Siddhartha’s Intent, founded by the revered Bhutanese lama, filmmaker, and author Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, has announced that Rinpoche will live-stream a series of in-person and online public teachings this weekend from Santiago de Chile. The first teaching, titled “Buddhist View and Conduct for Today’s Challenges,” will be conducted later today, and will be followed by a two-day teaching on “The Art of Combining Sutra and Tantra in Daily Practice” on Saturday and Sunday.
“In a world where chaos and uncertainty seem to prevail, we will have the opportunity to question our mental habits (once again, perhaps) and, guided by Rinpoche, adopt a radically different view,” Siddhartha’s Intent said of today’s teaching on “Buddhist View and Conduct for Today’s Challenges.” “Not just as a reflection, but as a call to transform our point of view and behavior in this world, using the tools that confront the root of today’s problems. Ready for a mental shake-up?” (Siddhartha’s Intent)
Siddhartha’s Intent is an international collective of Buddhist groups supporting Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche’s Buddhadharma activities by organizing teachings and retreats, distributing and archiving recorded teachings, and transcribing and translating manuscripts and practice texts.
“Buddhist View and Conduct for Today’s Challenges,” will be live-streamed in English at the following times, with consecutive interpretation into French, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Sharchop, Spanish and Vietnamese:

For Rinpoche’s two-day teaching on “The Art of Combining Sutra and Tantra in Daily Practice,” Siddhartha’s Intent remarked: “Neither a simple theoretical guide, nor an instruction manual. Two days in which Rinpoche will explain the depth of these powerful paths, and how sutra and tantra intertwine and complement each other in order to enrich our practice and give rise to an authentic transformation.”
“The Art of Combining Sutra and Tantra in Daily Practice” are all-day events that will be conducted in English from 9–10 November at 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. local time, with consecutive interpretation into French, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Sharchop, Spanish and Vietnamese.
