Glenn will speak on:
Visual Arts from Central Asia: Tibet & Mongolia
Glenn H. Mullin is a Tibetologist, Buddhist writer, translator of
classical Tibetan literature, and teacher of Tantric Buddhist
meditation. Glenn, who has lived in the Indian Himalayas between 1972
and 1984 studying philosophy, literature, meditation and yoga, is the
author of over 20 books on Tibetan Buddhism.
Many of these (published by Snow Lion Publications, Ithaca, NY) focus
on the lives and works of the early Dalai Lamas. Some of his other
titles include Tsongkhapa's Six Yogas of Naropa and The Practice of
Kalachakra (Snow Lion); Death and Dying: The Tibetan Tradition
(Arkana/Viking Penguin); Mystical Verses of a Mad Dalai Lama (Quest
Books); The Mystical Arts of Tibet (Longstreet Press); and The Fourteen
Dalai Lamas, as well as The Female Buddhas (Clear Light Books).
He has also worked as a field specialist on three Tibet-related films
and five television documentaries, and has co-produced five audio
recordings of Tibetan sacred music.
In 2002 his book The Fourteen Dalai Lamas was nominated for the
prestigious NAPRA award for best book, and in 2004 his book The Female
Buddhas won a Best Book Award from Foreword Magazine.
The author will also be available for books signing on the night.
