    Lopon Jigme Tingdzin is a Buddhist teacher from Ladakh, India, and one of the few indigenous female teachers of Buddhism. She became a nun when she was 14 years old and has been a nun for more than 20 years now.  His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa gave Jigme Tingdzin the title “Lopon” in recognition of her accomplishments and scholarship following intensive training. Lopon means that she is a teacher who has mastered all branches of Buddhist philosophy. Her teaching style is filled with warmth, depth, wisdom, and humour.

    On this occasion Lopon will be giving teachings on Green Tara and leading a practice session with us. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
