These gatherings will showcase the rich dharma heritage of our extended dharma family. It will do so by inviting speakers all of whom began their Buddhist path within the Vajradhatu/Shambhala community and who then continued their path in a variety of different ways.
Some of the speakers, continued their path within a subset of the VCTR-founded sangha, while others went to study under the guidance of a number of close dharma teachers. (e.g., Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche, Yongley Mingyur Rinpoche, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyetnse Rinpoche, Ponlop Rinpoche, Khenpo Tsültrim Gyamtso, Kenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, Tinley Norbu Rinpoche, Tendzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, etc.)
Several speakers will also showcase the VCTR-oriented practice and study programs and centers that they have been facilitating (e.g., Profound Treasury Retreats, Three Yanas Intensive Retreats, Chögyam Trungpa Digital Library, etc.), as well as more western style
dharma centers in North America and Europe (The Wisdom Seat and Fabrice Midal). We will conclude with a discussion on the future of Buddhadharma in the West.
Each speaker will, first, briefly describe their path within the Vajradhatu/Shambhala community and how they found their way to their new teacher and sangha, or how they developed and fostered their VCTR-legacy-oriented endeavors or non-guru centered dharma centers. Speakers will also describe the basic outlines of the path as presented by their teacher or in their program/center.
