On Guru Rinpoche Day, Phakchok Rinpoche shares the key point of all the practices and teachings: overcoming the four great obstacles, the four maras, namely, the mara of the aggregates, the mara of the Lord of Death, the mara of the afflictions, and the mara of the gods. Rinpoche then explains each one and advises us to study and contemplate them. Furthermore, Rinpoche explains the root of them all and how we can overcome them. Finally, Rinpoche mentions how his root guru Kyabjé Nyoshül Khen Rinpoche used to say Dharma means only one thing: transformation.

On this Guru Rinpoche Day, Phakchok Rinpoche explains the famous opening verse of Omniscient Gampopa’s “Jewel Ornament of Liberation,” as well as the key points we should understand as we read the verses; mainly, that all beings have the cause of Buddhahood within their being, but it is also important that they meet with the right conditions for this seed to bear fruits. Rinpoche further explains how to cultivate the right conditions for our transformation.
