Diligence: The Joyful Endeavor of the Buddhist Path. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche illuminates how diligence is the inner quality that inspires us to engage with the world and, most importantly, with our own mind. It’s the inner vigor that sparks enthusiasm despite difficulty, the dynamic armor that protects against laziness, and the inner strength that aims to meet the world with joy and open heartedness.

Interview about

Diligence (Dzigar Kongtrul, 2nd 2024)

In this commentary weaves together many teachings that Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche has given over the years on Shantideva’s eighth-century classic The Way of the Bodhisattva. Commenting on the Diligence chapter of the text, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche illuminates how diligence is the inner vigor that sparks enthusiasm despite difficulty, the dynamic armor that protects against laziness, and the inner strength that aims to meet the world with joy and openheartedness. He explores traditional teachings on diligence, like the three kinds of laziness, the two strengths, rebirth, and the nature of emptiness, and shows how diligence combined with joy can lead us to success in every endeavor.
