Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche

This small volume is a record of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoches address given in Ireland in 2015 where he related an oral history of events in his own life as well as the formation of Mangala Shri Bhuti.

On the spiritual path we speak of enlightenment. But how do we reconcile the idea of enlightenment with what we see when we look in the mirror.

Our thoughts and emotions can take us anywhere. In an instant they can bring us down or lift us up. If we don’t attend to the mind, the source of all our thoughts and emotions, it can seem like a runaway train. Yet when guided by wisdom, our mind can lead us to awakening. How do we utilize this resource?

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