Buddhadharma in the West

Extremely rare is the individual who has witnessed the historical arc of the development of Buddhism in the West - up close and personal. Sam Bercholz has lived this arc not only as an observer, but as a businessman, husband, father, student, administrator, immigrant, yogi, and dharma friend to many. Join us for this final presentation of the series to celebrate our good fortune as Sons and Daughters of Noble Family. Sons & Daughters Series A Lecture Series: Over the course of 2024, join more than twenty individuals who began their Buddhist path as students of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, or within the Vajradhatu / Shambhala community, and who have continued walking the path of dharma in an amazing variety of ways. Guest speakers will describe how they entered the path, how they continued their dharma training (within or without the Vajradhatu / Shambhala organization), what teachers they have studied with, and what kinds of training they sought. They will also speak about what aspects of the dharma they have been emphasizing in their own roles as students and/or teachers and will leave ample time for questions and discussion. Through this sharing of experiences, participants can explore the richness of our greater Vajradhatu / Shambhala extended dharma family, learn more about close teachers and other thriving dharma communities.
