“Our minds are so skilled in all kinds of manipulative games. They’re not only good at making other people believe in your lie, but they’re also good in making you believe in your own lie. Isn’t that miraculous? That’s a real miracle. That’s really difficult. At some point, we totally believe, really believe, our own projections. Whatever they tell us, we begin to believe it.”
— Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche

“The Aspiration Prayer of Samantabhadra, one of the most famous and often-recited Dzogchen texts. Please join Nalandabodhi Seattle in observing the Summer Solstice, including the recitation of this is a uniquely profound prayer, reflecting the vast aspiration for awakening for the benefit of all beings.”
How do we bring an end to our discomfort, unease, and suffering? Please join Lama Rabten Tshering for a weekend exploration of the Noble Eightfold Path — the path to the cessation of suffering.
