About the teacher

Venerable Sangye Khadro

Venerable Sangye Khadro teaches at Sravasti Abbey, where she takes the middle-length lamrim every Thursday morning — the graded path, which arranges the whole of the teaching into steps that follow one from another.

She travels with that material too. Her teaching tours take in centres across the United States under titles like Awakening the Kind Heart, The Power of the Small Scope and Meditations on the Stages of the Path.
