Welcome to “A Buddhist Perspective on Peace and Purpose” - Episode #48 of Co-creating Peace – a podcast series about conscious communication and conflict transformation.

Today, I have the honor of speaking with Venerable Domo Geshe Rinpoche.

The 9th Domo Geshe Rinpoche is the Spiritual Director of White Conch Dharma Center and abbot of Lotus Lake Buddhist Retreat Center and monastery in Central Wisconsin. Having completed extensive training and retreat, Rinpoche’s current incarnation has been teaching in the United States, Europe and Canada for more than twenty years, during which time she has given numerous Buddhist retreats, both at Lotus Lake and at various retreat centers around the world. Domo Geshe Rinpoche is the author of four books: Mystery of Emptiness & Love, Red Lotus Buddhist Wisdom, Sensing Shades of Reality - A daily reader of Buddhist concepts and journal, and her most recent publication: How to Change Your Karma ~ Healing the Past. Her next book is titled "Buddha's Brass Band" for four to seven-year-olds.
