Description
Buddhist Monk Lama Jamyang Lodro is a Tibetan Buddhist teacher and founder of the Five Wisdoms Temple, which he opened in June 2016. Born in Tibet and trained at Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, Lama Jamyang devoted many years to deep spiritual practice before beginning to teach.
With a compassionate and individualized approach, he supports others on their path of healing and awakening through the practices of Vajrayana Buddhism and Tibetan Yoga. The temple was established as a space for learning and practicing Dharma, rooted in the wisdom traditions of both inner and outer knowledge.
