The Canadian Tibetan community members will be heartily welcoming His Holiness the Sakya Trizin Rinpoche to Toronto for three days Teachings and public audience Program from May 16-19, 2014.
His Holiness the 41st Sakya Trizin is the revered throne holder of the Sakya order of Tibetan Buddhism. He is the 41st patriarch of the Khön lineage which dates back to 1073. He is renowned as an emanation of both Manjushri and Mahasiddha Virupa, the founder of the Lamdre teachings, and also as an incarnation of Apang Terton. He is a brilliant master who manifests profound wisdom and compassion, and his excellent command of English render his teachings particularly beneficial to western students.
