March 13 & 20, 2021 @ 5:00 pm -8:00 pm Mountain Time

In The Sword of Wisdom, Mipham Rinpoche explains the two truths and the two kinds of valid cognitions, which ascertain those two levels of our reality and how that leads us to knowledge of what is of primary importance when we are studying dharma with a presentation of the four reliances: Rely not upon the individual but on the Dharma. Rely not on the words but on the meaning. Rely not on the provisional meaning but on the definitive. Rely not upon ordinary consciousness but on timeless awareness.

Prerequisites: Prior Knowledge of Mahayana Buddhism.
