In this session, Ven. Thubten Chodron speaks on a variety of subjects, including the different modes of practice outlined in the Tibetan teachings, analytical meditation, debate, maintaining the monastic aspiration, and working with aversion towards external conditions.

A native of the U.S., Ven. Chodron, is particularly qualified to teach Western monastics. She trained in Asia for many years, receiving novice ordination from Kyabje Ling Rinpoche in 1977 and full ordination in Taiwan in 1986. Her teachers include His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tsenzhab Serkong Rinpoche, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and Lama Thubten Yeshe and many others.
In addition to founding Sravasti Abbey, Ven. Chodron is a well-known author and teacher. She has published many books on Buddhist philosophy and meditation, including six volumes (so far) in The Library of Wisdom and Compassion, co-authored with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, with whom she has studied for nearly forty years.   
Ven. Chodron teaches worldwide and is known for her practical (and humorous!) explanations of how to apply Buddhist teachings in daily life. Chodron is also actively involved in prison outreach and interfaith dialogue.
