Pamela Gayle White
Born in Pennsylvania, Pamela Gayle White settled in France after completing her studies in horticulture there. A Buddhist practitioner since the mid-80s, Pamela spent several years working in parks and gardens before meeting - and being swept away by - the great meditation master Gendun Rinpoche. She did two 3-year retreats under Rinpoche's guidance at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling in Auvergne, France. She has a home near the retreat centers.
Pamela teaches in Europe and the Americas and is one of the Bodhi Path and Dhagpo mandala translator/interpreters (Tibetan - French - English). She translates Tibetan texts and writes articles - she's a regular contributor to Tricycle, the Buddhist Review. She spends most of her time in France and the US; in addition, she frequently travels to Nepal to study and practice under the renowned meditation master Sherab Gyalsten Rinpoche. An ardent fan of the Lojong (Mind Training) tradition, Pamela's teaching style is lively and incisive. She oversees the Philadelphia Bodhi Path Group.
