Nechung Choktrul Rinpoche is giving a weekly commentary on “Words of My Perfect Teacher” (Tibetan: Kun-zang La-may Zhal-lung) by Paltrul Rinpoche. The classes are Saturdays over Zoom at 5:30 pm Hawai’i time, sessions are approximately 1 & 1/2 to 2 & 1/2 hours. Recorded versions of the classes are available for those who wish to participate asynchronously. Considering the length of the book and Rinpoche’s thorough teaching style, as well as the need for occasional breaks, we expect this entire course to span three years, possibly longer. We are currently on the fourth chapter of Part I on the Cause & Effect of Karma and are no longer accepting new students.
