An internationally known female Buddhist teacher will be in Honolulu next week for a series of talks and a seminar on "Walking the Path of the Buddha: A Guide for Individuals in Our Day and Time."
Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche, a teacher in the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, will speak at 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Sept. 8. Registration begins at 6 p.m. The cost is $20 for each lecture. The seminar will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. next Saturday and Sept. 7. The cost is $45 for one day, $80 for the weekend or $140 for the entire series.
The talks, sponsored by the Kagyu Thegchen Ling Tibetan Meditation Center in Nuuanu, will be held at the Toho No Hikari headquarters at 3510 Nuuanu Pali Drive. Information is available by calling the center, 595-8989, and by visiting the Web page www.ktlhonolulu.org.

She is the author of "This Precious Life: Tibetan Buddhist Teachings on the Path to Enlightenment." She was born in India, the daughter of the late Mindrolling Trichen, former head of the Nyingma branch of Tibetan Buddhism.
