Admin:KTD Jessica McNally 2015 Application + (My initial path to Buddhism was a windy on … My initial path to Buddhism was a windy one, and it is hard for me to even point to where it started. I recall having the thought ÃIÃm a BuddhistÃ since I was a small child, though I didnÃt find a teacher and sangha until many years later. My first meditation instructor was my dad, who gave me simple instructions in meditation when I was nine-years-old. I asked for a meditation cushion for my tenth birthday. Unfortunately, I didn't use it much through my teenage years, although I did start reading books on Buddhism. In 2007 and 2008, at Stanford University, I took a two-semester Introduction to Religion course which offered a several week section on Buddhism, as well as a course called ÃTibetan Ritual Life.Ã This was my first real introduction to Buddhist teachings. Stanford offered a meditation course led by an organization called Art of Living, which helped me start a daily practice. Eventually, in 2009, my friend and I started our own weekly meditation group, which we hosted for two years. A friend in the sitting group brought me to nearby Kannon Do Zen Center, and where I started going occasionally.Then in 2011, at 23-years-old, I moved out to the east coast and discovered Zen Mountain Monastery (ZMM). I went to the introductory weekend, and then started going to the week-long meditation intensives (sesshin) every month. Within a few months I moved in. I lived at ZMM from January 2012 through March 2015. The abbot during that time, and my root teacher, was Konrad Ryushin Marchaj Sensei. Living at ZMM I had the opportunity to study with many teachers, and participate in a retreat nearly every week. Notably, I was able to take several retreats with Acharya Judy Lief, who introduced me to the Vajrayana and teachings of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. During 2014 I started corresponding with Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo through letters, as she has been a great inspiration to me. I was able to take two retreats with her during her last US tour, and also take the refuge and lay precept vows with her. Over the last couple years it was becoming increasingly clear to me I wanted to study Tibetan Buddhism, and wanted to do three-year retreat. After the sudden departure of my teacher Ryushin Sensei from ZMM in January 2015, it felt like the door opened for me to leave and explore Tibetan Buddhism. I asked Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo where she recommended I should do three-year retreat, and she said Karme Ling/ KTD. So in January 2015 I met with Lama Lodhro Lama and Khenpo Khartar Rinpoche, and got permission to do three-year retreat and start Ngöndro practice. I moved out of ZMM in March 2015 so that I could focus on preparing for retreat and study more closely with Khenpo Khartar Rinpoche.more closely with Khenpo Khartar Rinpoche.)

I began having mystical experiences I couldn't explain and read widely trying to figure out what was happening to me. Evelyn Underhill's "Mysticism" and James' "Varieties of Religious Experience" were eye openers but still didn't satisfy. Only when I encountered Huang Po was there a click. During a poetry reading at the public library I had a vision of a perfect blue Buddha in a blue bindu as high as the ceiling but didn't think much about it. I read Dogen Zenji's "On the Merits of Becoming a Monk" and told my thereapist Marion Hendrics (now head of the Focusing Institute who it turned out had studied with Namkhai Norbu) that I was considering becoming a monk and remember her shock.In college a Chinese translation of Nagarjuna's works into English became my bible and I met Geshe Lhundrup Sopa at UW Madison where I audited part of his intro to Buddhism. But I couldn't find any good books on Tibetan Buddhism and lost interest. Then, on the Student Year in Nepal Program 1985-6, I attended the Kopan Course and stayed after to read in the library where I encountered Longchenpa's "Wonderment" and determined I was a Nyingmapa. I met Sakya Korchak Tulku and began to learn from him spending time almost every day together; later, Thinley Norbu suggested to me that he was likely a Maha Siddha when I expressed qualms about his unconventional behavior. Korchak Tulku had studied under the previous Sakya Trichen, with brothersDagchen Rinpoche and Sakya Thrinley (his tutor).
