Take the time to investigate the role of the teacher on the
spiritual path: the need for a teacher, the qualities of a
teacher, the qualities of a student, and how to relate to a
teacher for greatest benefit in one's spiritual
life. Consider the challenges we face when thinking of
entering into a "guru-disciple" relationship and learn how
to overcome these skillfully.
This program is offered in collaboration with
Land of Medicine Buddha.
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.
