Lama Shenpen is an Englishwoman who has practised in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for over 30 years – both in India and the UK. Her root teacher is Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, who has authorised her to teach Mahamudra – the highest teaching of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.
She is the founder of the Awakened Heart Sangha and author of The Buddha Within and There’s More to Dying than Death.
I first attended retreats at her centre in North Wales in 2004, and found her approach to Mahamudra and Dzogchen very helpful. She is a very generous teacher, whose Buddha Nature approach is now a strong influence on my own teaching.
