When we enter the Buddhist path, however, the teachings can often appear to be quite complex. Here, therefore, I have brought all the teachings together in a clear and complete structure, so that everyone can follow and study them, in the most accessible way possible.” — Sogyal RinpocheEach year, more than 15,000 people attend Sogyal Rinpoche’s teachings either on a retreat, or weekend course, while more than 4,000 students follow course programs at Rigpa centers worldwide.Through these study materials, all of us, whatever our circumstance, can have greater access to the teachings and an opportunity to study them in a structured way.This study pack is for each and every one of us who has been touched and benefited by Sogyal Rinpoche’s teachings.
