Teachings:

Longchenpa's Trilogy on Comfort and Ease (April 5 - 14, 2010)
Longchenpa or Longchen Rabjampa (1308 - 1364) was a major teacher in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism and is commonly recognized as a manifestation of Manjushri. This teaching will be a continuation of Gangteng Tulku Rinpoch's elucidation of Longchenpa's Trilogy on Comfort and Ease, "a guide to enlightenment that begins with traditional reflections on the preciousness of human existence, finite in time but unlimited in opportunities." (Dr. H.V. Guenther)
