Robert Thurmanβs brilliance and boundless heart illuminated the wisdom of the Buddha for so many of us. His devotion to the message of his good friend the Fourteenth Dalai Lama changed so many of our lives.
Starting October 13, weβre hosting a series of interactive learning and discussion exploring Prof. Thurmanβs thought, practice his meditations, and share our memories of his teachings. Itβs an opportunity for everyone present to remember Bob, to continue learning from him, and imbibe his stellar energy to save this world.
The series is co-hosted by Columbia Prof. David βKomodoβ Kittay, creator of the βTechnology Religion Futureβ courses at Columbia University, and Chair of the Tibet House Boardβs Executive Committee, and Joe Loizzo, MD, PhD, Harvard-trained psychiatrist, Columbia-trained Buddhist scholar, and founder of Nalanda Institute.
