Cheri Langston

Cheri Langston was born in South Africa in 1956. She is a mother and grandmother. She moved to America in 1997. Shortly thereafter, she began searching for more information on reincarnation and how life worked. She found teachings by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on dependent origination and began to read everything she could get her hands on by him. She took refuge in 2005 with Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Chonjor Pal Sangpo and has been studying and practicing Buddhism ever since. Later, she moved to Spokane to be near Sravasti Abbey and Venerable Chodron, whose teachings have guided her ever since. She has also studied with other wonderful Dharma teachers and feels unbelievably fortunate to have such precious opportunities ripen in her life.
