Pema Khandro will be a presenter at the International Buddhist Women’s Conference. 15th Sakyadhita International Conference

“Contemporary Buddhist Women:
Contemplation, Cultural Exchange & Social Action”

June 22 to 28, 2017
University of Hong Kong

Pema Khandro’s presentation will be:

Becoming VajraYogini
Buddhist Identity & Self Esteem Without Self

This will focus on an psychological and philosophical background for why Identity is important in Buddhist thought and especially for Buddhist Women. Since Buddhism’s primary teaching is non-self – that people have no fixed, essential self – people often assume this contradicts the need for an identity altogether. However there are many examples in Tibetan Buddhism in which psychological identity can be quite healthy and even robust, even while maintaining the notion of non-self.
