Tutorial on The Grove of Wondrous Lotus Flowers

In July we hosted a special tutorial on The Grove of Wondrous Lotus Flowers: A Brief Account of the Lineage Holders of the Secret Mantrayāna Schools, Old and New, in the Snowy Land of Tibet,—a comprehensive two-hundred-page work by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo on the history of Tibetan Buddhism, translated by Matthew Akester. Building on the recent livestream presentation with Matthew Akester, editor of this text Alex Gardner and KVP in-house translator Jamie Creek shared their experience working on this text. This session also explored sacred places associated with Khyentse Wangpo and included insights from Jamie’s recent trip to Dzongsar in Tibet. The special guest of this event was Ven. François Jampal Senge, who had recently travelled to that area and shared many stories.
