September 25, 2020 – March 12, 2021
Geshe Lhakdor gave an introductory set of teachings on Bodhisattvamanyàvalì, Bodhisattva’s Garland of Gem by Atisha as a part of the Foundation’s Weekly Virtual Teachings (from September 25, 2020 – March 12, 2021). Spread over 24 weekly sessions, the Teachings provided a space for understanding the Text, a classic in the Mind Training (blo sbyong) traditions and also for the participants to deal with the challenges emanating from the global pandemic.
The program accommodated about 100 participants—Buddhists and others interested in the insights and perspectives Buddhism offers to contemporary predicaments—from across the world. A majority of participants attended all the sessions. Geshe Lhakdor, a distinguished scholar and a popular, much in demand teacher made the Text easily accessible while retaining its authenticity.
Ven. Geshe Lhakdor is the Director of the Tibetan Library of Works & Archives in Dharamsala. He has served as an interpreter for HH The Dalai Lama & as an editor of many of His books. He is one of the Managing Trustees of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility of HH the Dalai Lama, New Delhi.
