At the Halifax Shambhala Center, September 2003, Rinpoche gives two public talks on Sun of Wisdom, but he does it, in a slightly unconventional way:
- In the first talk the main subjects are the Heart Sutra, Milarepa's Authentic Portrait of the Middle Way and the sixteen types of emptiness from Chandrakirti's Entering the Middle Way.
- In the second talk, Rinpoche composes a verse for each of the first twenty-one chapters in Sun of Wisdom and then opens up for Q/A
