I am hoping that the moderators won't just stuff this away into the Sakya subforum, but will leave it here because His Holiness' lecture can be beneficial for all Mahayana Buddhists.

Indeed. Thanks for posting it Luke.

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, Dzogchen Teachings:

There is a teaching that is universal to all Buddhists called the Four Noble Truths. This was the first teaching transmitted by Buddha. Even if we have different methods in the teaching, such as Tantra and Dzogchen, they are always based on the Four Noble Truths. Why are they called the Noble Truths? They are noble because they are important for knowledge and understanding.
