In mid-September we held a 10-day study group on Maitreya's Uttaratantra, based on DVD recordings of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's teachings on this classic Mahayana text. The subject of the teaching was not easy since it talked about ultimate truth, but Rinpoche was able to use various examples to bring it down to earth for us to understand.
The metaphors of the “glass and the dirt” and the “dead leaf” were great examples to illustrate the profound concepts of Mahayana. Rinpoche’s joyful expression and humour brought laughter to the group and made the teaching come to life. Participants from different levels who attended the class felt they were able to gain certain insight that would be beneficial in their lives.
