"Tara Choying Lhamo, an Austrian Buddhist who has been living in retreat for more than 20 years—12 of which were spent in Milarepa’s caves in Lapchi, Nepal—is now sharing her experience and insights. Lhamo is now in New Zealand, following a 10-day tour of Australia. Last year, she was presenting in London. Lhamo is a student of Sonam Jorphel Rinpoche, His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche and Garchen Rinpoche—all masters of the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

Then she entered retreat in the high mountain caves of Nepal." Läs hela artikeln här: https://www.vajrayanaworld.com/long-bits/tara-choying-lhamo
