Chatral rinpoche biography of martin luther king

I received this guest post from someone who was at Dzongsar Khyentse’s second London talk. It’s well written and engaging, so I hope you enjoy it. At the end I’ve also posted a vlog that sums up my feelings at the end of DJKR’s 2018 European tour – Tahlia.

The jewel-like teaching of insight is fading day by day.1 I am a credulous and helpless animal Who has been fooled by the mirage of duality. ... So now you, my father are my only refuge; You alone can grasp the buddha state. The glorious copper-colored mountain is within my heart. Is not this pure and all-pervading naked mind your dwelling place? Although I live in the slime and muck of the dark age, I still aspire to see it. Although I stumble in the thick, black fog of materialism, I still aspire to see it.2 It is most common nowadays in public political discourse to speak of the United States as a global object of desire. “Everyone” wants to come to the United States, to become American, or to wield the military influence that has been the sole purview of the United States in the post–Cold War era, we are told.
