Conversation with Sarah Jacoby (SI Australia)
Note the new date:
Sunday 18 September 9-10.30 am AEST
Jakob Leschly will be talking online with Sarah Jacoby about studying with her teacher Chatrel Rinpoche, her work on Love and Liberation, her present life as a parent and academic, and bringing the Dharma to a modern audience.
Sarah’s Love and Liberation is a translation of the autobiography of the great female teacher Sera Khandro (1892-1940), which describes the extraordinary life of a fierce practitioner and teacher. Leaving her comfortable Lhasa home at a tender age, Sera Khandro pursued enlightenment in the foreign environment in Golok, Eastern Tibet, where her spirituality blossomed under the guidance of some great visionary yogis yet amidst extremely challenging circumstances. The legacy of her visionary treasure teaching, and her work for the lineage of Dudjom Lingpa, endures to this day, upheld by lamas like the late Chatrel Rinpoche and our teacher Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.
Sarah H. Jacoby is an associate professor in the Religious Studies Department at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
