About the Teacher: Ven. Ngawang Tenzin (Dr. Alex Anderson) began with an ecologist’s understanding of interdependence, with a Ph.d researching the impact of climate change on rainforest biodiversity. The rainforest soon led him to Buddhist meditation, and now ordained as a monk in the Sakya Tibetan tradition, he has also studied and practiced meditation under Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh at Plum Village in France, at Mountain Spring Monastery near Sydney, and in the Burmese Forest tradition at Pa Auk Tawya in Myanmar. Ordained in the Plum Village Order of Interbeing, an engaged Buddhist approach to the bodhisattva path, his practice is informed by Theravadin, Zen, and Vajrayana methods of meditation and mindfulness, as well as Hatha Yoga, a Deep or “Sacred” Ecology, and his love of wild places. He currently lives in Australia, on Gumbaynggirr country on the Dorrigo Plateau, where he has a project to co-create community space for meditation, forest restoration and nature connection: http://www.gaiaforest.org
