Rinpoche on Identity
Suddenly a lot of people, and I think this is a good thing, are realizing how fragile we are. Along with that, one inevitable challenge that we are going to face is the identity crisis.
Rinpoche on Modernity
We’ve so enjoyed being able to connect with our sangha and friends through some recent online events, and we’re pleased to bring you highlights of those meetings.

Buddhadharma Is the Only Way
In this year of unusual difficulty and change, Rinpoche spoke confidently about what the foundation can do to support people in this time of uncertainty and volatility.

The foundation now works with more than 40 universities around the world, and most of them are in “new” Buddhist countries, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and many places in Europe.
