- About Me
I am an English woman with a Bachelor’s degree in Law (qualified barrister), a Master’s Degree in Western Philosophy (King’s College, University of London) and a Master’s degree in Tibetology (University of Hamburg, Germany).
My MA thesis in Tibetology was awarded a first-class result (by Prof. Dorji Wangchug) and later published as a book Taranatha’s Commentary on the Heart Sutra (LTWA, 2017), with a foreword by Prof. Matthew Kapstein. It is a Zhentong commentary on the Heart Sutra. Another translated book recently published is the Chariot that Transports to the Four Kayas by Bamda Gelek Gyamtso (LTWA, 2019), with a foreword by Dr. Cyrus Stearns. It is an important instruction text in the Dro Kalacakra tradition. Since 2017, after graduating from the University of Hamburg, I have been studying at a Tibetan Buddhist nunnery in India.
For other research and translations, see the www.dakinitranlsations.com website. I am the Founder and Director of Dakini Publications and Translations. The first female founded and led Dharma translations and publications online source.
I recently had two historical biographies of important Tibetan Buddhist masters published on the Treasury of Lives website.
