In 2001, back in Canada, I discovered Gampo Abbey. There I met Thrangu Rinpoche during his visit for the consecration of the stupa. I stayed at the Abbey for two years and during this time, I took refuge and bodhisattva vows. Ani Pema was there for two yarnes, and I benefited from those teachings and from personal discussions with her. I had a chance to attend Shedra for one semester, with Lodro Sangpo, Karl Brunnholzl, Andy Karr. I met many great teachers there, including Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche and Mingyur Rinpoche. On a subsequent visit, I started ngondro with Thrangu Rinpoche. | In 2001, back in Canada, I discovered Gampo Abbey. There I met Thrangu Rinpoche during his visit for the consecration of the stupa.

This all began a multi-decade journey of study and practice. Over the years, I travelled to many places to study with Thrangu Rinpoche, including Nova Scotia, Maine, New York, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Sarnath, and Kathmandu. And I’ve had the good fortune to study and practice with many other great teachers, including HH Karmapa 17. (I really should be enlightened by now!) | This all began a multi-decade journey of study and practice.
