Learn the definition of tantra, how tantra works and why it
is a powerful form of practice. Get a broad overview of the
four classes of tantra and learn how to practice simple
Kriya tantric methods. In addition, find out how to
integrate the practices of tantra with lam-rim meditation
for optimal results.
Students must have taken at least four previous Discovering
Buddhism modules or request permission from Ven. Palmo to
attend these classes.
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.
