Hundreds of Bhutanese in Perth Embark on Spiritual Journey
Perth, Australia
In a momentous gathering today, hundreds of Bhutanese residents in Perth were bestowed with invaluable teachings by the revered H.H. Ganteng Truelku Rinpoche. The main preliminary practice of Dzogchen Kunzang Gongdue Ngondro was disseminated as a foundational step on the path to enlightenment within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
His visit has generated a spiritual wave of enthusiasm among the Bhutanese community. The attendees have promised to pass the next coming year in serious Ngondro practice, a very challenging set of spiritual exercises purifying the mind and gearing it up for deeper realms of Dzogchen meditation.
By working through this difficult preliminary practice successfully, these dedicated persons will qualify themselves to undertake the actual Dzogchen teachings, which will start the following year.
This indeed is a great occasion that really brings out the deepest impact of Tibetan Buddhism on the Bhutanese diaspora and their relentless efforts toward preserving and promoting their vibrant spiritual heritage. While the community converges under the guidance of H.H. Ganteng Truelku Rinpoche, there is a feeling among them with anticipation and aspiration for spiritual growth.
