What makes someone a Buddhist?
A Buddhist is a person who takes refuge in the Buddha, the
Dharma, and the Sangha — the "Three Jewels." Find out more
about the Three Jewels, what taking refuge actually means,
and why the Three Jewels are suitable objects of refuge. We
will also explore the essential practices of refuge.
Everyone is welcome!
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 at Tse Chen Ling Center in
San Francisco since 2013. Ven. Palmo loves studying and
sharing the Dharma with others.
