Gerardo Abboud: Translating the dharma (#231)

This episode of the Wisdom Podcast features special guest Gerrardo Abboud. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Gerardo went on to spend 14 years living in India and Nepal studying the Tibetan language. In 1986, he became president of the Dongyuling Center in Argentina. Since 1992, he has served as an interpreter for many lamas throughout Latin America, including Tsoknyi Rinpoche and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. 

In this episode, host Daniel Aitken and Gerardo discuss Gerardo’s introduction to Buddhism and Tibetan culture, his experiences with yogic Kagyu models of study and translating key Mahamundra texts. They also discuss how those experiences flourished into becoming a Tibetan/English and Tibetan/Spanish interpreter, and much more.
