Deepening your connection with Guru Rinpoche

 

Guru Rinpoche, the ‘Precious Master’, is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and the Buddha of our time. While Buddha Shakyamuni exemplifies the buddha principle, the most important element in the sutrayana path, Padmasambhava personifies the guru principle, the heart of Vajrayana Buddhism, and he is therefore known as the ‘second Buddha’.

This collection was created in order to help you deepen and inspire your practice of Guru Rinpoche. It brings together some of the most crucial practice advice, most moving teachings and essential practice materials.
