SUMMARY:The Tantric Songs of Atiśa with Patrick Lambelet\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first talk in this new series\, to discuss Atiśa’s tantric “songs” and works that newly reveal his complex role in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. \nAtiśa is famously known as a major figure in the transmission of Buddhism to Tibet\, seeding the unique development of the bodhisattva path there. However\, his numerous and lesser-known writings on Vajrayāna and Mahāmudrā show his close connection to the esoteric writings of mahāsiddhas\, offer commentary on controversial traditions\, and espouse unexpected views of emptiness. \nOpen to all; registration required: \nPlease register here for In-person or online Zoom attendance and select the donation level you can offer in support of our ongoing programs. Zoom registrants will receive the link via email by the day before the event.
