Glenn Mullin is a Tibetologist, Buddhist writer, translator of classical Tibetan literature, and teacher of Tantric Buddhist meditation. He lived in the Indian Himalayas between 1972 and 1984, and studied philosophy, literature, meditation, yoga, and the enlightenment culture under thirty-five of the greatest living masters of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Glenn is the author of over 20 books on Tibetan Buddhism, founded and directed the Mystical Arts of Tibet, and has curated a number of important Tibetan art exhibitions.
SIX YOGAS OF NAROPA

Suggested donation at the door for all three sessions: $40 Jewel Heart members, $50 non-members. If you cannot afford this, please come anyway and give what you can. No one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
The SIX YOGAS OF NAROPA are perhaps the most widespread approach to completion stage tantric practice in Tibet. Originally transmitted from Naropa to his Tibetan disciple Marpa, the lineage was quickly absorbed by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
Glenn, who has published two books on the tradition, originally received the oral transmission of the Six Yogas as part of his studies and training in Dharamsala between 1972 and 1992. The workshop is open to everyone, although anyone wishing to seriously pursue the practice should eventually seek out the empowerments associated with the tradition.
TRANSMISSION AND TRANSLATION OF BUDDHISM IN THE WEST
Sunday, March 9: 11:00am – 12:00pm
This talk is open to all free of charge. It can also be watched online at www.jewelheart.org
The transmission of Buddhism as a living enlightenment legacy is often called “Cho-kyi-khorlo-korwa.” meaning “Turning the Wheel of Dharma,” which means that knowledge of the practices for invoking enlightenment, as well as the according realizations or wisdoms that are produced, are like a wheel that rolls from one generation to another. It passed in this way in India, and then rolled from Indian holders to Tibetans. It is presently in the process of rolling from Tibetan masters to Western ones. The success of this experiment depends on both translation and transmission — the outer words and the inner realizations of the enlightenment tradition.
