It is with deep sadness that we share news of the passing of Dr. Larry Ward, a senior Dharma teacher, author, and co-founder of the Lotus Institute.

Dr. Ward was a gentle yet powerful voice whose work revolved around personal and collective healing and transformation.  If you are not already familiar with Dr. Ward,  we invite you to listen to this recent podcast, or to seek out the 10 episode podcast series “Behind the News” from last year, which served as a guide to help us all deal with the trauma of current events.  Please also see this article from Lions Roar, and this tribute on the Lotus Institute website.
