Teachings on the bodhisattva's way of life are among the most profound Buddhist teachings because they emphasize getting rid of our ego‐clinging. We have a tremendous history of ego‐clinging; we've been perpetuating the same habits over eons.

DZIGAR KONGTRUL RINPOCHE Raised in a monastic environment, Rinpoche received the teachings of the Nyingma lineage from his root teacher, H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Rinpoche also studied extensively under Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Nyöshul Khen Rinpoche, and Khenpo Rinchen. Rinpoche moved to the United States in 1989, taught Buddhist philosophy for five years at Naropa University, and founded Mangala Shri Bhuti, an organization for Buddhist studies and practice. He established a number of centers, including a mountain retreat center in southern Colorado,where he spends much of his time in retreat and guides his students in long‐term retreat practice. When not in retreat, he travels widely, teaching throughout the world, and has authored several books.
