Consciousness of The Way 126 Podcast

On today's episode of the Consciousness of The Way, we welcome Robina Courtin, buddhist nun and teacher for over 45 years. She shares her wisdom and knowledge into Tibetan buddhism and the teachings of the buddha. Enjoy.
Since discovering the Buddhist path and ordaining as a nun in 1978 – Robina celebrated 35 years as a nun on February 9, 2013 – Ven. Robina has worked full time for her heart lamas, Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and their Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition.
At Wisdom Publications between 1978 and 1987 she oversaw at various times its design, production, and editorial activities. Also at Wisdom, she co-edited two issues of Wisdom Magazine – the forerunner of FPMT’s Mandala Magazine, which she edited from 1994 until 2000. She was executive director of Liberation Prison Project from 1996 until 2009, establishing it as a non-profit in both the US and Australia. She has edited numerous books of the lamas, including Becoming the Compassion Buddha, Bliss of Inner Fire and Dear Lama Zopa; has been the spiritual program coordinator at various centers; and since 1987 has taught at FPMT centers worldwide, including serving as the resident teacher at Tushita Meditation Centre in Dharamsala in 2010. These days she travels throughout the year, teaching at the centers, and edits for publication the lamas’ teachings.
Known for her extraordinary energy and fiery compassion, Ven. Robina’s life and work have been the subject of documentary films Chasing Buddha and Key to Freedom.
Having worked for Ven. Robina in various capacities since 2006, I have had the great privilege to see that extraordinary energy and compassion first-hand. But it is perhaps her fearless approach to offering the Dharma andgenerous, entrepreneurial spirit that I have found the most inspiring.
