ROUNDTABLE>
How Karma Works from a Tibetan Buddhist Perspective
by Wendi Adamek
The Numata Chair in Buddhist
Studies at the University of Calgary is pleased to present:"How Karma Works from a Tibetan Buddhist Perspective"
Roundtable Discussion with
His Eminence Tulku Neten Rinpoche
Thursday May 2, 1-2:30pm, Kawamura Library
Followed by reception
Topic:
Many people practice some sort of meditation these days, and they often assume the doctrine of karma does not fit with a "scientific" worldview. His Eminence Tulku Neten Rinpoche will talk about how attention affects what one experiences, from the perspective of Buddhist views of karma and causality.
Speaker:
His Eminence is recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the 9th reincarnated Tulku Neten Rinpoche, Lama-Abbot of the Jungpa Monastery in Lithang, Tibet. He received his Ph.D. degree (Geshe Lharampa) from SeraMey Monastic University in South India in Buddhist Sūtras, and an advanced degree in Buddhist Tantra (Ngagrampa) from Gyumed Tantric Monastery. He was a teacher at SeraMey Monastic University and Gyumed Tantric Monastery, and is the Founder/Abbot of Jam Tse Cho Ling Dharma Centre in Calgary and Toronto, and the 1st Throne Holder of the Gelug Monlam-Canada. His Eminence resides in Toronto but travels extensively across the globe giving teachings to religious, educational and social institutions.
