Revered teacher Khen Rinpoche Lobzang Tsetan, an incarnate lama from Ladakh, India, and Professor David Gardiner, Chair of the Religious Studies Department at Colorado College will present a discussion tonight of ancient traditions and how that knowledge applies to today’s challenges. One need not be a practicing Buddhist to enjoy the program.

“Khen Rinpoche is remarkable for being one of the elder Lamas, educated in Tibet, for being dedicated wholly to the spiritual path, and for his appointment by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the Abbot at one of the most prestigious monasteries in Tibet’s history,” said Professor Gardiner. “He is also a highly trained scholar (a Geshe, or Doctor, from Drepung Monastery), who has spent decades in the U.S., resulting in great familiarity with our culture. He is a most wise, gentle and sincere teacher, with a great sense of humor.”

The presentation, brought to Jackson by the Center of Wonder, starts at 7 p.m. and it’s free!
