Chimé Shore
Lama Karma Chimé Shore was, in 1974, the founding teacher of the Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre near Nelson, New Zealand and in 1983 of the Origins Centre. He has studied and taught for over 35 years and received ordination in the Theravada and Vajrayana traditions of Buddhism. He has studied with many eminent teachers such as HH 16th Karmapa, Ven. Kalu Rinpoche and Ven. Sayadaw U Thila Wunta. His central teacher was Ven. Namgyal Rinpoche.
Chimé's wealth of experience in working with a wide variety of people, and in combining both the spiritual and the worldly is rare. He is a warm, compassionate man who teaches in a straight-forward way. Chimé has been involved in community based projects in New Zealand, Australia and other countries, and has worked in the mental health system aiding people in their personal recovery. He has three grown sons and a partner and has an extended family life. Originally from Canada, he now resides in Western Australia and teaches mostly in Australia with some teaching tours abroad.
