Traveling teacher Angelika Tesch
We are glad to announce two public lectures and a mini retreat in Chicago with Diamond Way teacher Angelika Tesch. Event details and a brief bio of Angelika are below.
About Angelika
Angelika Tesch was born in 1963 in Vienna, Austria and went on to a career as a teacher after majoring in German and history. In 1984, at the age of 21, Angelika took refuge with Lama Ole Nydahl, a teacher in the Karma Kagyu school of Diamond Way Buddhism. Since then she has spent time traveling and studying with Lama Ole, as well as teaching the dharma throughout Europe and other parts of the world at Lama Ole's request. Seven years ago she moved to Kiel in northern Germany where she lives in and helps run the Kiel Diamond Way Buddhist Center. She currently teaches in a boarding school and spends the remainder of her time lecturing and practicing Diamond Way Buddhism.
