In her first talk for the Wisdom Center, Loppon will talk about what awakening (commonly known as enlightenment) is, what prevents us from finding our way there, and the practices those regarded as awakened in Tibet all had in common. Taking a non-sectarian approach, she will address both our modern doubts and concerns about karma, rebirth, and gurus and the joy and satisfaction that comes from accomplishing a focused progression of varied practices.

 

Her new book is called Clearing the Way to Awakening: a Nine-Step Practice from Tibetan Buddhism. You can find it through all the usual online booksellers and copies will be available at the event.

About Loppon Yudron Wangmo

Founder and Director

Yudron Wangmo began studying and practicing Tibetan Buddhism in the early 1990's, balancing in-depth practice and service to her Tibetan teachers with her work as a nurse, nurse practitioner, and healer.

 

Later, she completed lengthy meditation retreats, including the traditional three-year three-month group retreat in California under the guidance of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche. Her main mentors have been Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, Lama Pema Dorje Rinpoche, and Adzom Paylo Rinpoche. 

 

Lama Pema Dorje Rinpoche officially authorized her to teach in 2017. In 2020, Ngakpa Karma Lhundup Rinpoche asked her to teach Vajrayana gradually, starting with the Heart Essence of Dakini, a treasure of Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, later Throma Nakmo, and always Guru Rinpoche.
