About John Rockwell

John Rockwell has been on the path of dharma for 50 years. He met Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in 1975 and studied and practiced the Buddhist and Shambhala teachings with him for 12 years. During that time, he also worked with him on translating Tibetan texts into English. For ten years, he studied and taught at Naropa University in the Buddhist Studies department. For many years, he has served as a senior teacher in Shambhala. His inspiration now is to focus on opening the heart and strengthening our community for the benefit of all.
