This unique event will be hosted by Wisdom’s Daniel Aitken and emceed by Donald Lopez. Together with distinguished guests, we’ll reflect on the depth of his contributions—from his pioneering translations and scholarship to the warmth, humor, and wisdom he so generously shared with all who knew him.
Event Format
Unlike our typical Wisdom Dharma Chats, this program will feature multiple guests and comments and conversations from individuals who shared a personal and intellectual connection with Jeffrey:
Opening Remarks from Donald Lopez
Interview with Natalie Griffin & Robert Thurman
Remarks from Thupten Jinpa
Interview with Elizabeth Napper & Guy Newland
Interview with Laura Cunningham
Interview and Closing Remarks from Donald Lopez and Daniel Aitken
With short breaks between sessions, each dialogue will explore unique perspectives on Jeffrey’s teachings, his legacy as a mentor and translator, and the groundbreaking nature of Meditation on Emptiness, a text that transformed the study of Madhyamaka in the English-speaking world.
