Karma Trinlay Rinpoche, one of the first Westerners to be recognized as a reincarnate master within Tibetan Buddhism, will be teaching on The Heart Sutra at Bodhi Path Buddhist Centers throughout California January 2015.

The Heart Sutra is one of most profound teachings in Buddhism. It explains the meaning of ultimate view, as well as the profound path that leads one to complete Buddhahood. This teaching directly leads one to the perfect understanding of the meaning of emptiness.  That understood, it then helps one to gain the realization of emptiness, which frees one from all attachment that is the source of suffering. The realization of emptiness is the source of ultimate happiness and joy, cutting the source of suffering from the root.

Trinlay Rinpoche. Born in France to an American mother and French father, at the age of three Trinlay Rinpoche was recognized as the reincarnation of an important teacher by the 16th Karmapa and began his monastic training with Kalu Rinpoche shortly thereafter. He is one of the first Westerners to have received and completed the traditional Tibetan Buddhist education offered to Tulkus, or reincarnate masters. Rinpoche has also pursued Western academic studies in philosophy, history, and philology. He currently lives in Paris with his wife and their dog and divides his time between studies, teaching, and translating.
