Buddhist BookChat

The Final Word: Heart Advice on Buddhist Practice stream of the Lama Pema Podcast features conversations with senior Dharma practitioners and teachers. The series explores a simple but profound question: “If you were at the end of your life, what essential practice advice would you offer to students of the Buddha Dharma?” Each episode offers an opportunity for deeply personal reflection on what truly matters in practice: the distilled wisdom that sustains realization and compassion when everything else falls away. Our guest for today’s podcast is Traleg Khandro. Traleg Khandro, long-time student and wife to the late Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche, the ninth, studied Buddhism under Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche’s guidance for many years and has undertaken numerous long meditation retreats. Khandro-la has given commentary on Traleg Rinpoche’s teachings in Australia, America, Europe, the United Kingdom, and South East Asia. At Rinpoche’s request, Khandro-la received traditional Tibetan Yoga training after qualifying as a Hatha Yoga instructor. Khandro-la also has a degree in Psychology. In her professional life she ran a Business Consultancy specialising in business re-engineering. Most recently, Traleg Khandro is the director of Shogam Publications, an Australian-based Dharma book publisher dedicated to making available the teachings of the late Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche, as well as works by contemporary Buddhist authors.
