Bhadra with his root teacher Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche near Bodh Gaya, India |
Preliminary practice tames the mind, subdues pride, eliminates guilt, and heals us through the blessings of Buddha's wisdom power, thereby removing obstacles on the path to Enlightenment. A wide-ranging discussion with Bhadra and other students of Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche will follow the teachings. Please bring your life questions.
