Lama Sarah Harding. . . is a lama in the Shangpa Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. A student of the late master Kalu Rinpoche, she completed the first traditional three-year retreat for westerners under his guidance in 1980. A faculty member at Naropa University, she has published five books, with one forthcoming. Lama Sarah's presentation of Buddhist teachings is lively and engaging. All are welcome.

"UNBIASED LINEAGE"
Esoteric Instruction for Buddhist Spiritual Practice
Essential Buddhist practices passed from India into Tibet via distinct lineages of masters, later known as the Eight Great Chariots of the Practice Lineages. The collection and preservation of these vast and profound teachings in the 19th century by Jamgon Kongtrul and others, founded the unbiased [Tibetan: ree-may] tradition.
Monday night, Lama Sarah will discuss these transmissions, the importance of lineage, and what it means to be a ree-may practitioner. Tuesday, she will explore a sampling of these instructions, taken from Kongtrul's Treasury of Knowledge: Esoteric Instructions (translated by Lama Sarah, and due out in March). The Kadampa Stages of the Path, the Shangpa Three Integrations on the Path, and the sublime Mahamudra of the Karma Kagyu will be explored, and others by popular demand!
