Lecture: Khen Rinpoche Lobzang Tsetan: Buddhist Views on Love, Compassion and Forgiveness

Revered Tibetan Buddhist monk and scholar Khen Rinpoche Lobzang Tsetan, from Ladakh, India, will present Buddhist perspectives on love, compassion and forgiveness in conversation with Prof. David Gardiner of the Colorado College Religion department. Khen Rinpoche has given lectures at many U.S. universities and colleges, and in numerous other venues, for more than 25 years. He recently had the remarkable honor of being appointed by the Dalai Lama as the abbot of the Tashi Lhumpo Monastery in India. This monastery, reestablished in India by Tibetan exiles, has been one of Tibet's most famous institutions for centuries and is the traditional seat of the Panchen Lama (currently held under house arrest in Tibet), who is second in reverence only to the Dalai Lama in Tibetan culture. For information on Khen Rinpoche's other talks in town from 3/28-30, contact dgardiner@coloradocollege.edu, 389-6616, or go to http://downtowninnerspace.com/. Sponsored by the Religion Department, the Dean's Venture Grant Fund and Asian Studies program.
