The Shambhala Meditation Center is proud to host His Eminence the 12th Zurmang
Gharwang Rinpoche for a very special teaching program. At the invitation of
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, His Eminence will teach on both public and Vajrayana
topics.
His Eminence was recognized and enthroned as the reincarnation of
Zurmang Gharwang by the 16th Karmapa. He has studied under the
guidance of His Holiness the 16th Karmapa and other great masters including Kalu
Rinpoche, Tulku Urgyen, and Jamgon Kongtrül Rinpoche. He directs and supports
two monastic institutions, one in Tibet and another in Sikkim, India, and has
taught internationally since 1987.
Zurmang Gharwang Rinpoche is a master in the Zurmang (Surmang) Karma Kagyü
lineage, with which the Shambhala community shares a close connection. The
current and previous Gharwang Rinpoches have been instrumental in preserving and
promoting the lineage of the Zurmang Kagyü in Tibet and around the world.
Public Talk: The Dance of Mind & Reality
Thur, Nov 8, 7 - 9 pm
The path of meditation is an exploration of the nature of mind and
