Simple Inside, Complex Outside

Simple Inside, Complex Outside

An online event in the Deepening Q&A format

Dates: May 12–17, 2026
Format: Online (Zoom)

The second program in the Healing and Liberation Series

In a world that seems increasingly complex and out of control, it can feel that our inner worlds are also tumultuous and overly complex.

It can be difficult to feel centered and clear—in our bodies, our minds, and in our spiritual practice.

In response to this, Rinpoche has repeatedly taught the training slogan “simple inside, complex outside” as an encouragement to find the simple and authentic homes of spiritual practice within. With groundedness, essence love, and mind essence as our inner refuges, we can face the complexities of our relationships and our world with more ease, dignity, and clarity.

Known for his warmth, humor, and the care he brings to his students’ questions, Rinpoche will again offer teachings in the Deepening Q&A format—a setting that often evokes his most spontaneous and engaging exchanges

BROADER CONTEXT – SERIES

Healing and Liberation – 2026 Online Teaching Series with Tsoknyi Rinpoche

We are pleased to announce in 2026, Pundarika Foundation is launching a series of events focusing on Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s unique framework of Healing and Liberation—the two principal aspects of his approach.

The healing path involves transforming distorted unhealthy subtle body and mental patterns into a healthy relative subtle body and mind. These principles and practices aim to foster, nurture and sustain a healthy human being and is a worthy goal in and of itself. For Tsoknyi Rinpoche, healing leads to groundedness, essence love and clarity. This can be cultivated through the series of practices in the Fully Being path.

The path of liberation takes that platform as its basis, and moves beyond just a healthy human being to liberation from the larger samsaric cycle of confusion and suffering. The path of liberation involves discovering and training in the nature of mind, and is connected to the ground, path and fruition of Dzogpachenpo, The Great Perfection.
