The March 2007 program featured:
CREATING A TIBETAN PURE LAND IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: AN INTERVIEW WITH PEMA NAMDOL THAYE
PEMA NAMDOL THAYE is an accomplished painter and sculptor. He was trained in East India by his uncle, Lama Gonpo Tenzing, regarded as one of Tibet’s living national treasures. Since the age of 15 Pema apprenticed with his uncle and now, 25 years later, is a master in his own right. He was invited to Los Angeles in 2000 to create a 3-Dimensional mandala dedicated to universal peace, the first of its kind in the West, at the request of Lama Chodak Gyatso, and has returned to develop a 4-story monument–Zangdokpalri–the copper coloured mountain abode of Guru Rinpoche (also known as Padmasambhava) who Tibetans refer to as the Second Buddha. Pema is currently living at Ari Bhöd, the American Foundation for Tibetan Cultural Preservation, a non-profit dedicated to preserving the sacred cultural heritage of Tibet, located in Tehachapi, CA.
