He brings many years of experience to his teaching, grounded in deep personal practice and study. He trained extensively with masters of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in Europe, India, and Nepal, including long periods of intensive retreat.\u00a0 D\u00f3nal\u2019s teaching is rooted in this tradition, while also being informed by his time at the Krishnamurti Centre in Varanasi, where he served as the resident Buddhist scholar. D\u00f3nal\u2019s approach integrates Buddhist meditative training with the radical spirit of inquiry inspired by J. Krishnamurti, offering a path that is both contemplative and deeply questioning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Everyday is a journey and the journey itself is home\u2019 &#8211; Bash\u014d We live in a world of tremendous pressure and speed.
