The Open Path is pleased to welcome to Boise Bonni Ross Meditation Classes and Retreat September 16-29 Bonni Ross combines over 40 years of study and practice in the Theravadan and Vajrayana traditions of Buddhism with motherhood, experience in holistic therapies, Western Mysteries and a 16 year career as a strategic planning consultant to business and government shaping her as a teacher and practitioner. Bonni’s classes explore the philosophical and theoretic foundations of the teaching of Awakening, as well as providing methods for increasing awareness, kindness and wisdom in daily life. Introduced to Buddhadharma by Alan Watts and Suzuki Roshi in 1964, Bonni met her principal Teacher, Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche in the mid-seventies. She studied and received empowerment from many other great teachers, including H. H. the Dalai Lama, H. H. Sakya Trizin, Dudjom Rinpoche, Kalu Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. Western influences have been Fritz Perls (with whom she studied Gestalt therapy) and Buckminster Fuller.
