Advice on the Path: Special Two-day Teaching with Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche

A special two-day teaching event with Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche, one of our principal advisors, whose guidance and blessings have been essential in shaping Khyentse Vision Project since its inception.

With characteristic humility and directness, he offers both a gentle rebuke and a powerful inspiration to cultivate devotion and diligence.
