Gelek Rimpoche - tomorrow at Jewel Heart - Cleveland
This is going to be a huge weekend at Jewel Heart; Gelek Rimpoche will be here for a three-part teaching, with plenty of time for questions and interaction. What a great opportunity. I asked David, one of the Dharma coordinators if the visit was related to the anniversary of the uprising in 1959, but he said it was just coincidence.
I met Rimpoche several times last year; once at Jewel Heart and again when he did a presentation at Unity Church. I like that he completely discourages Tibetan posturing; no genuflections, no prostrations, etc. Just straight Buddhism, with a simple presentation and an impeccable lineage.
There will be much more to say after the weekend is over.
