1

Calling The Guru from Afar, 30 June - 1 July 2010, Menz, Germany

In his commentary on this important mindfulness teaching by the great nineteenth-century rimé (non-sectarian) master, Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche explains that guru devotion, or “calling to the guru” is a technique to attack our habit of self-cherishing. The text can be depressing as it clearly details all our negative habits, yet the most profound teachings are those that disturb rather than inspire us. We repeatedly call on the guru to recognize us because we do not see that the guru is always with us. We ask for the blessings of the guru to cut through our pride, ego-clinging and dualistic vision. Through supplicating the guru, our intellectual understanding of the dharma can develop into the confidence that ultimately the guru is none other than buddhanature: the fundamental nature of our mind.

[English only] Calling The Guru from Afar, 30 June - 1July 2010, Menz, Germany - Part 3

The Buddha is a revolutionary whose Four Noble Truths remain applicable today. Buddhists believe that nothing is perfect nor certain, that everything is illusory, and that all sentient beings are Buddha. The Buddhist view can liberate us from false assumptions in this age of identity politics and obsession with self-improvement. Ethical conduct in Buddhism has three categories: avoiding unwholesome actions, developing wholesome activities and benefitting others, but ultimately includes anything that takes us closer to the truth. Always remember that wisdom or truth is the driver of the car, compassion is in the passenger seat and ethics is at the back.
