Old chestnuts about the Karmapa and the Dalai Lama

Alex W — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:05:39 +0000

My good friend Dave Lawson sent me a link to an article in the Times Online by Michael Binyon. Written some three or four weeks ago, it is entitled Disunity threatens the Dalai Lama’s timeless authority. It is full of tired old chestnuts, and the comments that have been added by others are sadly [...]

Apropos the Harris Park centre

For reasons not known to me, the E-Vam website still doesn’t carry even the briefest mention of the new centre in Sydney. So here is the contents of the flyer for the coming week-end.

New Kagyu Centre in Sydney – first visit

Alex — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:47:00 +0000

Went yesterday to see Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche at the new Kagyu Centre in Harris Park (see this earlier post.).

I will confess that in the days of the tiny centre mentioned in the previous blog post, I got off to a bad start with Traleg Rinpoche’s talks. I had seen him teach [...]
