  • Lopon Jigme Tingdzin

    Lopon Jigme Tingdzin 2

     

    Lopon Jigme Tingdzin is a Buddhist teacher from Ladakh, Himalayas, 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. Gyalwang Drukpa gave Jigme Tingdzin the title “Lopön” in recognition of her accomplishments and scholarship following intensive training – Lopön 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

    Sengey Tsewa or “The Revelry with the Lion” is a particular practice of Prajnaparamita (transcendenatl wisdom).

Ever since then it has been the main pracftice of many yogis of Tibetan Buddhism.
