By going through the life of Buddha as young Siddhartha, Rinpoche explained The Four Truths, and said non-violence is an indispensable branch [for the practice of the four]. During the ensuing Question-Answer session, Rinpoche explained in great details: The three aspects of meditations; Calm Abiding and Special Insight; the stages of meditation; the obstacles to meditation–mental sinking, scattering, and so on; and, education.
