From Calvin Klein to Coca-Cola, our whole culture teaches us to grasp and fixate. This message is the exact opposite message we get from the fourth benchmark which warns that if we grasp, the view is lost. But in the modern world, if you do not have grasping, you could end up poor and jobless; you could end up an outcast of society. Given this seeming conflict of interests, we need to come to terms with why it matters that grasping is antithetical to the view.
From Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche’s commentary on Sachen Kunga Nyingpo’s Lojong Shenpa Shidrel: The Mind-Training of Parting from the Four Attachments.
The commentary was given at the International Buddhist Academy, Nepal in 2009.
Rinpoche’s new book, Poison is Medicine, was written in response to the misunderstandings and misapprehensions about the Vajrayana that were exposed by the Vajrayana guru-related scandals of the 2010s.

Not for Happiness
Do you practise meditation because you want to feel good? Or to help you relax and be “happy”? Then frankly, according to Rinpoche, you are far better off having a full-body massage than trying to practise the Dharma.
What Makes You Not a Buddhist
With wit and irony, Rinpoche urges readers to move beyond the superficial trappings of Buddhism, beyond a romance with beads, incense, and exotic people in robes, straight to the heart of what the Buddha taught.
