Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche is talking about it in the end of this video. It happened at Rangjung Yeshe Gomde Denmark this autumn.

"The direct, hard to understand, subtle field of knowing, the Great Path, is non-conceptual (akalpana), and entirely beyond the grasp of intellectual thought. Divorced from verbal ideation, it is difficult to point out and as difficult to enquire into. It cannot be communicated through words and [therefore] is not within the scope of the neophyte (adikarmika). Nevertheless the path is to be approached through studying scriptures (sutra) of the World-Teacher and following the personal instructions (upadesa) of one's Guru-ji."

This is great news...he has already benefitted many sentient beings, and I rejoice that he will continue to do so, in new ways.

Sadhu! Sadhu! :twothumbsup:

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." –Arundhati Roy

Great! :thumbsup:
Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldy desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.

I am not at all surprised. He has the air and humility of a qualified teacher anyway (and of course the knowledge). Good news. :smile:
