Venerable Tenzin Namdag is an Australian Buddhist nun trained in the Tibetan tradition of His Holiness The Dalai Lama. She has travelled widely and  taught Buddhism in Australia and overseas. She has a grown family, and prior to ordination had a  successful business career.

Her interest in Buddhism began in 1970 when she  studied Ikebana, flower arrangement in Zen  Buddhism. Following a trip to England she  developed an interest in Tibetan Buddhism, which  led to ordination and further studies in Nepal  and India.

After a short time at  Chenrezig Institute in South-east Queensland she moved to  California as Director of the Land Of Medicine Buddha  Centre at Santa Cruz. In the US she ran many courses  relating to peace and happiness, and worked with many  inspiring spiritual teachers.
