Hookham
is a Buddhist teacher who has trained for over fifty years in the Mahamudra and Dzogchen traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Her teachers include Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, HH the Sixteenth Karmapa, and Tsultrim Gyatso Rinpoche. She has spent over twelve years in meditation retreat. Lama Shenpen produced a seminal study on buddha nature doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism, for which she was awarded a PhD from Oxford University, and her doctorate was published as a book, titled The Buddha Within. She lives in North West Wales, spending most of her time in semi-retreat and working with her students and on her writing.
Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references (page 184) and index.
Summary:
The role of the guru in Buddhism based on Lama Shenpen's experience as both a student and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism for over 50 years. She writes of the opportunities and challenges facing modern Dharma students in the West who wish to study with a teacher.
