Fearless Course with Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
Throughout our human history, we have searched for a better way, tool, or remedy to overcome fear and enjoy greater happiness. In this course, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche explains that we have been looking in the wrong direction! Instead of searching outside, we need to turn our gaze inward to transform fear. There are two types of fear, he says, wise and mistaken. We don’t need to worry about w se fear as it can help us. It is our mistaken fear that causes so much pain and confusion. Rinpoche shows us how to recognize and befriend fear with love and kindness, relaxation, and a healthy dose of humor.
“When we experience fear and confusion, we look outside for a remedy for our fear. But the remedies are inside.”
