Our communities are often polarized and we experience hardened fronts in different areas of life.
We find ourselves today more divided than ever, our communities torn apart by strongly polarized views in all areas of life. This polarisation is evident in views around the current pandemic that is afflicting the world, with some favouring personal restrictions to contain the pandemic and others favouring the basic right to individual freedom.
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche will explore how the Buddhist teaching of the Two Truths — the relative truth of how things appear and the absolute truth of how things really are — can help us to loosen our strong points of view and give us more perspective. He will emphasize in particular how these Two Truths relate to our everyday life and experience.
On behalf of Dharma Mati and Rigpa, we are delighted to welcome Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche to share his insights with us through this online teaching.
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche will teach in English and will be translated into German by Arne Schelling.
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche is a highly respected Buddhist teacher and author of ‘Emotional Rescue’, ‘Rebel Buddha’, and a number of other books. A lover of music, art, and urban culture, Rinpoche is also a poet, photographer, accomplished calligrapher, and visual artist.
Acknowledged as one of the foremost scholars and meditation masters of his generation in the Nyingma and Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism, Rinpoche is known for his sharp intellect, humour, and easy-going teaching style. In 2017, he launched the initiative #GoKind to celebrate and encourage acts of kindness around the world.
