Join us this Sunday at 11:00 AM as Morris Newman gives a talk on Marpa the Translator, one of the great figures in Tibetan Buddhist history.

Marpa made three extraordinary journeys from Tibet to India, traveling through difficult and often dangerous conditions in order to receive Buddhist teachings and bring them back to Tibet. His devotion, perseverance, and determination helped preserve teachings that would become central to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Morris’s talk will be based on the book The Life of Marpa the Translator and will explore Marpa’s remarkable life, his travels, and his importance in the transmission of Buddhism from India to Tibet.

We hope you will join us for this special Sunday teaching.

Sunday, September 27th at 11:00 AM - This talk, given by Dr. Patrick Lambelet, will explore some of the main points in these texts, considering Kadam Mahāmudrā meditation in relation to later developments and other approaches to meditation on emptiness.

Atiśa and the Kadam tradition are best known for their emphasis on gradual approaches to enlightenment, such as the stages of the path (lam rim), stages of the teaching (ten rim), and mind training (lo jong). However, Atiśa and a number of important Kadam masters also composed seminal works on the Great Seal (Mahāmudrā), the meditative tradition closely associated with the siddha traditions and the Kagyü school.
