In response to the global pandemic, the Tara Mandala Network launches. The online network provides a unique space for people to come together for collective engagement, support, and community building among global sangha members. The network provides in-depth information regarding ongoing practice offerings, upcoming teachings, calls to practice, lunar celebrations, what is happening on the Tara Mandala land, upcoming teachings and gatherings with Lama Tsultrim, and much more. 

Lama Tsultrim and the Tara Mandala Board form the Prajna Council, the wisdom body guiding the practice and programmatic vision. Council members include Dorje Lopön Chandra Easton, Tulku Ösel Dorje, and Magyu Lopön Charlotte Rotterdam.

Lama Tsultrim begins traveling and giving teachings and she holds the first Sahja Spontaneous Wisdom Retreat in Costa Rica.

Lama Tsultrim holds a virtual retreat with Anam Thubten on the teachings and practice of Prajñaparamita, the Perfection of Wisdom. These profound teachings are at the heart of discovering our true nature. They are the root of the teachings of the great 11th-century female teacher Machig Labdrön to whom both Lamas are deeply connected. 

Lama Tsultrim and Osho Zenju Earthlyn Manuel discuss what it means to call upon the protectors of the world, the dark mothers, in these times. This is the first dialogue in a new series called In Conversation, talks between Lama Tsultrim and other esteemed wisdom teachers.

Karla Jackson-Brewer gives the first Martin Luther King, Jr. online Dharma talk. Are you With Me? centers on social justice and racial equity in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday celebration. Karla presents the voices of revolutionary activists from African diasporic communities who challenged the limitations of structural oppression and challenges us to push through our fear, anger, and difficult emotions in order to bring about true transformation within ourselves and commit to making change in the outside world.

A’dzom Gyalse Tulku Rinpoche gives the first in a series of teachings on Longchenpa’s text known as Chöying Dzöd. The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena is a masterpiece that synthesizes more than six hundred years of the Nyingma (“Ancients”) spiritual tradition. Chöying Dzöd focuses on the Dzogchen (Great Perfection) practice of trekchö, (break-through), in which delusion is cut through, and the primordially pure nature of mind is revealed, bringing the practitioner to effortless liberation.
