ZACH LARSON
BIOGRAPHY
The son of a United Church of Christ minister, Zach Larson had an early interest in religion. Introduction to the works of Chogyam Trungpa in his teens led him to explore Tibetan Buddhist teachings and traditions at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he developed a studies program integrating his interests in both Buddhism and Politics.
A year of study abroad in Nepal enabled him to meet the elderly Tibetan Buddhist master, Chatral Rinpoche, for whom he began translating writings which were later to become the book, Compassionate Action.
Zach has received teachings, empowerments and blessings from such great masters as Minling Trichen Rinpoche, Dudropchen Rinpoche, Penor Rinpoche, Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche and Trulshik Rinpoche, from whom he received the entire Nyingma Kama empowerment series. Zach studied the Longchen Nyingthig preliminaries for 6 months at Shechen Monastery in Nepal and also studied thangka painting with one of Nepal's great masters. Currently he is studying Dzogchen with his root teacher, Shyalpa Rinpoche, who is one of Chatral Rinpoche's heart disciples.
