Lama Lekshe brings three decades of practice and a distinctive approach to sharing the profound wisdom of the Karma and Shangpa Kagyu lineages.

Her journey began with early encounters with Buddhism in Tibet, followed by study in Nepal, India, and the United States. She has practiced under the guidance of Venerable Bokar Rinpoche, Venerable Khenchen Lodro Donyo Rinpoche, and Lama Michael Conklin.

Lekshe completed a traditional, cloistered three-year Shangpa Kagyu retreat in 2018. She then completed a year of residential service and cross-tradition training at Great Vow Zen Monastery.

Before dedicating herself fully to dharma teaching, Lekshe served as a university educator and international consultant to post-secondary learning organizations, and so brings curriculum design skills, systems thinking and adult learning expertise to her work in the dharma.
