Tara Mandala was founded by Tsultrim Allione in 1993. Tsultrim was raised in New England, as Joan Rousmaniere Ewing. At a young age, she became interested in Buddhism through her grandmother, Frances Rousmaniere Dewing, one of the first women to receive a doctorate degree in philosophy from Harvard University. Tsultrim, impressed by the depth the Tibetans had reached in understanding spirituality, was ordained by H.H. Karmapa in 1970. Before the Cultural Revolution and Chinese Occupation, one third of their population lived in monasteries. Tsultrim believed that amongst the Tibetans she had found a possible means of providing a positive direction for Westerners seeking a spiritual path. She found the Tibetan teachers were holding a living wisdom tradition which had been carefully transmitted from teacher to disciple without interruption for centuries. Tsultrim trained in language and meditation in the Himalayas for several years. In India and Nepal, she studied with Apho Rinpoche, Kalu Rinpoche, Sapchu Rinpoche, Khamtrul Rinpoche, Dudjom Rinpoche, and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. During her time in the Himalayas, Tsultrim formulated her vision of a meditation center similar to those in Tibet, but adapted to the West. Tsultrim returned to the USA from Nepal in 1973 and began to study with Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche. After a year as the only Tibetan Buddhist nun in America, she returned her vows, feeling her robes and ordained status created a barrier, rather than facilitating her practice in the West. Tsultrim then married and after the birth of three children sought to integrate meditation with motherhood. During this time she taught at Naropa University. In 1979, she moved to Italy where she studied with Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche for seven years. Her dream of a retreat center was put on hold as she raised her children and continued studying meditation with Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, returning to the United Sates in 1986. Tsultrim's search for meaningful models for women on a spiritual path lead to the writing of her groundbreaking book, Women of Wisdom (1984, 2001), the translation of six biographies of great Tibetan women spiritual teachers. Tsultrim has taught Buddhism since 1974, serving as a bridge between East and West, and bringing a woman's experience and honor of the sacred feminine to her teaching. |

That’s why they keep us apart.” “…if we really see that the world is our own projection then we also see that when we relax that projection our external mandala changes.” (”…wenn wir die Welt als unsere Projection erkennen, werden wir feststellen, dass wenn wir diese Projektion entspannen, sich auch unser äußeres Mandala verändert.”) |
