Light Coming Through provides infinite opportunities for reflection on the expressive potential of our minds.

BY DZIGAR KONGTRUL RINPOCHE

This hardcover book is a compilation of edited transcripts of the complete 2002 Nyingma Summer Seminar.

Catalog of VDKR’s paintings from the October 2007 exhibition “Natural Vitality”, held in New York City at the Tibet House.

At the 2015 Modern Day Bodhisattva Seminar, Kongtrul Rinpoche gave detailed instructions on the practice of shamatha, which he encouraged all of his disciples to study carefully.

Compassion arises naturally when one comes to perceive the lack of solid distinction between self and other. The Buddhist practice is known as tonglen, in which one consciously exchanges self for other.

Faith is a thorny subject these days. Its negative expressions cause many to dismiss it out of hand, but Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel urges us to reconsider.

Life is uncertain. We never know what happens next. And yet, despite uncertainty, we continue to search for a place to rest.

Uncommon Happiness is Dzigar Kongtrul’s commentary on Shantideva’s eighth century text The Way of the Bodhisattva. It is also a testament to this brilliant teacher’s compassionate and compelling style.
