Terry Hagan spent over a quarter century as the personal assistant of the late Ven Namgyal Rinpoche. During this time he accompanied the Rinpoche travelling the world, giving teachings and empowerments in many countries. The Rinpoche had a unique ability to integrate teaching from both eastern and western sources, revealing the universality of the unfolding mind. He made extensive use of nature, frequently leading trips to many parts of the world where students were taught to use nature studies to enhance their practice. Terry was also extremely fortunate to have had teachings and empowerments from many Tibetan Masters, including H.H. Dalai Lama, H.H. Gyalwa Karmapa, H.H. Sakya Trizen, H.E Chogye Trizen Rinpoche, among others. He has also studied Theravada Buddhism and The Western Mysteries. He has recently completed a retreat with the Javanese movement meditation teacher Suprapto Suryodarmo. Since the Rinpoche's passing, Terry has been sharing his experience and insights with students in North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. Terry uses his wide ranging interests, his love of nature, and above all his continual commitment to the teaching of compassion, to create a refreshing accessible approach to meditation.
