Dear Colleagues,

Please note the following speakers (and a change to the timing of one) for the series on Padmasambhava, Uḍḍiyāna, and Tibet, per the webpage linked below.
  1. Paul Thomas will give a lecture on June 18, 2025 at 5pm GMT, entitled "Tripartite Lineages and Cremation Ground Revelations: Crossovers Between Early rDzogs chen and Kaula Śaivism."
  2. Note that my own lecture (John Nemec), scheduled for June 4, 2025, has been postponed and will take place in the Hilary Term of Oxford University, February 11, 2026.  Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Padmasambhava is one of the most important figures in Tibetan Buddhism, yet he remains one of the least understood. To his millions of followers, the ‘Precious Guru’ is the union of the Buddhas of the past, present, and future, transcending time and space.
