Monday Meditation with Venerable Tenzin Chogkyi
Part of the power of Buddhist practices is calming our mind through meditation. Learning Buddhist concepts is helpful for our daily lives and helps us intellectually understand our world, and meditation helps us experience those concepts directly. Meditation is not always easy, but like any other skill it can be practiced and mastered. Join Venerable Tenzin Chogkyi as she leads us through guided meditations based on the teachings from Tuesday nights. Feel free to drop in Monday nights or come in both nights each week to learn something new and deepen your practice!

Venerable Tenzin Chogkyi is a Buddhist nun, activist and popular Buddhist retreat leader and teacher. She loves bridging the worlds of Buddhist thought, current affairs, and the latest research in the field of positive psychology. As well as being passionate about her spiritual practice she also cares deeply about prison reform, animal rights, equal rights for all and bringing an end to human trafficking and other modern forms of slavery.
Venerable Tenzin first became interested in meditation after reading Be Here Now and Autobiography of a Yogi in the early 1970s. She describes her spiritual path over the next 20 years as “meandering and haphazard” until she bought a one-way ticket to India in early 1991 with the intention of meeting His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In the end, she became a student not only of His Holiness, but also of Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche and Lama Zopa Rinpoche during the year she spent studying at Tushita Meditation Centre in Dharamsala, India and Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal. She also completed several long meditation retreats over a six-year period.
