Born in Scotland, in 1970, Ven. Angie Muir obtained a Bachelors Degree in 1992. Feeling disillusioned with her prospective career path and life ahead of her, she left Scotland and combined travelling with work in Asia for 3 years until in 1995 she felt a calling to go to India to explore meditation and find her life path. Within a few months “I had the incredible fortune due to some previous karma” to discover Tibetan Buddhism, meet her main spiritual teacher Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche (of almost 30 years) and become ordained.  Ven. Angie has been a buddhist nun for over 25 years. During this time, she served at Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s residences in the US for 13 years.  As well as doing various personal retreats, she has also offered service as well as teaching and leading meditation at FPMT centers in the US and Europe.
