Venerable Lhundrup Nyinge

 
Paula Chichester began her study of Buddhism at Berkeley High School in 1968. In 1982, two years after meeting Lama Yeshe, she was so impressed by Tibetan mind-training, she devoted her life to becoming what she experienced in her teachers.

With the support of Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche, her partner Roger Munro and many wonderful friends, she spent the last twenty years preparing for and completing two great mantra retreats in Lama Tsong Khapa's ear-whispered lineage. 

The Great Vajrayogini Retreat is a four year, 12 million mantra retreat in Lama Tsong Khapa's Ear Whispered Lineage. The grand scholar and yogi, Geshe Lhundup Sopa, named her Lhundrup Nyingje (spontaneous brave heart) at her getsul ordination in 1998.
