In this video, Stéphane Bédard, who studied ikebana with Seibi Watanabe Sensei, shows how the Shambhala Buddhist path as taught by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and his son and successor, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, has inspired his ikebana practice for more than 30 years. Born in a Broken Heart illustrates how ikebana can touch the heart of anyone and bring more peace, joy and a sense of celebration to our society.

This seven-minute video from The Bodhisattva Project is intended as a sequel to Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche’s video What About Me.
