Ven. Angie has recently returned from an extended pilgrimage
to the “Heart” of the Himalayas, Lawudo Cave and Retreat
Center in Nepal. This is the sacred place where her main
teacher, Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the Spiritual Director
of FPMT, engaged in deep spiritual practice spanning 2
lifetimes. Through stories and slideshows, Ven. Angie will
share the amazing history of Lawudo and Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s
connection with it. She will share the highlights of her
journey in the context of pilgrimage becoming a
transformative spiritual practice.
After the talk, we will gather for a potluck lunch. Please
bring a vegetarian dish to share.
Born in Scotland, in 1970, Venerable Angie
Muir obtained a Bachelor's Degree in
1992. Feeling disillusioned with her prospective career
path and life ahead of her, she left Scotland and combined
travelling with work in Asia for 3 years until in 1995 she
felt a calling to go to India to explore meditation and
find her life path. Within a few months she “had the
incredible fortune due to some previous karma” to discover
Tibetan Buddhism, and meet her main spiritual teacher
Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche (of almost 30 years) and become
ordained.
Venerable Angie has been a Buddhist nun for over 25
years. During this time, she served at Lama Zopa
Rinpoche's residences in the U.S. for 13 years. In
addition to doing various personal retreats, she has
offered service, teaching, and leading meditation at other
FPMT centers.
