Kyabje Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche to Teach in Toronto, July 2006

A rare opportunity to take teachings and empowerments from a world-renowned master, yogi, and scholar of Tibetan Buddhism will take place this July in Toronto. Kyabje Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche is a senior advisor to the 14th Dalai Lama, and is the second-oldest lama alive today. Many prominent lamas teaching in the West were trained by him, as were many Western scholars. In fact, Professor Jeffrey Hopkins, one of the best known of these, will be attending the Toronto conference and offering an introduction.

Per the schedule below, from July 17th to 22nd, from 7-8:30 PM, Rinpoche will teach at the University of Toronto on topics based on two of his books--Tantric Practice in Nyingma and his newly released book, Fundamental Mind: The Nyingma View of the Great Completeness. A one-week teaching on Phowa: Transference of Consciousness will run from July 1-8, and then be followed by a Long Life Empowerment on July 11.
