Emailing the Lamas from AfarAs two modern Lamas reply to the e-mailed questions of their students, an ancient spiritual tradition – the Buddhist vehicle of transformation and direct connection with the nature of mind – meets the nitty-gritty details of relationship, work, and family life. Rays of the SunRays of the Sun treats key Buddhist themes from the perspective of Dzogchen. These include the four noble truths, eightfold path, causality, compassion and refuge.
