This course explores the dignity of the Dragon – which is inscrutable, because it has attained wisdom, power and awesome conviction.

Going beyond fear into fearlessness naturally connects us to our innate human goodness, intelligence and bravery that has always been present – all manifestations of innate wisdom.

The Everyday Life study courses are meant to be taken sequentially. In order to register for Wisdom in Everyday Life you should have completed Fearlessness in Everyday Life.

They were early leaders and teachers at Rocky Mountain Dharma Center (now SMC) from 1974 to 1977. In a true display of the great switcheroo, Trungpa Rinpoche sent them to the Big Apple in 1978—straight from the mountains of RMDC with no indoor plumbing—appointing Richard as one of the first Vajradhatu Ambassadors and Alice as a senior teacher.
