SOAS Lecture Series: Termas and Tertons - Refreshing the Teachings

with Dr Fabian Sanders

Recorded Friday, 27 January 2012, 18:00 - 20:00

In the Tibetan tradition, time is not conceived of as a linear quantity. Time, as well as space, changes significantly in terms of quality as it proceeds through the ages. Sentient beings living along in the ups and downs of time have different problems and needs. For this reason, in this decadent era of ours, the updating of teachings and methods of realization to the current conditions of different times is carried on in a unique way by certain gifted beings called tertons.

Dr Fabian Sanders
