კურსის შესახებ

In 1992 და 1999, Dr. რობინ კორნმანმა გამართა ინტენსიური რეტრეიტები კარმე ჩოლინგში, სადაც გამოიკვლიეს შამბალას პრაქტიკა და სწავლება გესარის ეპოსთან დაკავშირებით.. Each talk was an enriching journey and a dazzling display of Dr. Kornman’s vast knowledge, იუმორი, and profound insight.

ეს კურსი შედგენილია ექვსი მოლაპარაკებიდან იმ უკანდახევებში. Along the way, Dr. Kornman will answer the following questions: 

• Who was Gesar of Ling?
• Was Gesar a ‘Buddhist’ ფიგურა?
• Why did Trungpa Rinpoche dedicate Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior to Gesar of Ling?
• What, ზუსტად, are ‘Dralas’ and how do our practices connect us to them?
• What are the historical sources of Trungpa Rinpoche’s terma and teachings on Warrriorship?

Robin Kornman also offers expansive line-by-line commentaries on practices such as ‘The Invocation for Raising Windhorse’ and ‘Warrior Song of Drala’ lhasang chants.

Each audio talk is accompanied by an extensive ‘slideshow’ illustrating the lineage figures, themes and practice texts covered.

These will be accompanied by supplemental essays by Dr. Kornman and others which deepen, update and expand on the recorded talks.
