A Buddhist nun since the late 1970s, Robina Courtin has worked since then with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, a worldwide network of Tibetan Buddhist activities of her teachers, Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinopche. She has served as editorial director of Wisdom Publications, editor of Mandala magazine, executive director of Liberation Prison Project, and as a touring teacher of Buddhism. She was born in Melbourne, Australia, and educated by the Catholic nuns. She studied classical singing until the mid-1960s when, ripe and ready for revolution, she became involved in the radical left in London and eventually feminism. Wanting something spiritual again she met Tibetan lamas in 1976, in Australia, and received ordination as a monastic eighteen months later, in Kathmandu. Robina’s life, as well as her work with prisoners, have been featured in the documentary films Chasing Buddha. A CD of her singing prayers and mantras, Devotion, in collaboration with Yantra de Vilder, was produced in 2018. Both available at robinacourtin.com. _____________________________________________
