The notion of dignity is crucial to the question of how best to live a meaningful and fulfilling life, particularly for todays environment in which so many of us experience self-doubt, low self-esteem, and feelings of being trapped by anxiety, dissatisfaction, or even success. How, in such a circumstance, can we gain authentic and unshakeable dignity? In Awakening Dignity, Phakchok Rinpoche draws from the Tibetan Buddhist wisdom tradition to offer a unique and fresh approach to answer this question.
From the Buddhist perspective, dignity is an inherent quality of fundamental wholeness and completeness that we all naturally possess: our true nature is pure and our heart is noble. In this guide, Phakchok Rinpoche shows how knowing that we are whole and complete alreadyand gaining trust and certainty in that understandingcan counteract the common feeling that we are not enough, that something is missing.
Gaining unwavering trust in ourselves protects us from lifes ups and downs. With genuine dignity, we are not riddled with uncertainty, anxiety, or self-doubt. Rather, we are able to face any circumstance with confidence, clarity, and compassion. Through reflections, examples, and simple meditationssuch as embracing adversity and practicing compassionAwakening Dignity provides all the tools necessary to fully embody our fundamental dignity.

Dignity is something we all possess but may not readily understand or recognize as being part of our true nature. Awakening Dignity offers teachings and practices that help us see and deal with any obstacles in our way. Written with clarity and a pertinent connection to our daily lives, you dont need to be a Buddhist to gain insight from this lovely book.
Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Change
Phakchok Rinpoche is an emerging stakeholder of the Buddhadharma who has trained under some of the greatest teachers of the century. His efforts to create a dialogue between the Buddhadharma and Western philosophy and thinking are greatly welcomed.
Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, author of The Guru Drinks Bourbon? and Living Is Dying
In this delightfully engaging book, renowned teacher Phakchok Rinpoche teams up with scholar and longtime student of Rinpoche Sophie Wu to offer us an entirely accessible yet truly profound exploration of dignity as stable confidence in our own true nature. Awakening and cultivating our innate dignity cures us of feelings of low self-esteem, inadequacy, self-doubt, and incompleteness. With dignity training exercisescontemplative practices that help us to touch and grow our innate dignityalong with edifying stories and lively examples, this is a jewel of a text, and genuine medicine for what ails us.
Jan Willis, PhD, author of Dreaming Me: Black, Baptist, and Buddhist and Dharma Matters: Women, Race, and Tantra
The concept of dignity is one that many of us think we understand, yet precious few truly do. Personally, I was among them until reading this book by Phakchok Rinpoche. Although I have long worked on cultivating compassion and wisdom, it was only after reading Awakening Dignity that I realized the essential role dignity plays in understanding who I really am and my full potential. Rinpoches heartfelt gift to the world is to provide the knowledge and path for learning that dignity is our pure nature beyond how we usually identify ourselves. To begin on the journey to realizing our inner dignity, we need an introduction, and this book is it.

In this book, Kyabgn Phakchok Rinpoche taps into the essence of fearless dignity and provides a step-by-step experiential process to gently clear away the layers of clouds (habitual patterns) that obscure certainty in our innate basic goodness. In this way, Rinpoche guides us to recognize our own true nature and deftly illustrates how such recognition is an essential first step in seeing the fundamental nature in all beings. By providing the tools for stabilizing this clear view of unchanging reality, Rinpoche helps us cultivate the skillful means to treat ourselves and others with more awareness, loving-kindness, compassion, and wisdom. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for all who wish to find happiness and fulfillment in their lives.

When we arrived for a week as guests of Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche and his wife, Damchola, at their home in Bhutan, our hosts shared their extreme delight with their last guest, who had also been studying with Rinpoche and left just before we arrived.
His name: Phakchok Rinpoche.
From childhood on, Phakchok Rinpoche had received teachings from great Tibetan Buddhist masters, starting with his grandfather Tulku Urgyen Rinpocheone of the most revered Dzogchen meditation masters to have left Tibet for Nepal when his country was invaded. Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, too, was counted among that revered group of great spiritual masters, for both his inner realization and his scholarly expertise.
Phakchok Rinpoche took the teachings of both Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche and Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche to heart, practicing them in his daily life, in compassionate action, in retreat, and in his own teachings and studies. His studies were mainly in a traditional shedra, an intensive course of textual immersion that takes years to complete. Rinpoche emerged with the Tibetan equivalent of a PhD.
Even more significant, through his years spent in retreat, Phakchok Rinpoche has achieved more than intellectual understanding of the teachingshe has come to embody them. Like others in his illustrious family of Rinpoches, his very being radiates wisdom, compassion, and dignity.
Weve known Phakchok Rinpoche since he was youngmeeting him when we traveled to Nepal to study with his grandfather Tulku Urgyen Rinpocheand always found him wise beyond his years. Today he has become a remarkable teacher to the world, offering the traditional wisdom teachings in a fresh and unique way that makes them accessible to everyonenot just those who practice in the Tibetan tradition.
In this book Phakchok Rinpoche, with the able help of his student and adept writing partner Sophie Wu, shares his profound insights into dignity, a stable confidence in our true nature. Even as we are transforming the shortcomings that come up in our lives, he explains, we can turn toward our own true nature, like seeing the clear sky behind the clouds.
Early in the Covid-19 pandemic when much of the world went into lockdown, Phakchok Rinpoche moved into a holy cave in Nepal for an extensive retreat. We were touched that he asked an assistant to contact us to make sure we were okay. His warm, caring heart, together with that wisdom beyond his years, make Phakchok Rinpoche an inspiring teacher for these times.
Phakchok Rinpoche is a living example of what he teaches, modeling for us all his natural wisdom. His confident dignity shines, even when he acknowledges his own challenges and shows how he brings awareness to the inner work of transformation. This openness, mixed with his refreshing candor and humor, makes what he teaches all the more relatable to our own lives.
Rinpoche has an unusual sensitivity when it comes to his Western students (perhaps aided by his wise-hearted wife, Norbu, who grew up in an eminent traditional Tibetan family in the Washington, DC, suburbs). He has repeatedly been remarkably proficient at communicating teachings to his students according to their needs.
