dalai lama age Why is Tibetan Culture the Culture of Enlightenment? Robert A.F. Thurman Embodied Philosophy

As the first westerner to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist monk, Robert Thurman has worked tirelessly to support His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso’s efforts to re-establish and preserve Tibetan Buddhism in exile. As part of that effort, he co-founded Tibet House U.S. in 1987 at the request of His Holiness. In this talk, he speaks about the history of these efforts, and discusses how vital the preservation of this unique wisdom system is to the world. In presenting the history of Tibet, he demonstrates how Buddhism transformed a culture of warring nomads into a culture primarily devoted to the cultivation and dissemination of peace, vitality, and wisdom. He speaks about the relevance of such a trajectory in the modern time and argues that this example must remain in contemporary discourse to help the world emerge out of the culture of war that dominates the current (modern) political landscape. His vision of how key elements of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, Tibetan medicine, and Tibetan art can offer an elixir to a world out of balance is as inspiring as it is timely.

A profound wisdom exiled from its historical homeland is inspiring a renaissance of thought throughout the world’s spiritual communities.

Tibetan Buddhism is unique among the many schools of Buddhist thought. For centuries, Tibetan Buddhists held esteemed residencies in the great Indian Buddhist Monastic Universities and translated the cream of those Buddhist “Libraries of Alexandria” into a unique collection as well as continuing the oral practice traditions from the great Siddhas during the full flowering of Indic Buddhism from 600 to 1100 CE.

The schools of Tibetan Buddhism were subsequently developed in a post-Imperial cultural environment where militarism was radically decreased and approximately eighty percent of the population was involved in articulating and supporting the Dharma – or in supporting those who were studying such teachings.

This atmosphere provided Buddhist practitioners in Tibet an opportunity to deeply consider the foundations of Buddhist thought. Many erudite thinkers added their voices to the Buddha’s words, and there was a significant and far-reaching flowering of Mahayana teachings over the course of several centuries that informed Buddhist philosophy in a wide variety of scholarly and lay contexts.

The canon of work that emerged from these pursuits addresses some of the most important mysteries that we, as humans have always faced – and offers a repository of knowledge that can help us confront the challenges of the modern existential dilemma we are confronting today.

His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama has been instrumental in creating structures where this wisdom has, in large measure, been preserved in spite of the challenges of the Chinese occupation of Tibet that began in 1959 and continues to the present. He has worked tirelessly to save this valuable wisdom in spite of the destruction of Tibet’s schools, monasteries and cultural institutions and the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Tibetans.

The question now is: How do we continue to preserve this wisdom? How do we meet the challenge of keeping these teachings in the forefront of spiritual inquiry for philosophers, thinkers, teachers and spiritual seekers so that the world does not lose this knowledge?

This online conference seeks to answer these questions and more. Join us as renowned Tibetan Buddhist practitioners come together with esteemed scholars to explore the profound insights and perennial teachings of one of the world’s great wisdom traditions.
