The Rebel Buddha site also gives people a first look at Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche’s November – December tour of day-long events supporting the release of the book and spreading the word about the dharma teachings he has labeled American Buddhism. That tour will include New York, Toronto, Halifax, Boulder and Seattle. Check out the Rebel Buddha website for more information and to learn about Rinpoche, his work and his wisdom.
Here is what renowned teacher Pema Chodron says about the book:
“Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche shatters old myths and sweeps away cultural baggage, presenting the essence of the Buddha’s teachings in a fresh, contemporary voice. With uncommon clarity and authority, he offers a new vision for the future of Buddhism that is at once shocking and hopeful. This is a small book with a big message that is timely and important.”
