bio	Anthony Chapman - Lama Drupgyu Tenzin, a student of Kalu Rinpoche since 1972 and a monk from 1974 to 1995, participated in the first traditional three-year retreat for Westerners from 1976 to 1980 in France. Kalu Rinpoche subsequently appointed him as Lama of his center in Paris, and later Lama Drupgyu became the first westerner to be appointed Druppön, or Retreat Master, training students in three-year retreats on Salt Spring Island, Canada. Lama Drupgyu also participated for six years in the translation of Jamgon Kongtrul’s Treasury of Knowledge. Stepping back from the traditional Buddhist world, in the mid 1990’s he spent several years developing business application software in Southeast Asia. In 2000 he assisted Eric and Andrea Colombel in the establishment of Tsadra Foundation, a New York-based non-profit that brings the skills and insights of western philanthropy to the development of resources for the advanced study and practice of Vajrayana. He is currently Vice-President and Director of Contemplative Scholarships of Tsadra Foundation and divides his time between Canada and France. As a holder of the teachings of the Shangpa and Karma Kagyu traditions as well as a varied experience of the modern world, Anthony Chapman - Lama Drupgyu continues to share his deep contemplative experience and the insights of a Western practitioner through personal mentorship and occasional retreats. https://www.lamadrupgyu.com/profile
