The Heart Is Noble is a series of teachings by Lama Tsultrim Yeshe based on a book by His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje. The book is based on teachings given to American college students who went to India to study with the Karmapa. The book is 'about our experience of life. The shared ground we all meet on is our shared concern about our lives and our world.’ The chapters address various topics that can be problematic in today’s world: gender identities, consumerism, sustainable compassion and relationships.

This series of teachings will be given on the third Saturday of every month at the Minneapolis Shambhala Center from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. A meal at a local restaurant follows each teaching. Individual interviews are available after that.
