Hello
I am Andy Tsao, born in Taiwan. Now a certified meditation teacher in the UK(Complimentary Medical Association). I have studied meditation for over 25 years. Trained particularly in Karma Kagyu Tibetan tradition. Currently teaching Samatha(She-Nay Tibetan) meditation. With the experience in the Tibetan traditional training(Ñgondro, Guru Yoga), I also give bespoke course(11 steps course) to work on personal development, mental health issue, anxiety, fear, trauma and relaxation.
My Story
Growing up in Taiwan, I was always interested in the "impossibles". I remember as a kid, on one road trip with my parent, we happened to discover a temple, once we were inside, there was a statue guided in gold, I was too young to comprehend at the time, apparently I was told the statue used to be a real person who passed away in meditation posture and mummified himself. Standing there staring at the statue in a shrine room filled with incense smoke, it was a surreal experience. During my university days, I was reading up about Buddhism and wanted to know how to meditate. Around 25 years ago I came across Tibetan Buddhism. On a random visit at Samye Dzong London centre, I was told the master, Akong Rinpoche happens to be in the garden, I felt an instant karmic connection with him. I attended his teaching the next day; the 1000 songs of Milarepa. A Tibetan yogi who went through unimaginable ordeals and attained enlightenment in one lifetime. I was so moved and decided to start my spiritual journey. Over the year I had received empowerment of Chrenzig(Avalosheteshvara), Green Tara, Medicine Buddha, Buddha Amithaba, Mahakala and Chöd. I received Mahamudra transmission from the 17th of Karmapa. I have since completed Ngöndro(foundation study) mentored by Thrangu Rinpoche, Mingyur Rinpoche and personal training with Ani Chomo the former abbess of Thrangu Tara Abbey in Kathmandu.
