Lopöns and Drupön

Lopön is a Tibetan word that means 'teacher' (acarya in Sanskrit). The lopöns of Lotus Garden have been appointed by Her Eminence Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche to teach the dharma and offer practice and study guidance to the sangha. They also lead programs which are scheduled throughout the year.

The drupön (retreat master), also appointed by Her Eminence Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche, is responsible for teaching and guiding those practitioners who undertake retreats at Lotus Garden.
