WHO'S WHO HERE

This page is my welcome to you all.  It should contain some bio on the Director, Jacqueline Walton (jackie Roemer).  That would be me.  Thank you for your patience.  JR

You will find our Web Site on Ringu Tulku's www.Bodhicharya.org at some point. 

About Jacqueline Roemer  I don't know why I must talk about myself as if I am actually someone else...so I won't (ie. she this and that).  Bio.

Briefly, my focus is to identify ways we Misinterpret Buddhism and simply reinforce our own ideas about reality rather than opening to some other way of experience.  Another focus of my research is rooted in a post graduate degree in Conflict and Peace Studies on The Vajrayana and Deliberate Identity Change to Identify Lasting Happiness through Direct Experience.

Ringu Tulku is a Root Lama to me.  We met in 1993.  After a Retreat with Ringu Tulku in Rumtek for the Millennium, all empowerments and instructions were received to accomodate this site.  My academic credentials are varied, with post bachelor degrees in painting, creative writing  and conflict and peace studies.  The later was taken specifically to research the Deliberate Identity Change of the Vajrayana for Peace

This page is dedicated to all the students, for example of Trungpa Rinpoche and Sogyal Rinpoche and others...who hung in there when there was little security or a place to hang a hat.

These people are the planks across the river upon which new students and myself have walked.  I'm talking about people who have given up careers, families, having children, financial security.  People who have gone deeply into Tibetan Buddhism have either devoted time or money and I mean "family" resources to this pursuit.  Anyone who has even heard a lecture on Tibetan Buddhism rides on the backs of those who so generously give of their lives.  Please pray that all their projects and works bare great fruit to help all beings, not just some find out who they are. 

But let me add that anyone, scholars and practitioners alike, could use warm supportive prayers...that all this work as Buddhism has emerged from Tibet to the West...not a single effort will land on arid soil.  That as Ringu Tulku says about conditions...when they are all there, not only can enlightenment happen but it Must happen.   Thank you, JR
