A Buddhist Theory of Mental Transformation with Thupten Jinpa

Each spring, The Frederick P. Lenz Foundation for American Buddhism and Naropa University host an evening lecture with the visiting Lenz Scholar. This year, we welcome Thupten Jinpa.
Thupten Jinpa is a former Tibetan monk who holds a BA in philosophy and a PhD in religious studies, both from Cambridge University. Since 1985, he has been the principal English translator to H.H. the Dalai Lama and has translated and edited numerous books by the Dalai Lama, including the New York Times Bestsellers Ethics for the New Millennium and The Art of Happiness. Jinpa’s own publications include works in Tibetan, English translations as well as books, including A Fearless Heart: How the Courage to be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives and Tsongkhapa: A Buddha in the Land of Snows. Jinpa is the general editor of The Library of Tibetan Classics series, which includes his own translations of Mind Training: The Great Collection, The Book of Kadam: The Core Texts, and Tsongkhapa’s Illuminating the Intent. He is the main author of CCT (Compassion Cultivation Training), an eight-week formal program developed at Stanford University, and co-founder and president of the Compassion Institute. He is the Chair of Mind and Life Institute, founder of the Institute of Tibetan Classics, and an adjunct professor at the School of Religious Studies at McGill University.
