The Buddha - Getting to Know Buddha, Part II
by The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
In Part II of his four-part commentary, The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche relates the human journey of Prince Siddhartha, from his birth to his marriage to Princess Yashodhara, from the vast perspective of the Mahayana view. As he faces all the challenges and questions of youth, even Siddhartha’s most mundane pursuits are transformed into compassionate actions that turn his mind away from the palace and lead him towards his ultimate goal—the full realization of the heart of enlightenment.
