Meet your Mentor: Suzanne Harte

SUZANNE HARTE has been a Vajrayana practitioner since meeting Lama Tharchin Rinpoche in Spokane, Washington, in 1984. With his blessings, she began her Ngondro practice and moved to California to help Lama Tharchin Rinpoche establish the Vajrayana Foundation’s retreat center, Pema Osel Ling. Under his guidance, she participated in two Three-Year Retreats at Drub Nyiy Döjö Gatsal. She has completed two Ngondros. When not in retreat, she has worked in various roles for the Vajrayana Foundation, including as director and bookkeeper. She has been a mentor for the Dudjom Ngondro Program since 2013. Suzanne’s deep faith and devotion to her Lama have led her to dedicate her life to the dharma.
