For all who want to train on the Bodhisattva path,
I have written The Thirty – Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas,

For all who want to train on the Mahayana
I have taught Nagarjuna´s letter to a friend……
Following what has been said by the excellent ones
On the meaning of the sutras, tantras and treatises.
These could be the words of Mr. Narayan Prasad Rijal, who has given all his time, loving -kindness, compassion and patience to us, a group of around ten people from various countries, in October 2010 in Deerpark , Bir.
Some of us like myself, have attend his teachings for the second time.
Again I experienced his immense generosity in sharing all his knowledge about Hinduism and Buddhism. The way he has chosen to share his wisdom with us, shows his great expertise in many fields. He taught in a way which suited the different dispositions, interests and capacities of the participants. He possesses great communication skills, never got upset with our repeated questions. His speech was pleasant and always cheerful, even if the content and the meaning were hard to digest.
In the break too, he gave all his time and love to explain and share whatever knowledge he possesses, always encouraging us to train on the path…..taking our time to understand….not to be discouraged by setbacks…..
He left us behind with great pleasure, enough things to think and meditate about and the wish, to meet him again and get more teachings from him.
He is a great master, a genuine teacher.
Thanks a lot.
