 Weekend Curriculum class with Karma Trinlay Rinpoche: Bodhicitta
January 14-15th, Sat-Sun 9AM-1PM
Bodhicitta is a natural aspect of the mind that, motivated by compassion, strives towards and commits to enlightenment. By experiencing the wisdom of Ultimate Bodhicitta, we can develop daily compassion that is free from the grips of ego and self-concern.
Class will be held online and in person January 14 and 15th from 9:00AM to 1:00pm on both days with a short break.
Karma Trinlay Rinpoche is a Buddhist master and scholar. Born of French and American parentage, Rinpoche is one of the first Westerners to be recognized as a Tulku (reincarnation of a Buddhist saint) by H.H. the late 16th Karmapa. Karma Trinlay Rinpoche has received all the important transmissions of Buddhism, as well as completed both traditional Buddhist and Western academic studies in the fields of philosophy and history. Fluent in English, French, and Tibetan, Rinpoche is a charismatic speaker who teaches regularly in Buddhist centers and universities in Europe, America and Asia. Karma Trinlay Rinpoche is a genuine bridge between the East and the West, the traditional and the modern.
