Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche: "Emotional Rescue"

In this talk, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche (www.dpr.info) will discuss his forthcoming book Emotional Rescue and Buddhist perspectives on working with emotions.  It is only by learning to relate to our emotions skillfully that we benefit from their richness and glean wisdom, rather than letting them control us. Emotions get their power from a simple but deep-seated source: our lack of self-knowledge. When we bring awareness to our experience of emotions, something truly amazing happens—they lose their power to make us miserable. 

Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche is a widely celebrated Buddhist teacher and the author of Rebel Buddha: A Guide to a Revolution of Mind. A lover of music, art and urban culture, Rinpoche is a poet, photographer, accomplished calligrapher and visual artist, as well as a prolific author. Rinpoche is founder and president of Nalandabodhi, an international network of Buddhist centers and a lineage holder of the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
