One of the biggest points of confusion I see among new meditators wanting to deepen their Buddhist practice is a lack of clarity about the wider landscape of traditions and lineages. What’s the difference between the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh? Between Vipassana and Zen?
This 60-minute seminar offers an overview of the major Buddhist lineages—tracing how the tradition began in India, how it evolved across Asia, and how these distinct streams have taken root in the West.
Who’s the facilitator?
Hey, I’m Adriana 👋
I’m a Buddhist meditation teacher, scholar, chaplain, and parent. I help meditators integrate their social justice values and spiritual practice.
I believe that reimagining a more life-giving world requires social-political-economic change and deep spiritual transformation. My mission is to help you live into your values of service and solidarity supported by the radical wisdom of Buddhist practice, so that you can continue to resist in the struggle for collective change.
I am committed to making rigorous, intersectional Buddhist studies accessible to all, without the burden of expensive graduate programs. This is my way of sharing vital academic research that is essential for the growth and deepening of Buddhist studies in the West.
I’m so happy you’re here and hope you enjoy!
