 Shambhala Sunday Gathering - Deepening Through Dialogue
with Judith Simmer-Brown
March 7 / 3:00 PM - March 7 / 4:00 PM
One of the passions of Chogyam Trungpa was his love of interreligious dialogue. From his early years in the west through the founding of Naropa University, Rinpoche was fascinated by his deep conversations with contemplatives from a variety of traditions, and in that spirit, he founded a series of dialogues at Naropa University that continued for a decade. This presentation explores the principles of dialogue, and shares the remarkable fruits of meeting a spiritual other on the ground of mutual exploration.
