A special lecture by Tibetan high monk His Eminence the Eighth Garchen Rinpoche.

Garchen Rinpoche is known for his realization in the Tibetan Buddhist practice of Great Perfection and Mahamudra, as well as for his compassion. His life of imprisonment and unswerving compassion was documented in a recent film about his life, For the Benefit of All Beings.

As our stress associated with the end of semester heightens, this lecture is designed to bring relief and provide an opportunity to recharge ourselves from “compassion fatigue,” to get ready for the holiday season.
