“Happiness from Dzogchen Perspective”
This talk is part of the conference on “Happiness and Spirituality”
Room 105, Chulalongkorn, Chulalongkorn University
Dzogchen teaches us to be free from self-clinging and dualistic views. It helps us see things the way they are, without fabrication or conceptualization. This kind of attitude leads to the innermost level of happiness. Held at Chumpot-Pantip Conference Room, 4th Floor, Prachadipok-Rambaibarni Building. It is located near the Faculty of Economics.

About the Speaker:
Ven. Latri Khenpo Geshe Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche has established numerous Dharma centers in the Yungtrung Bön lineage in countries such as the US, Poland, Russia, and Belarus. He is the abbot of the Latri Monastery in Tibet. Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche grew up among the Tibetan exile community in Nepal. He is the son of a famous lama from eastern Tibet. In his youth he spent his life as do most other Tibetan boys in the exile community, and when he grew up he became ordained as a monk at Menri Monastery in India under the tutelage of the 33rd Abbot of the Monastery there. He stayed there until he graduated with the highest monastic degree of “Geshe”, which is equivalent to the Ph.D. in western universities. Rinpoche has a keen interest in preserving the ancient Tibetan wisdom, and has set up the “Bon Children House” in India to help Tibetan children in exile. He has been invited to give teachings to many places around the world, and he has been invited by the Thousand Stars Foundation to Thailand many times already. Among the topics he is usually invited to teach are Dzogchen, Tibetan art of Healing, Mind Training, Dakini Training, as well as practice of the Medicine Buddha. Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche is a leading spiritual master in the world today. His book, Opening the Door to Bön, has been translated into many languages.
