Fireside Chat on the Feminine Aspect of Buddhism with Khentrul Rinpoche and Judith Simmer-Brown
Fireside Chat on the Feminine Aspect of Buddhism with Khentrul Rinpoche and Judith Simmer-Brown
Khentrul Rinpoche and Judith Simmer-Brown sit down for a fireside chat on the feminine aspect of Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism has for centuries been dominated by male Guru figures in patriarchal society. This lead women in Tibet to pray to be reborn a man and many women in western society question whether there are only male buddhas? This is far from the nature of what is actually taught in Dharma. In Kalachakra Tantra we have the ultimate union of both the feminine and masculine aspect both of which we need to realize enlightenment.

YBF Sovereignty Summit
YBF Sovereignty Summit
We are using the word Sovereignty to define our own personal authority over ourselves and the responsibility that it demands from each of us as individuals to self-govern in high integrity with a shared community Ethos. The day will consist of eight 3-person panels with 1 moderator, with a round-table lunch in the afternoon. The “WHY” for this event is to bring together the local movers and shakers and our broader audience of supporters to discuss the importance of each of these topics as it directly relates to us as a community. It will be community-led and crafted around 8 key topics.
