Aspiration & Fearless Confidence - A Buddhist Perspective
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche was born in Bhutan and is a student of eminent Tibetan Buddhist lamas including Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Kyabje Sakya Trizin, Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, and the16th Karmapa, He is the head of the renowned Dzongsar Monastery and Dzongsar College.
Rinpoche oversees Siddhartha’s Intent in several continents as well as other secular and Buddhist non-profits including Buddhist schools, and has authored several books on following the Buddhist path in the contemporary world.
This talk will be based on “Banquet of Liberation: An Aspiration Prayer on the Stages of the Mahayana Path” by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. This prayer touches on the main elements of the path, beginning with the foundational thoughts that turn the mind towards the Dharma. Rinpoche's teaching on this poem will be accessible for those with a new interest in Buddhism and well as those who have been following teachings for many years.
You can find this short prayer, translated by Adam Kane, in the Khyentse Vision Project Reading Room:
