This Event is a Public Talk

ìWe begin the spiritual path by cultivating a strong mind wishing to achieve enlightenment for the sake of others; that mind is bodhicitta. Without it – all meditation practices are futile; with it- the eventual attainment of enlightenment is certain. The only way to develop loving-kindness, compassion, and bodhicitta is through deep concern for sentient beings; if they did not exist, love would remain a mystery. Thus, it is clear that oneís own enlightenment depends on other sentient beings; without them to cherish, one can make no progress on the path.î


– Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche


After an absence of almost five years, Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche will be returning to his students in Tucson. It is very rare to meet a Lama with such extensive training in Buddhist philosophy and such profound meditation experience. In addition, Rinpoche’s complete fluency in English makes him exceptionally capable of communicating the profound meaning of the teachings.
