Live webinar with Tsoknyi Rinpoche: "Francisco: Integrating Life, Work and Dharma"

Описание: About the talk: Tsoknyi Rinpoche admired Francisco’s contribution to Mind & Life and enjoyed learning about his pioneering work as a scientist of unusual brilliance, but also his warmth and openness as a long-term dharma practitioner. Rinpoche once said: “Human beings like Francisco help us all remember something precious about how to live life fully, with a clear mind and an open heart.” One quality Rinpoche particularly appreciated was Francisco’s insights into the interconnections across, and at times within, various disciplines that are typically separated.

For over 25 years Tsoknyi Rinpoche has been teaching students worldwide about the innermost nature of mind in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Born into a family respected for its spiritual attainments, he was identified while still a small child as the third Tsoknyi Rinpoche and given the special education and upbringing of a tulku, or reincarnate lama. His teachers include some of the most renowned masters of Tibet. Widely recognized as an outstanding meditation teacher, he is the author of three books: Open Heart Open Mind, Carefree Dignity, and Fearless Simplicity. Tsoknyi Rinpoche teaches worldwide at more than 50 retreat centers for monks and nuns who follow his spiritual direction. His most current humanitarian project is completing a large school for impoverished young girls in Nepal with both Western and traditional buddhist educational curriculums.
