OM YE DHARMA HETU-PRABHAVA HETUM TESHAM TATHAGATO HYAVADAT TESHAM CHA YO NIRODHA EVAM VADI MAHASHRAMANAH SVAHA

All dharmas originate from causes.
The Tathagata has taught these causes,
And also that which puts a stop to these causes—
This too has been taught by the Great Shramana.

Poison is Medicine, 3 August 2021, Halifax, Canada

Poison is medicine. That is magic. Medicine is poison is also magic. There is no ultimate poison nor ultimate medicine. And when we fall into the trap of seeing poison as poison only and medicine as medicine only, we deprive ourselves of this deep and vast magic. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche gives a very personal introduction to the nature of the tantric path for those who aspire to be Vajrayana students.

Rinpoche’s book “Poison is Medicine” was written to clarify misunderstandings about the Vajrayana path and is available for free download at: https://www.siddharthasintent.org/resources/features/poison-is-medicine/

Poison is Medicine, 3 August 2021, Halifax, Canada

Recorded at Open Secret Bookstore, San Rafael, CA; June 5, 2008
Language: Rinpoche teaches in English

Lama Tharchin Rinpoche teaches on Dudjom Lingpa's Green Tara prayer, “The Eightfold Profound Essence." 

“Green Tara embodies the activity of all buddhas. Her special quality is protection from the eight terrors (drolma jigpa gyay gyob). After his death, Dudjom Lingpa appeared to his son, Tersay Dorje Dradul, in a vision and gave him this Green Tara practice. It is extremely profound and powerful, yet very easy to practice and accumulate. It offers protection from all our fear and suffering, whether immediate or long-term. Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche always did this practice and very often gave it to his monastery and drubdra as well as to many other students, so I thought it would be very special for us to do.” - Lama Tharchin Rinpoche

The Good Eon, 5 March 2022, Online - Part 1

This sutra was initiated by Shakyamuni Buddha, at the end of a retreat in Vaishali. Present were monks, bodhisattvas, ghosts, nagas and rakshas: an audience of many different types of beings. Among them was a bodhisattva called Supreme Joy, who posed 17 questions concerning how a bodhisattva can help all sentient beings. These questions lead us outside the limits of conventional thinking, to consider what it means to have genuine compassion for the multiplicity of sentient beings. This eon is good because more than 1,000 Buddhas and more than 84,000 ways of accessing the truth will appear.

The Good Eon, 5 March 2022, Online - Part 1

In this modern world we are more interconnected than ever before, yet people seem to be more lonely than they were in the past. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche addresses this problem through a buddhist lens by asking the questions, “Who is lonely?” and “What is loneliness?” This leads to an analysis of the nature of the self, and the subjectivity of our perceptions. Finally, practical suggestions are made for how we can liberate ourselves from loneliness.

5 Minutes to Touch Base with Sanity amidst Uncertainty, 31st March - 4th April 2022, Online [廣東話翻譯]

Am I dead or am I dreaming? 👻  

Bardo teachings are commonly believed to be concerned with death but in fact encompass the whole of the Buddha’s teachings. The Tibetan word bardo refers to an intermediate state, between past and future, a crossing or a junction, in which a decision has to be made. This place of decision, this cognizance, is the bardo. This bardo is none other than our buddhanature, innately perfect, which the bardo practices lead us to uncover and reveal. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche explains the bardo states and their associated practices, drawing on commentaries by Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche and Tsele Natsok Rangdrol.

Bardo, 22-24 May 2022, Deer Park Institute - Part 1

The guru is so vast and infinite that to consider the guru solely as a teacher or guide is very limited. When we cherish the guru, we cherish the fact that we have a mind and the ability to be aware. This constant flow of awareness is the quintessential guru, but it needs to be revealed and nurtured by our immediate gurus and our lineage gurus. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was the emanation of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and the guru of many great teachers from different lineages. When we remember him on the anniversary of his parinirvana, we create the conditions to come closer to our innate guru.

Lapis Lazuli Light: Teachings for Health Professionals in Bhutan & Beyond, 2 August 2022, Online

When we talk about healing, we think about healing the body, but for buddhists mind is primary and body is secondary, so dealing with disorders of the mind is paramount. Buddhism has very progressive views on how to restore an ailing mind. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche responds to five questions posed by Bhutanese health professionals on the topic of Buddhism and healing. The lapis lazuli stone is blue, like the Medicine Buddha and the sky: the largest natural blue thing in our world. We see the sky above us; it is both there and not there. This space is one of the greatest metaphors in Buddhism to express emptiness or shunyata, and understanding emptiness heals everything.
