Join us for a public talk on Buddhism and the Ego with an extended Q & A with Trungram Gyalwa Rinpoche, the head of the Trungram lineage and one of the highest tulkus of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. This lecture will touch on themes related to Sanya Kantarovsky’s exhibition A Solid House.

Trungram Gyalwa Rinpoche has been a key figure in Sanya Kantarovsky’s connection with Buddhist meditation, and this program lends context to Kantarovsky’s work. This marks a rare opportunity for the Aspen community to learn from this world-renowned thinker.
