The Milwaukee Shambhala Center Invites You To Enlightened Society, Shambhala, and the Kalachakra Tantra.
A Weekend Program with Dr. Robin Kornman
February 9, 10, and 11, 2007
Enlightened society is a term Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche coined to describe the culture that manifests in society around the path of meditation. The individual seeking enlightenment is trained to be a culturally well-rounded person who is engaged in the arts, contemplation, politics, the sciences of heaven and earth, and the bodhisattva path of devotion to the benefit of others as ways to manifest an enlightened world in everyday life. In this weekend program, Dr. Kornman will examine the scriptural origins of these Shambhala teachings, particularly in the Kalachakra Tantra and other Asian Buddhist traditions. Robin Kornman, Ph.D., is a professor of comparative literature, specializing in Eastern and Western epics. He is currently translating the Tibetan Gesar of Ling Epic into English, and is one of the original students of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
