Khentrul Lodrö T’hayé Rinpoche: Finding Joy in Troubled Times
Sunday, March 30 • 3PM
Altadena Main Library |
With so much discontent and so many displaced by the fires, please join us for an event with Rinpoche as he explores the potential and power of our mind when facing challenging times, from a wisdom that has been passed down from teacher to student for centuries.
Khentrul Lodrö T’hayé Rinpoche is the abbot of a monastery in Tibet and oversees meditation groups across North America, Australia, and South Africa. Since 2002 Rinpoche has traveled year-round teaching seminars and leading retreats. During the COVID pandemic, Rinpoche held online retreats for his students around the globe. Khentrul Rinpoche is one of the only monks in the world with three khenpo degrees — the equivalent of three Ph.Ds in Buddhist philosophy. Many of his students have nicknamed him “the mind training Khenpo” for his passion for teaching mind training practices.
