Tim Malnick
Tim has been a student of Rigdzin Shikpo since 1996 having first encountered Buddhism a few years before that. He lives in Bristol with his wife Ly, also a student within the tradition, and young son Noah and has been teaching in local groups and on the Lion’s Roar since 2001.
With a young family Tim is very interested in exploring practice amidst the chaos and energy of family life. He finds the directness and immediacy of the Longchen approach tremendously helpful in this sense.
Tim works with businesses and organisations as an educator and facilitator helping them develop more sustainable and socially just approaches.
In line with this exploration of genuine practice within the context of work and family life Tim has had a longstanding interest in the ideal of enlightened society – a phrase used often by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche to describe a society centred not on confusion, profit or material development but on basic goodness and a search for and path toward awakening. Tim runs occasional workshops linking the subtle and profound views of Rigdzin Shikpo’s teachings on Mahayana Maha-Ati with contemporary social, political and economic questions of the 21st century.
