As The Way of the Great Perfection concludes teachings on refuge and turns towards bodhichitta, Rinpoche has kindly offered to teach on these two practices: refuge, the foundation of all paths to enlightenment; and bodhichitta, opening up to the heart of the enlightened mind. Rinpoche’s inimitable style of teaching, uncompromising integrity and sharp wisdom will surely enrich our understanding of these practices and we very much look forward to connecting with you for this exceptional event.
