Our Teacher: H.H. the 42nd Sakya Trizin
H.H. the 42nd Sakya Trizin, former head of the Sakya Tradition and one of the great masters of Tibetan Buddhism, will teach the key elements of the Bodhisattva philosophy and practice in this course—combining the precision of classical treatises with the depth of personal experience, giving us access to teachings of incalculable value. Their transmission of the Dharma with humility, warmth, and naturalness has earned the affection and admiration of students and teachers alike.
This is a wonderful opportunity to receive the invaluable guidance of a great master—to immerse ourselves in the Dharma, receive blessings, and take an evolutionary leap in practice and spiritual development.
“If I understand anything about compassion and the Bodhisattva path, it is entirely due to the text of Shantideva.”
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
