Glen Svensson, from Australia, has been studying Buddhism since 1995, with teachers such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Geshe Jampa Gyatso.

After completing his Bachelor’s Degree in IT at the University of Queensland, Glen spent eight years working and traveling around the world before “bumping into" Buddhism - by taking his first Introduction to Buddhism course here at Tushita!

He then attended two of the famous November Courses at Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal, followed by seven years of intensive Buddhist philosophical studies and nine months of meditation retreat in the FPMT Master’s Program (a teacher-training course) at the Lama Tzong Khapa Institute in Italy.

Since completion of the Master’s Program in 2005, Glen has taught extensively in India, Australia and Europe, with a teaching style emphasizing clarity and simplicity. You can see Glen's teaching schedule on his own website: www.glensvensson.org
