Text of the Month Tutorial with Alex Gardner and Ryan Jacobson

The tutorial on A Brief Liberation Account of the Omniscient Guru has been postponed. We will share details about the rescheduled event as soon as we have them.

Meanwhile, we’re glad to share a short teaser for the session. In this video, Alex Gardner recounts a vivid episode from Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo’s life, as depicted in a nineteenth-century painting preserved at Dzongsar Monastery. The painting depicts the opening of the treasure site Rongme Karmo Taktsang in 1866, when Khyentse Wangpo and the great tertön Chokgyur Lingpa revealed profound treasures and consecrated the site, which later became an important place of retreat for generations of practitioners.
