"The Yogin & The Monk" with

Andrew Quintman & Charles Manson

conversation on Milarepa and Karma Pakshi's lives, literature, and legacies

(free of charge, in person only)

 Frobisher Auditorium, Barbican Centre  02:45 PM – 03:30 PM

Spiritual and religious heroes in the Buddhism of Tibet and the Himalayas are often either a yogin figure or a monastic figure. Two iconic representatives of these are Milarepa, a revenge murderer who succeeded in enlightened redemption as a yogin, and Karma Pakshi, a ‘chosen child’ who instigated the reincarnate lama (‘Trulku’) traditions of Tibet, exemplified by the Karmapas and the Dalai Lamas. 

Andrew Quintman and Charles Manson, experts in the lives and literature of Milarepa and Karma Pakshi, compare and contrast the lives, biographies, spiritual songs, and the modern legacies of the two heroes.
