| Venerable Robina Courtin |
 Venerable Robina Courtin was ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun in 1977. She was the editorial director of Wisdom Publications until 1987 and then editor of the international Buddhist magazine Mandala until the end of 2000. Since 1997 she has run the Liberation Prison Project for Buddhist Practitioners which works with people in prisons throughout the US, helping them with their practice and studies. She is an enthralling teacher, using direct language to powerfully put across her strong message.
Venerable Robina's teachings are unrelentingly challenging, hard-hitting, serious, funny, visceral, inspiring and empowering. She specialises in applying the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism to contemporary city life, using examples from TV, magazines and film. She has taught meditation to prisoners all over the world, developing a particularly close connection with people with life sentences in the USA. She is founder and director of the Liberation Prison Project, and the subject of an award-winning Australian documentary called Chasing the Buddha. Links: The Liberation Prison Project |
