Life

Tenzin Wangyal's parents fled the Chinese invasion of Tibet[2] and later, in 1961, he was born in Amritsar, India.[2] At the age of eleven, he began dzogchen training from both Buddhist and Bon teachers.[1][2] He began an eleven-year traditional course of instruction at Bonpo Monastic Center[1] and in 1986 attained the degree of Geshe,[1] the highest academic degree of traditional Tibetan culture. That same year, Tenzin Wangyal began employment at the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala, India.[1]

In 1988 he began to teach in Italy at the invitation of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.[2] In 1991, he was awarded a Rockefeller Fellowship at Rice University in Houston, Texas.[2] A second Rockefeller Fellowship followed in 1993.[2]

Tenzin Wangyal has chosen to stay in the United States and teach ancient Bon traditions to Western students.[2]

Tenzin Wangyal has an interest in the interpretation, control and application of dreams and has written fairly extensively on lucid dreaming and dream yoga as well as Dzogchen in Bon tradition.
