“When engaging with individuals holding diverse beliefs, I try to maintain an internal space that accommodates spiritual variety, reflecting the principle that ‘the best view is no view.’ I rely on my Buddhist practice to remain open to supporting—with authenticity—an individual’s belief in a deity, divine intervention, or an eternal afterlife.”
“I am deeply saddened by the recent devastation in the Himalayas that has taken so many precious lives.”
Guest teacher Khenpo Karma Tenkyong will share some reflections on the precious natural world and his commitment to learning and protecting the environment.
