the Sakyong speaks
January 14, 2003
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche will give a public talk at San Francisco's Herbst Theater on Wed. (1/15) at 7:30pm.
this is a rare public appearance by the Sakyong, who is widely regarded as one of the great contemporary Buddhist teachers. the son of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche - the former monk who almost single-handedly introduced Tibetan Buddhism to the West in the early 1970s - the Sakyong now leads the international Shambhala Buddhist community. he is also regarded as an emanation of the legendary 19th-century teacher Mipham.
I would highly recommend this talk for anyone interested in a basic introduction to Buddhist practice.
