Larry Akey

Larry Akey first connected with Buddhism in the 1970s when Trungpa Rinpoche was teaching near his childhood home in Colorado. Inspired by his grandfather, a university professor, he has a deep connection with scholarship and study of Buddhist texts. Before discovering Tsoknyi Rinpoche and Tibetan Buddhism, Larry practiced with Soka Gakkai, the Insight Meditation Community of Washington and Shambhala. Although Larry has studied and practiced primarily with Tsoknyi Rinpoche, he has also received teachings and empowerments from a number of other teachers, including Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, Garchen Rinpoche, Lama Alan Wallace and Acharya Malcolm Smith. Larry leads the meditation component of Heartwood. He has had extensive retreat time.
