Event Details

Join us for Lhuntrul Dechen Gyurmey Rinpoche’s commentary and teachings on the succinct yet powerful text Letter to a Friend, written by Nagarjuna (1st – 2d Century A.D.).

How can we include the Buddha’s wisdom in our daily life ? We all would like to be calmer, more patient, spacious and compassionate when dealing with both the smaller and the bigger challenges that we face throughout the day.
The great Indian Master Nagarjuna  wrote down his heart advice to his most worldly friend, the King Gautamiputra. These timeless instructions are still of huge interest to those who wish to take up spiritual activity while continuing to live and work in society; they are meant to convey the whole meaning of the Buddha’s teachings to the lay person in a language and style that is easy to understand. The letter impresses upon the reader the importance and rarity of finding and pursuing the spiritual path, understanding the faults and consequences of delusion, and the virtues and benefits of both an ethical life and the ultimate aim of enlightenment. Through right action, equanimity, and insight, freedom is won.
Lhuntrul Rinpoche will use this text as the basis for guiding and advising us on our paths in these turbulent times. Rinpoche’s skillful teaching is appropriate likewise for those with or without experience of buddhist teachings and all are welcome!
