About the Presenters:
Khenpo Jampa Donden was born in Tibet, in the south central region called Lhoka, and was ordained as a monk at the age of fourteen. He left Tibet when he was eighteen, and traveled to India where he studied at the Dzongsar monastic college for ten years. He graduated with the highest degree of “Khenpo,” and not only proved himself to be an extraordinary student and debater, but also a remarkable teacher. He was then asked to teach at the prestigious Dzongsar monastic college, until 2000 when he was invited to teach at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling in Nepal, where since 2002, he has concurrently taught monks at the monastic college there, and international students and seekers from around the world who study at the Rangjung Yeshe Institute. He has taught at Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche’s center in Austria and was recently invited as a visiting lecturer to East Tennessee State University. Khenpo Jampa specializes in mind-training and embodying the teachings he transmits. Click here for more information
