EDWARDS — Up past the gates of Cordillera, on a ridge with sweeping views of the neighborhood, in the basement of a large, immaculately kept home, is where they seek awakening.
To one side of the room is a table with a photo of the Dalai Lama and a photo of the Karmapa, another Buddhist leader. There’s also a small figure of the Buddha of Compassion, and another of the Buddha of Wisdom.
To the other side is a plush sofa where they sit and kneel.
The centerpiece of this sangha, or congregation, is a big flat-screen TV that looks like it could show amazing screenings of, say, Spider-Man 3.
But Jeannine Hallenbeck, the home’s resident, has not installed this home theater for movies. It is the pulpit of the venerable Tenzin L.S. Priyadarshi.
