About the event Clinica Color Mind, in collaboration with Rabten Jampa Ling Romania and Herald Publishing House, is organising a special event dedicated to those interested in mental health and inner balance: „Mental health from the perspective of the Buddhist tradition - a dialogue with the venerable Gonsar Rinpoce”. The event will take place on Friday, 26 September 2025, at the National Library of Romania (Eliade Room, UU-22), starting at 6:30 pm, and will be moderated by Dr Ana Maria Iordache, psychiatrist and psychotherapist. Theme The Venerable Gonsar Rinpoce will give a lecture on how the Buddhist tradition approaches the functioning of mind and consciousness.

The event is addressed in particular to mental health professionals (psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, coaches), but also to all those interested in introspection, personal development, applied spirituality and the relationship between science and tradition. The lecture will be followed by a question and answer session allowing participants to enter into direct dialogue with the master. The lectures will be in English with interpretation into Romanian.
