The essence of the Vajrayana teachings is “pure perception,” the recognition that we all possess an enlightened nature, or buddha nature, right here and now. The problem is that we don’t recognize that, which leads to perpetual dissatisfaction. In this special event, Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche will discuss how to take the “fruition as path,” meaning the fruit of enlightenment is already present, and we just need to begin to tap into this recognition. This is the path of self-liberation, where recognizing the true nature of reality allows us to become spontaneously free from suffering.

WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?

Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche is one of the most revered Buddhist teachers of our time. He reveals how the power of the Vajrayana path is not confined to the meditation cushion; its true value unfolds when you bring it into your everyday life. You can apply these teachings when you eat, during conversations, and in your relationships with others. By remembering that the wonderful nature of your mind is like the sky, you can allow thoughts and emotions to pass like clouds. When you begin to see everyone as possessing this enlightened nature, your habitual tendency of perceiving things as solid and real will begin to transform.
