Time: 7:00pm 

We are pleased to announce that Gelek Rinpoche from Michigan has kindly accepted to give a “Public Talk” to the Bay Area Tibetan Community, sponsored by Gyuto Vajrayana Center, San Jose.  Everyone is welcome to join us on Saturday, January 17th, 2009, at BFUU(Cedar/ Bonita).
 
Born in Lhasa, Tibet, in 1939, Gelek Rinpoche was recognized as an incarnate lama at the age of four.  Carefully tutored from an early age by some of Tibet’s greatest living masters, Rinpoche gained renown for his powers of memory, intellectual judgment and penetrating insight.  As a small child living in a monk’s cell in a country with no electricity or running water, and little news of the outside world, he had scoured the pictures of torn copies of Life Magazine for anything he could gather about America.  Now Rinpoche brings his life experience and wisdom to both the east and the west.  More about Gelek Rinpoche please visit: Jewelheart.org

Tea and snacks will be served.
