Wisdom is pleased to host a livestreaming talk with His Holiness the Sakya Trichen Rinpoche at 2:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, January 21. His Holiness will be discussing his forthcoming book Freeing the Heart and Mind, Part 3: Teachings on the Sakya Path, coming out in May. You’ll be able to view the livestream in the Vimeo player above and the video will be recorded so you can watch it here later.

His Holiness the Sakya Trichen is the revered forty-first throneholder of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism, in a long line of great masters that dates back to 1073. He is a member of the Khon family, who have been important teachers of Buddhism in Tibet since the eighth century. A brilliant master, he manifests profound wisdom and compassion, and his command of English renders his teachings particularly beneficial to students in the West. He was born in 1945 in Sakya, Tibet, and in 1959 relocated with tens of thousands of Tibetan people to India, where he continues to live and work tirelessly to rebuild the Sakya tradition. He has guided the establishment of hundreds of monasteries, nunneries, colleges, and Dharma centers around the world. His seat in the Western hemisphere is Tsechen Kunchab Ling in Walden, New York.
