About

These Wisdom and Compassion conversations are an offering of Lama Lekshe, a teacher of Tibetan Buddhism in Portland, Oregon. Lekshe trained for over 30 years in the Karma and Shangpa Kagyu Buddhist traditions in India, Nepal and the US. She completed a traditional, fully-cloistered three year retreat in 2018. She offers classes and retreats in the US, and works extensively as both a community-and-one-to-one guide for members of the Dekleing Community and elsewhere. Lekshe's days as a secular teacher and curriculum designer, systems theory-based problem solver, mountaineer and a long-time artist all impact her approach to life and dharma. While she stays close to the Tibetan roots of her training, she also plants her perspectives, inquiries and experiments in a life here and now.
