Event Description

We are happy to welcome Anam Thubten once again to Olympia. On March 14-16, 2025, Anam Thubten will teach and guide participants in developing three aspects of meditation: mindful attention, open awareness, and loving kindness. By practicing these, we can let go of negative mental patterns and expand our hearts and minds, bringing about joy, peace, and inner freedom. He will also share Buddhist wisdom on working with our thoughts and emotions. Through the essential wisdom of Buddhism and his personal experiences on the spiritual path, Anam Thubten brings alive the timeless teachings and invites everyone to participate.

Anam Thubten grew up in Tibet and at an early age began to practice in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He currently resides in the San Francisco Bay area. He is the founder and spiritual advisor of Dharmata Foundation, teaching widely in the US, Europe, and Asia. Anam Thubten is the author of several books, including Embracing Each Moment, No Self No Problem, and The Magic of Awareness. His most recent books are Citadel of Awareness and Voice of the Primordial Buddha.
