HH the Dalai Lama is in Japan giving a four-day teaching on Shantideva’s A Guide to the Bodhisatva’s Way of Life. Around 27,000 devotees are attending; the teaching is in Tibetan with Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Mongolian, Russian and English translations. His Holiness said “The Buddha himself has encouraged his disciples to investigate his teachings rather than accepting it out of blind faith. So we should do that,”
