Wendy Hobbs

Director
"I would like to introduce myself as a new director of Milarepa Center. I am an old student of Lama Yeshe's and Lama Zopa Rinpoche's. I have been around for many years and have attended many kids camps and retreats with my three children throughout the years at Milarepa Center. I feel I have big boots to fill following John Feuille, but I have confidence that with Lama Zopa Rinpoche's guidance, all the projects Rinpoche has requested Milarepa Center to do, will be completed."

Venerable Lhundrup Nyima

Spiritual Program Coordinator
I feel very fortunate and grateful, having this incredible opportunity to be of service to Lama Zopa Rinpoche by working in one of his centers, helping in my limited and small way to make His big vision for this Center become true.  

I met Lama Lhundrup and Lama Zopa Rinpoche the first time at the November course in Kopan 1998, which turned my life completely around. During the Nov. course 2000 I took ordination and spend the following year mainly in India and Nepal. In March 2002 I went to Chenrezig Institute (Australia) to live in the nun's community and attend the Buddhist Study Program taught by Geshe Tashi Tsering for almost 3 years. It was in mid 2004 that Lama Zopa Rinpoche told me to come to Milarepa Center and I have been living here since March 2005. I am very happy to be here in the service of the Dharma to all of you.
