Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche to expound on Nagarjuna's Letter to a King
Nagajuna's advice to the king
This workshop is intended to benefit a larger audience as its messages are down to earth and applicable is daily life. In the original text, Acharya Nagarjuna explains to his close friend, a king of South India, on how to practice the path of Bodhisattvas while ruling the kingdom. The message is highly applicable in today's world as it teaches how to live a spiritual and ethical life while taking care of worldly responsibilities
Nagarjuna is well known as the expounder of Madhyamaka philosophy and for his crisp and razor-sharp reasoning. The foremost of his works is mula-madhyamaka-karika in which he establishes the philosophy of the Middle Way and shatters all concepts and views. Karika is a highly intellectual work full of logic and reasoning. In contrast, Suhrlekha shows another aspect of Nagarjuna as he turns out to be a spiritual mentor giving practical advice on how to engage with dharma in daily life and how to take small steps at a time towards the final goal of Buddhahood. Here, he speaks on down to earth matters of living, in a simple language. The text is full of practical points and metaphors on how to lead a meaningful life and to be engaged in the path of wisdom and compassion.
Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche (Khenpo Guru) is a distinguished master of the Nyingma tradition of Buddhism, and one of the three Khenchens (senior abbots) overseeing the education at Ngagyur Nyingma Institute of Namdroling Monastery in Bylakkuppe.
