PBMG's director

The Princeton Buddhist Meditation Group is directed by the Ven. Bhikshuni Karma Trime Lhamo, an American-born Buddhist nun. A practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism for nearly 35 years, Ani Trime originally studied with Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, one of the first Tibetan Buddhist masters to teach in the West; she also has a broad appreciation of various other Buddhist traditions, having studied with Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche, the Venerable Cham Kusho, and other Tibetan teachers, as well as Theravada teacher Ayya Khema. She has also had some limited experience of Zen practice.

Ani Trime, a student practicing on the path, does not present herself as a guru or master. Her down-to-earth, straightforward Dharma talks place great emphasis on meditation practice and everyday experience. She is also known for her sense of humor and warmth.
