To commemorate the 16th Parinirvana of His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, we are very honored to release the talk His Holiness gave in Nova scotia, Canada, My Heart Advice and Secret Pith Instructions, in 16 languages.
In 1993, His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche traveled around the world for three months. This was a significant journey which connected the Three Jewels to numerous people around the world. My Heart Advice and Secret Pith Instructions was a public speech that His Holiness gave in Canada on this trip in which His Holiness explained the three types of faith towards the Three Jewels.
To develop a firm conviction on the Guru and the Three Jewels is crucial for Dharma practitioners and this is the first step for anyone who seeks spiritual enlightenment. As Patrul Rinpoche said in The Words of My Perfect Teacher, it is only through faith that the absolute truth can be realized. In his talk My Heart Advice and Secret Pith Instructions, His Holiness offered us special pith instructions on how to cultivate a strong faith in the Three Jewels, and shared his insights in personal spiritual practice.
The speech was originally given in Tibetan and has now been translated into 15 languages including Chinese, English, Spanish, Hebrew, Portuguese, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Korean, Swedish, Dutch, Polish, Vietnamese, Swahili. On the 16th anniversary of the departure of His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, it is our hope that the heartfelt advice derived from his wisdom and compassion can provide inspiration to more people and guide them onto the path to true freedom.
