Video Teaching Description

In this teaching, originally held in Singapore, Phakchok Rinpoche discusses the 8 points of advice from the great Khenpo Shantarakshita. This teaching follows on from Rinpoche’s previous teaching on the Dharma advice of King Tri Songdetsen (also available to Vajrayana Members). Rinpoche goes on to discuss the royal patronage of the Tri Songdetsen, the work of great Panditas like Vimalamitra, the profound instructions and teachings of Guru Rinpoche, and the work of the Dakini Yeshe Tsogyel in concealing the precious Terma teachings for our own age. In this way, the legacy of Guru Rinpoche continues to this day.
