at Columbia University, Co-founder and president of the Tibet House U.S., and President of the American Institute of
Buddhist Studies, a non-profit affiliated with the Center for Buddhist Studies at Columbia University.
Thurman is known as a talented popularizer of the Buddha’s teachings. He is a riveting speaker and an author of many
books on Tibet, Buddhism, art, politics and culture, including The Central Philosophy of Tibet, Circling the Sacred Mountain,
Essential Tibetan Buddhism, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Wisdom and Compassion: The Sacred Art of Tibet, Why The
Dalai Lama Matters: His Act of Truth as the Solution for China, Tibet, and the World, and, most recently, with Sharon
Salzberg, Love Your Enemies.
He was awarded with the prestigious Padma Shri Award in 2020, for his help in recovering India's ancient Buddhist heritage.
In October 2022, during his visit to Dharamshala to participate in the Mind and Life Conference he graciously accepted our
request for an interview with Venerable Geshe Lhakdor la where he talked about how he met with His Holiness the XIV
Dalai Lama, got known about Tibetan Buddhism and his journey since then.
The Dalai Lama "is the best recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize ever!" How true it is. 🌟😊🌟
i mean... thats not hard
Thurman Lak, you are amazing. A great Buddhist scholar of American origin .
Thank you so much for this wonderful discussion from these 2 amazing scholars & practitioners of Buddhism. I could have kept listening to you both for hours, you both have such a wealth of knowledge & experience to impart.

Thank you very much always a great pleasure to listen to Prof. Thurman.
Sir Thurman la, your past life is definitely a great devotion of Buddha so this life your a great Geshela and true friend of his holiness. Your so fortunate too, only few people get open their eyes to study about Buddha philosophy. Thank you and long live.

Mr Thurman,you are a gem of a person,I’ve read few books of yours,I’ve realised that you’ve a great knowledge on Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan culture,,really appreciate it,especially the insight you have on je tsongkhapa’s life is really astonishing,from the core of my heart I thank LTWA for organising such a lovely conversation with the mr Thurman,Tashi delete.
There are better qualified Tibetans. Learn to appreciate our own scholars. Tibetans have learned to worship the white people from India. It's sad.
This interview summarized so many important points. Thank you Geshe Lhakdor. 🙏🏾

Professor Thurman is a practical Buddhist as he has helped release many Tibetans detained in immigration Detention Centre around New York.
Not true.
There is a generic understanding that all laymen may not have been exposed to the great teachings esp. the science, the philosophy, and so on. However there were a few gems lost in this perception and some of us are lucky to have lived amongst them. I am one such third generation well established in the so called material world and bringing up a fourth generation hybrid. With an equal knowledge of inner science as much as the easy external one.
All the way from Tehor Khangste, Kham, the land of Ling Gesar. Someday the sun shall rise on the land of snow lion. Please dont take it practically. You wont see it coming...
do you people still even practice shamata?
We start with Logic first..
@@istenzing yes and the point of logic is to become proficient in it to the point chi jedrak and pramana is understood well enough that it can then be combined with shamata to quickly reach sautrantika path of seeing, allowing you to see inputed objects for the first time
this whole process doesn't take more than 3 or 4yrs to do. too much time is wasted on mere competitive debating on the courtyard which is replacing peoples gaining perfect single-pointed concentration. logic really needs to be followed and accompanied with shamata as quickly as possible, not left apart for a decade or 2
AF Thurman is conventional Buddha.

PLEASE TALK THE KNOWLEDGE ON MELODIES AND SOUNDS THAT ARE MENTION IN YOUR BUDDHISM SCRIPTURES??????
BY LOOKING AT THE TYPE OF MELODIES EARNED, WE CAN COME TO KNOW IF YOU PEOPLE MANAGE TO ESCAPE FROM THE PLATFORM OF MIND, TO BE FREED FROM CYCLE OF BIRTH N DEATHS OR STILL GOT STUCK WITHIN THE MIND, UNDERGOING CYCLE OF BIRTH N DEATHS FOREVER????
I really don't appreciate politics reasoning of Lama Bob. His strictly US perspective is annoying because there is no greater military forced imperialism today then that of US. That being said I don't justify at all communist China and Russian regimes.
china is great, building infrastructure for the entire planet. usa only functions to create slave labor populations and destroy them when they prosper a little too much.
@@backwardthoughts1022 China doesn't build infrastructure, slaves do. There is no slavery like Chinese slavery. You obviously never visit China or witnessed how average construction worker lives
