Tibetan Buddhism in the Midwest

Dear educators,

Losar, the Tibetan New Year, lands on February 21 this year. It's a great reason to explore the all-new Wisconsin Biographies resource on Geshe Lhundub Sopa, who brought the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism to the Midwest!

Want to know more about Tibet and Buddhism before teaching with the new biography? Join PBS Wisconsin Education for a webinar to build your background knowledge.

PBS Wisconsin Education is offering loads of learning opportunities this winter, like the aka Teacher LIVE record episode on February 20! Be sure to follow our Facebook page to get the latest on more upcoming events.

Happy exploring!
