About the author

Ordained by the Dalai Lama more than thirty years ago, Swiss monk Venerable René Feusi has studied with some of the greatest scholars and inspiring lamas in the Tibetan diaspora. He has also performed numerous extensive retreats, including a two-and-a-half-year seclusion focused on The Graduated Path to Enlightenment and developing mental stability. He has led large Buddhist events in Europe, Asia, and North America, and he has students worldwide. Resident teacher at Vajrapani Institute in the Santa Cruz mountains from 2001 to 2007, he now splits his time between teaching and personal retreat. He has recently published The Beautiful Way of Life: A Meditation on Shantideva’s Bodhisattva Path.

The FPMT is an organization devoted to preserving and spreading Mahayana Buddhism worldwide by creating opportunities to listen, reflect, meditate, practice and actualize the unmistaken teachings of the Buddha and based on that experience spreading the Dharma to sentient beings. Our organization is based on the Buddhist tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa of Tibet as taught to us by our founders Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.
