The Interreligious Council of San Antonio will meet on Monday, January 12, 2015, at 6:00 p.m. at 12500 N.W. Military Drive at the Campus for the San Antonio Community in the Federation Board Room on the upper level near the elevators.
Our program will be a presentation by Dr. Jan Puckett on teachings of death & dying according to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. These teachings, known as the “bardo” teachings, were brought to the Himalayan region in the 8th Century by the renowned Buddhist teacher Padmasambhava.
Dr. Puckett has been a practicing Buddhist for 30 yrs and is director of Rigpe Dorje Center, a meditation center in San Antonio founded by Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, a teacher of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It is an affiliate of Rigpe Dorje Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization that supports various projects in India and Nepal, including schools for underprivileged children, medical and eye clinics, homes for indigent elders, retreat centers, and many other projects of social and cultural benefit.
