Lineup
Co-Founder & former Buddhist Monk, Tamkey
Tamkey brings a wealth of experience and practical knowledge to the Lojong Meditation school, having studied Tibetan Buddhism extensively since the age of 16, originally heralding from the Amdo region of Tibet. At 19, he took the long journey by foot across the Himalayas to Dharamsala to be near HH the Dalai Lama, and to further his monastic studies in Buddhist Tantra. There he became a scholar & published several books on Buddhist Philosophy. He taught Buddhist history, philosophy and practice to the younger monks at Kirti Monastery, and was the editor of the Monastery publications. Tamkey also studied Tibetan Traditional Medicine at Chagpori and is qualified in Tibetan massage. In 2012 Tamkey made the decision to become a layperson. With both extensive monastic knowledge and experience living within the Western culture, he’s perfectly positioned to understand and explain Buddhist teachings in an accessible, no fuss way. It’s his goal to help students use these teachings daily, to bring purpose, contentment and awareness to themselves and others.
Venerable Ngawang
Venerable Ngawang was born in Lhasa, Tibet. At the age of 16 he chose to ordain as a monk and began his studies at Drepung Monastery in Tibet. In 1989, he made the journey from Tibet to India to continue his training at Drepung Monastery in South India. Venerable Ngawang arrived in Australia in 2019. As a chant master, he is regularly called upon by Tibetan families in Victoria to lead traditional prayers, rituals, and rites associated with births, deaths, and holy days. We feel deeply fortunate that he has graciously accepted our request to share his skills in transmitting the Medicine Buddha chant for this practice session.
Co-Founder & host Claire Spencer
Claire Spencer (Co-Founder, Lojong Meditation) has practised Tibetan Buddhism for 25+ years, including study, living and multiple pilgrimages to Dharamsala. Living with Stage 4 cancer, she draws on these teachings every day and brings a warm, grounded Western lens as host of the day.
