On March 29, 2013 at Padma Samye Ling during the One Month Dzogchen Retreat on Mipham Rinpoche’s Vajra Heart, Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche taught on the “Four Reliances.”

(1) Don’t rely on the person, rely on the teaching.

(2) Don’t rely on the words, rely on the meaning.

(3) Don’t rely on the provisional meaning, rely on the definitive, ultimate meaning.

(4) Don’t rely on conceptual mind, but rely on wisdom.
