My teachers
Urgyen Sangharakshita
My main teacher. In 1974 I joined the Order that he founded, and I continue to serve his vision of presenting the principles and practices of Buddhism in a way that speaks to the needs and concerns of people in the 21st century.
Lama Tilmann Lhundrup
Lama Tilmann spent over 16 years guiding men in the traditional 3-year retreats that are done in his Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
Dagyab Kyabgön Rinpoche
Dagyab Rinpoche is an eminent lama of the Gelug School. One of his special concerns is the preservation and further transmission of Buddhist Tantra.
Several others have been of significant help along the way. You will find links to them in my life story, and also in an article I wrote about my contacts with Tibetan Buddhism.
