Welcome to
DharmaSun!
This website emerged from the efforts of the Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche. Rinpoche’s wish is to make the Buddha’s teachings available to everyone. The teachings found here offer advice on how to live a meaningful life of compassionate wisdom in accordance with the Buddha’s view.
Here you can access talks by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, such as his Heart-to-Heart Advice, gain teachings on Buddhist Classics & Philosophy, and engage in the gradual meditation program, Tara’s Triple Excellence.
