t.k. gives a sublime discourse on prayer, focusing on contemplative prayer as longing for divine experience. He contrasts cataphatic prayer, which contemplates divine attributes, with apophatic prayer, embracing the ineffable mystery. Rinpoche also includes a brilliant exposition of prayer within the context of the Vajrayana path!

We're so blessed to have this brilliant teaching. Enjoy!
