Lama Rod Owens has a blend of formal Buddhist training and life experience from discrimination as a black gay man from the Southern US.
He has a unique ability to understand and relate to those around him in a way that is spacious and sincere. You can catch glimpses of your own often conflicting identities.
He includes the time-tested, traditional Buddhist principles and practices that give listeners real tools for healing and evolution. He is very much engaged in social change activism
In his new book he shares a strong call for those who would dream a more just, ethical world into being.
Lama Rod Owens was officially recognized by the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism after receiving his teaching authorization from his root teacher the Venerable Lama Norlha Rinpoche when he completed the traditional 3-year silent retreat program at Kagyu Thubten Chöling Monastery (KTC). It was during this time that he dealt with years of past pain and trauma and found forgiveness and compassion for himself, what he views as a critical step before truly being able to help others.
