About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Pema is a seasoned meditation teacher and yogi with over a decade of dedicated practice in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly within the Dzogchen tradition. He has studied under esteemed teachers, including Dzongsar Khyentse, Dzogchen Ponlop, and his guru, the great Yogi Loppon Jigme Rinpoche.
The loss of both parents deeply affected Pema in childhood, sparking a profound desire to understand life’s meaning. Initially, he found solace in music, leading to a successful career. Yet despite his achievements, a persistent emptiness remained, ultimately plunging him into a deep depression.
At his lowest point, on the brink of despair, Pema realized that all thoughts and emotions are simply essence-less projections of the mind. Renouncing material attachments, he set out on a global journey to explore the nature of mind itself. Over the years, he studied with renowned Buddhist masters and yogis, spending extended periods in intensive meditation retreats.
Pema’s teachings are deeply rooted in tradition yet remain highly practical, offering insights shaped by his life experiences and personal wisdom.
