 Wisdom Books Newsletter 25th June 2011 : Iss 107The final newsletter for June is our regular monthly round up of all that is new on the site. Our lead title this month is Tulku a film by Gesar Mukpo, son of Chogyam Trungpa and now available on DVD.

It features appearances by the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje, Rabjam Rinpoche, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Lady Diana Mukpo and an extended interview with Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.
