Jenny Warwick
After reading Meditation in Action and hearing tapes of the Vidyadara’s talks on “Tibetan Buddhism and American Karma,” Jenny began sitting with a small group of friends near Nelson, B.C. in the early 1970’s.
In 1976 Jenny attended Seminary at Land of Lakes Wisconsin where the Shambhala Buddhist teachings, as we know them, were arising and manifesting. In 1980 the Vidyadara asked her to move to Canada to be the Ambassador of the Vancouver Dharmadhatu. In addition to teaching and presiding over the center, she began to officiate at weddings. Teaching Shambhala Culture at the 1983 Seminary inspired a deep interest in the cultural history of enlightened society and its vision for social change.
As Executive Director of Karme Choling from 1985 – 1990 she presided over the development of new buildings, new programs, and the phenomenal cremation event of the Vidyadara. Jenny moved to the Northwest in 1990 where she settled in Bellingham, WA. She co directed Warriors Assembly in 1995 at Shambhala Mountain Center.
The Sakyong designated her as an Acharya in 2003 giving her the name of Hum Wangmo. She enjoys teaching the full range of Shambhala Buddhist Dharma programs and gives vows and lungs. She participated in the Sakyong’s West Coast book tours providing the public meditation instruction for Turning the Mind into an Ally and Ruling Your World.
This past year, 2006-2007, Jenny participated in the second year of the Three Year Retreat at Sopa Choling Retreat Center. Immensely grateful for the opportunity to do a long retreat, she is happy to be home again and looking forward to a year of teaching and practicing with our communities.
