Katherine King first encountered the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in her teen years through a love of Beat poetry. She first established a daily meditation practice in 2000, while she was a student in Naropa University’s Nepal study abroad program. She is a vajrayana practitioner who has studied with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Kate has traveled in the Tibetan region and had the good fortune of visiting Surmang where she was able to learn more about the historical roots of this tradition.
