DZOGCHEN PONLOP RINPOCHE, 2024

In this teaching, Khandro Bhuma Kung Rinpoche humbly introduces herself as “a simple lady” sharing what she has learned from the great masters. Teaching from Shantideva’s Way of the Bodhisattva, she emphasizes that “the precious bodhicitta is the life force of Buddhism.” She reflects on the universality of suffering and happiness, how both arise from causes and conditions, and why the wish for freedom from suffering and the wish for happiness connect all beings together through interdependence.
