Dana Marsh has spent many years practicing meditation and studying the buddhadharma under the guidance of her root teacher, Anam Thubten Rinpoche. In 2007, he ordained her as a dharma teacher in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
She is the author of Extraordinary Freedom: Buddhist Wisdom for Modern Times, and serves as spiritual director of Heart of the Dharma. Her teaching style is contemporary and easy to relate to — she conveys the dharma by pointing directly to the heart of the matter, with love, humor, and devotion to the truth.
From Dana's ordination vows, 2007
“From now on I will always embrace loving kindness, unconditional caring to all those who come into my presence looking for the wealth of holy Dharma… I will regard this task as a way to fulfill my life's mission, to be a Bodhisattva and to give away myself to others through the generosity of wisdom and compassion.”
