Charles G. “Chuck” Lief, who was announced last year as the new president of Naropa University, will be formally inaugurated Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. MST.

Lief, who has been involved with the Naropa University community since it was founded in 1974, says that as president, he wants to “amplify, honor, and celebrate Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s founding vision, as well as re-energize our commitment to creating an ecumenical and diverse community of students, faculty, and staff. This was at the heart of Trungpa Rinpoche’s vision for Naropa.”

Chögyam Trungpa founded Naropa with the idea of bringing “the inheritance of Buddhist methodology into our system of education.”

In the video below, Lief talks about his goals for Naropa and it what it means for the university to stay true to its roots.

Can you help us at a critical time?

COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering, uncertainty, fear, and strain to the world.

Our sincere wish is that these Buddhist teachings, guided practices, and stories can be a balm in these difficult times. Over the past month, over 400,000 readers like you have visited our site, reading almost a million pages and streaming over 120,000 hours of video teachings. We want to provide even more Buddhist wisdom but our resources are strained. Can you help us?

No one is free from the pandemic’s impact, including Lion’s Roar. We rely significantly on advertising and newsstand sales to support our work — both of which have dropped precipitously this year. Can you lend your support to Lion’s Roar at this critical time?
