- This is the first of two public talks entitled ‘The Future of Buddhism: Challenges and Opportunities in Modern Society’, given by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche at the invitation of Rigpa in London, on 10 March 2018. The teaching itself is complete and unedited, only the entrance of a person who created a disturbance to the teaching has been edited out.
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche was requested to share his insights into the future of Buddhism in the Modern world, addressing key questions such as:
-What are the main challenges and opportunities for Buddhism in the Modern World?
-How can the tradition of tantric Buddhism, as found in the Tibetan tradition, co-exist with a society increasingly dominated by individualism and the rejection of gurus?
-Are there risks in the trend to secularise Buddhism?
-What dangers are inherent in the rejection by some Buddhists of teachings on rebirth and karma?

The best teacher
I'm glad Rinpoche mentioned Waddell. My memory is he was one of those early, staunch Christians who often translated Tibetan works from their rigid dualistic mindset. A lot of those translators, and probably many today try to force the Buddhist philosophy into their own cookie cutter context which results in a gross aberration of the actual dharmic view. They would have had far more veracity if they just admitted they didn't understand what was being presented. Then again, it's also understandable. Sad that these folks ever gained any audiences. (Just found this quote about him on Wiki: "By 1917, Waddell was fully retired and first started exclusively writing on Aryans, beginning in an article published in the Asiatic Review entitled "Aryan Origin of the World's Civilization".[4] From the 1920s Waddell published several works which attempted to prove an Aryan (i.e., Indo-European) origin of the alphabet and the appearance of Indo-European myth figures in ancient Near Eastern mythologies (e.g., Hittite, Sumerian, Babylonian)". So, like many extremists who refuse to see life through any lens but their own, he tries to appropriate all walks of life to his tribe. Mama mia. Of course, this could also be my own confused interpretation - but the evidence is pretty overwhelming.

"Times have changed." -- Time is change. Things have always been changing since the tantras appeared. So where does that leave us?
From Bangladesh :)
"Most of the people trying to save the world take hot showers." Booya!
"nowhere does it say that you just jump into vajrayana without analysis" sounds like we need to spend time to actually fully learn "shravakayana"

See 1:33 for his reaction to Mingyur Rinpoche's comments on Sogyal Rinpoche.
What is Vajrayana? I`m informed that it is avangarde, raw, very difficult to understand....the content, please!
Surely, Tilopa would Love this Monk...Maybe he would have smacked his bald head and we would witness a Crown in One*** I bow before the Tibetan people and the lineage of Treasure keepers***

If harm was done to a person (like an act that causes the student a loss of faith in the dharma, or gives the person PTSD symptoms) by a buddhist teacher, then it was either not a dharma teaching or a valid dharma teaching was applied incorrectly, at the wrong time or to the wrong person.

I have huge respect for Dzongsar Rinpoche. However to appear oneself in better light or to display oneself as unbiased teacher ,Dzongsar rinpoche often tend to imply Taste of Buddhism degenerated after its inception in Tibet. Buddha dharma atleast survived in its entirety in part due to our past masters and translators. Thanks to them that buddhism be it Pali tradition. Mahayana and vajrayana are most complete in Tibetan than other other language including Sanskrit texts. I think he atleast should have differentiated master and teacher . Beside producing vast number of teachers, they also were many masters even to this day. Although having received his own teachings from Tibetan lamas, he likes to negate the achievements of Tibetan lamas. Rinpoche also studied the scripture as well in Tibetan and being one of the reincarnated lama of a past Tibetan master. I feel it’s not right to generalize all Tibetan lamas. Although lamaism is in part true for Tibetan Buddhism, we can’t deny the fact that highly realized being likeJetsun Milarepa , Je Tsongkhapa and many more from Tibet . It would be proper to tell both sides of the story which is common in any field of tradition or education. You can’t expect everyone to become scientists just because you are leaning science and teaching science . It’s sad that he didn’t even mention his root teacher “Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche while talking about Vajrayana while quoting what Xuanzang said is just a contradiction. Rinpoche definitely is well versed in Buddhist scriptures, but he doesn’t seem to be appreciative of past and present Tibetan masters including his own teacher. True vajrayana practioners like Milarepa , and quite recent Shabkar Tsongdrul doesn’t even have monasteries .Masters from 20th century like your teacher Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche are exceptional masters including Tantra or Vajrayana. Non duality is only a concept for us until we internalize it and I am sorry Rinpoche , you are also a teacher not a master. Please atleast give credit to good masters of past and present generation while talking about bad teachers that developed later in Tibet after different branches started with institutionalization of schools into monasteries. One of your previous incarnation also was a highly learned master as well. If you really want to be straight forward , name the bad Tullkus n rinpoches. There are both pros- cons for any teachings including at the source country. In short, acknowledge good masters while talking about the bad ones since both are product of the same Buddhism or Tibetan Buddhist tradition. You can’t do mass generalization of a tradition .
I don't know if Buddhism has a future, period. Unless it can adapt to the HUGE changes that are coming in the next ten years due to the power of AI, neuroscience, global warming, and many other issues, it will cease to be relevant and is going to be swept aside. Its biggest problem is that it cannot seem to increase its success rate or expand its scope beyond a tiny elite of well-heeled, mostly white practitioners. A 1 or 2% enlightenment success rate is just not going to cut it. We need a 20-30% success rate, and we need it in the next decade or two, or it will be too late.
Buddhism is all about dealing with impermanence, but is struggling to come to terms with its _own_ impermance. Get with the program and suck it up.
If there's no hierarchy in the mantrayana, what's with all the mandatory prostrating, hmm?
Prostration is towards the Buddha nature of a person. Not the deluded being but his or her ultimate nature
It does appear like that but the reason for venerating the lama / teacher is not because they are ultimately superior to you or because they have something you don’t have, it’s because they have introduced you to your Buddha nature and to the path to realising that nature, out of valuing, respecting that. It appears to be about the teacher but it’s about what they have shown you is within you, about your nature. But you wouldn’t know / connect with that or be able to move towards it without someone showing you. Hope that makes sense.
Rinpoche didn't ask prostration.... this is all from student...and i think it is best method for student....to generate devotion and pure perception....
Even Vinaya is really sustained by a hierarchy, so Mahayana being based on Vinaya is as well
Mellow I have a genuine advice for you but it comes from a very common Buddhist practitioner. Have you ever heard about the term ‘MERIT’, well if you haven’t then you’ve a lot of homeworks to do.

Tibetan Buddhist should really stop speaking for all Buddhist.
zinakan okay, probably you should start expounding your own version of the teachings, which would then be ZINAKANISM, yeah... The Tibetan Buddhism is misinterpreted a lot from phoney westerners to some political spiritual leaders....🙏🏻
I do not follow Tibetan Buddhism in any shape or form nor am I a teacher. A lot of Tibetan are the ones teaching in the west. Buddha is my teacher, not some weirdo guru.
I wholeheartedly revere you for our only Teacher is the Buddha! I have no qualms with you, never had I any...!!!
How do you follow Buddha? How do you differentiate between good and weirdo guru? Would be interesting to know. Did you listen this talk in entirety before commenting?
Fair enough, the title should be specifically referred to "Vajrayana Buddhism".
But a true "buddhist", regardless of school would, 1) not be fixated on the idea that one buddhist teacher speaks for all buddhists and, 2) that "buddhism" even exists.
Fish and ships?! What the fuck Rimpoche!!!!!!!!! In all those hours of contemplation on emptiness did you not get distracted a minute to think that in order to eat a fish it has to asphyxiate first for a few minutes in intense agony????????????????
