Buddhist Master Chogyal Namkhai Norbu will teach Dzogchen meditation at a Father’s Day retreat June 13-17 in the Hawi area. Namkhai Norbu was born in 1938 in eastern Tibet and was raised Buddhist. He is among the last of a generation of spiritual masters born and trained in Tibet prior to the Chinese takeover.
Recognized as the incarnation of a great master when he was 2, he received the extensive traditional education of a reincarnate lama (tulku) and studied and practiced with multiple great masters in Tibet before the Chinese invasion forced him to leave his family and country.
He eventually became a professor of Tibetan and Mongolian language and literature at the University of Naples, Italy. After 20 years there, he now travels the world teaching, lecturing and talking about his experiences. Namkhai has written more than 100 books on the Tibetan culture and the Dzogchen tradition, a unique Buddhist spiritual teaching.
He is an authority on the history, literature, medicine, astrology, dance, meditation, yoga and Buddhism of Tibet. Look for the PBS presentation: “My Incarnation,” about Namkhai Norbu and his son, airing in June.
