This is Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche’s complete and unedited public talk given at the Lerab Ling Buddhist centre in France, on 28 February 2018. The fuller title was: ‘Vajrayana Buddhism in the West—The Challenges and Misunderstandings of our Times’’. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche was asked to teach on the following questions: —Is Vajrayana Buddhism a cult religion? —How can we reconcile western values of independence, free will, critical intelligence and transparency, with the core Vajrayana principles of devotion, loyalty, secrecy and surrender? —Given the pre-eminence of science and secularization in the West, what place is there for a spiritual tradition steeped in faith and ritual?
