Lama Wangmo first met His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa in 2000, shortly after his escape from Tibet and arrival in India. Since then she has been studying and practising Buddhism under the guidance of Kenting Tai Situpa Rinpoche, who she received her monastic vows from in 2006. Between 2006 and 2010 she completed the traditional three year retreat at the Bodhicharya Meditation Centre in Sikkim, India, under the guidance of Ringu Tulku Rinpoche. After completing the retreat, Tai Situ Rinpoche appointed her as the resident Lama of Palpung Ješa Čöling in Slovenia, which also has a group in Padua, Italy. In 2014, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche named Lama Wangmo the Slovenian representative of Karmapa Foundation Europe. When not teaching in Europe, Lama Wangmo can often be found on retreat at Sherabling Monastery in India.
Lama Wangmo has been visiting Bodhicharya Kent since 2015 and has since given many teachings including running day retreats for us. Some of those teachings can be found here.
