The Goodman Lectures: The Relatable and Extraordinary Life of Sera Khandro Dewé Dorjé

"As the most prolific historical Tibetan Buddhist woman prior to the 1950s, Sera Khandro Dewé Dorjé presents a candid and nuanced female perspective on what it means to embody Vajrayana Buddhist ideals. The eloquent and subtle Tibetan prose and verse that comprises her long autobiography is as inspiring as it is intensely expressive of a range of relatable human emotions, including rage, grief, love, and humor. In this talk I will share some tastes of a project I am currently immersed in to translate the richness of both the relatable and extraordinary elements of Sera Khandro’s writing from Tibetan into English."

Khyentse Foundation Goodman Lectures | A series of online lectures by leading Buddhist studies scholars.
The Goodman Lectures are organized in honor of long-time Khyentse Foundation friend and advisor Professor Steven D. Goodman (1945-2020), whose enduring vision to make academic talks available to people beyond the classroom inspired KF and our friends in academia to share their knowledge and insight with a more general audience.
The views expressed in the Goodman Lectures are those of the speakers, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Khyentse Foundation.

Thank you for your deep penetrating dive into the world, life, and meaning of Tibet's great Terton, visionary, teacher, mother and woman, Dewai Dorje. You are a blessed human being by bringing this potentially liberating lineage of Buddhist Teachings to beings worlds away from the epicenter of the origin of the teachings, and of their revealer and original propagator, Terton Dewai Dorje, Sera Khandro.

I might be going to china and near the tibet region. What is the name of the region

[@kelleylynch4490]

I'd like to see the source materials translated.

So Sera Khandro dropped out of conformity and orthodoxy and she is now a role model for those rushing to conform and join orthodoxy?
What do academia, institutions, scholarship, foundations, monasticism, organizations, rank and status have to do with liberation or the recognition of your own nature?
As they say, "dont believe the hype."
Look inward 🙏
