How are aspirations restorative to our sanity? How do aspirations both stretch and strengthen our hearts and minds? In this talk Mitra Tyler will explore these questions, and we will also explore content from and practice together the chanting of several key aspirations of the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist tradition: the “Aspiration of Maitreya,” the “Bodhicāryāvatāra Aspiration,” and the “Aspiration of Bodhicitta.”
Mitra Tyler was born in Nova Scotia, Canada. He has been engaged in the study and practice of Buddhism since 1996, becoming a student of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche two years later. He began studying the Tibetan language in 1997, and became an oral interpreter and textual translator for Nitartha Institute and Nalandabodhi in 2000.
Tyler joined the faculty of Nitartha Institute in 2003 and was appointed as a senior teacher in Nalandabodhi in 2005. He has served as an oral interpreter for lineage-holding masters of the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. Tyler enjoys teaching on such topics as the four immeasurables, and exploring how the great Buddhist forebears inspire and inform life in the 21st century.
A musician and singer, he has participated in arrangements for several ‘melodized’ liturgies and ‘dharma songs.’
