Ven. Gyalten Palmo
Having a long-held interest in the mind's capacity for transformation, Ven. Gyalten Palmo left home to spend 4½ months in India with an enlightened master in the late 1970's. Ven. Palmo started studying Tibetan Buddhism at the turn of the century. She has studied closely under Ribur Rinpoche, Choden Rinpoche, Geshe Ngawang Dakpa and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. She went on to complete the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition's (FPMT) Basic Program coursework and retreats.  In 2012, she was ordained by Choden Rinpoche at Sera Jey Monastic University in India.  As an FPMT-registered teacher, she has been teaching Discovering Buddhism regularly since 2013.  Ven. Palmo loves studying and sharing the Dharma with others.

Registration at the Door: $15 per class or $90 for the entire course (eight classes) if paid in full on the first day of class.  Members of a certain level get courses for free (see the membership program for details).

Your generous donations are essential for the continuation of programs like this. No one turned away due to lack of funds. Please contact us to make arrangements.
