Thimphu
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
A candid Q&A between Rinpoche and Touching the Earth on the meaning of “touching base”.
Nepal is a magical land with a very strong cultural connection to the Buddhadharma. Many stories are told about the activities of buddhas and bodhisattvas, and the landscape itself is highly symbolic: Kathmandu is said to be planned by Manjushri and its amazing crafts to be manifestations of his activity.
Culture is so important, but all cultures hijack the Buddhadharma with their own interpretations of what is in essence so simple: awakening to the truth. We need to be mindful about culture, yet we need these symbols and legends to communicate about the Buddhadharma.
