Anam Thubten Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist lama rooted in the teachings of the Nyingma lineage, returns to Arkansas for public talks in both Fayetteville and Little Rock and a weekend retreat in Little Rock, sponsored by the Ecumenical Buddhist Society of Little Rock.
 
Anam Thubten Rinpoche was born in Tibet and undertook Buddhist training in the Nyingma tradition at an early age. Soon after entering the monastery he was recognized as the reincarnation of Anam Lama. He has studied with many dharma teachers in Tibet. He has been teaching in the West since the 1990’s and currently serves as the spiritual advisor and dharma teacher for the Dharmata Foundation. Anam Thubten is also a writer, Buddhist scholar and a lover of the true dharma.
 
Friday, April 18th, 7:00-8:30 p.m. - Little Rock
Public Talk: “Spiritual Discourse”
Buddhist teacher, Anam Thubten, is going to give heart to heart dialogue, and invite everyone to join in an exploration into the realm of truth, which is always for us. In this meeting, he will challenge every core belief, which has chained us to our misery for far too long. Freedom is knocking on our door.

Sat., April 19th to Sun., April 20th - Little Rock
Retreat Teaching: “Bodhichitta”
The moment we realize who we are, we begin to live a life of joy and freedom. Many of us have been holding on to a mistaken version of ourselves. Once the false self is deconstructed, what emerges from that is our true nature beyond all conditions. The path leading us there is called prajnaparamita, which means transcendent wisdom. This is the heart of Buddha’s teaching. Anam Thubten is going to introduce the timeless wisdom in a most direct and experiential manner. He invites everyone to go through a powerful inner transformation during this retreat.

Monday, April 21 - Fayetteville
