Chapter 9: (1970) "The First Kopan Meditation Course"
Written by Adele Hulse
Narrated by Arwen Brooke
Chapter 9 describes how the lamas began to teach in English, how Lama Yeshe began to acquire land to build Kopan, and how Westerners began to gather at Kopan and devote themselves to the lamas.
𝘉𝘐𝘎 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌 tells the story of Lama Yeshe, how he met Lama Zopa Rinpoche and how they created the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), one of the world's largest Tibetan Buddhist organizations. It begins in Tibet, where Lama was born, and moves to Buxaduar refugee camp in West Bengal, where Rinpoche became his student, to other parts of India and Nepal, and finally to the entire world.
This book is dedicated to you, the reader. If you met Lama during your life,
may you feel his presence here. If you never met Lama, then come with us-
walk up the hill to Kopan and meet Lama Yeshe, as thousands did, without
knowing anything of Buddhism or Tibet. That came later.
