Phakchok Rinpoche talks about the accumulations of merit and wisdom, how they are defined, how they differ from each other, and how to gather them.

Phakchok Rinpoche shares advice from Lama Zhang on the different processes of rebirth and the relative importance of emptiness and compassion.
On the first Guru Rinpoche Day of the Tibetan Year of the Water Rabbit, Phakchok Rinpoche shares with us two quotes on the key points of the practices of generation, completion, and Guru Yoga.
On this Guru Rinpoche day, I would like to share with you all some of Guru Rinpoche’s precious pith instructions, from the fourth chapter of the Dispeller of All Obstacles (Tukdrup Barché Künsel), “Quintessential, All-Embracing Wisdom” (Yangtik Yeshé Zangtal).
In this video, Rinpoche explains the four components of authentic devotion, and shows us how we can develop this sense through practice.
